PACROM for the Google Nexus 5 (Hammerhead)? - PAC Q&A

Hola
Of all the custom roms available I always seek out PACROM. The sheer number of customizations you folks offer are second to none! Any website or forum thread where one can find out when an official release is going to be available or at least a discussion on it?
Thanks for the hard work and time on continuing this.
"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"

We already have maintainers for the N5. And for PAC 4.4, check our gerrit or github for progress

What exactly does that mean as far as Pac Rom availability for the Nexus 5?

That there is already someone assigned to set up PAC 4.4 for Nexus 5, and as soon as Nightlies starts to be released you will have it. PAC team is already merging somethings before release builds

A maintainer is someone who is working on and will eventually post the release correct? I did notice PA nightlies get released so hopefully Pac will come out soon.

You can build the rom yourself from source. I've been using it for a bit and its working well.

Awww I almost thought this was the official ROM for the Nexus 5 because Google wasn't showing the entire title in the search. Can't wait for this!

sign me up too

Any updates on the progress of this?

Definitely can't wait till it hits my best friend has it on his Atrix HD and loves it guess I will stick with beanstalk till it drops

looking forward to pacrom! as im new to the custom rom world im extremely excited having never experienced it

As much as I want PACROM, I know that it's probably going to be a while till we get it. PA and AOKP both don't even have all their features for hammerhead yet weird since the nexus line is as open as it gets lol

Actually, we are pretty close to a release and just have some settings related stuff to sort out before we release. The release of features from roms like PA do not have any impact on our release timeline as those features will be merged into PAC after they have finished/released it. As for your device being a Nexus, this again does not affect the release timeline for your device. Features are added onto Android itself, not ported to each device individually.

Oh this is great to hear... Been waiting since I got my n5 to hear some news for Pacman on it...

First used Pac on my blaze, than my s3.... Cannot wait for my N5 to get it!!

pacman is one of my favorite roms by far. because its a mashup of everything and you get so much more. I cant wait till it drops so i can flash on my N5

I'm wondering how the merge will go for CM into PAC considering they made all these changes to the core and kernel and many major kernel devs have given up support for it... Hope it's extra features can be merged successfully...
Sent from my Nexus 5

I built from what they have on github and they already have the CM features implemented. There's not much else but that's understandable seeing the shape of PA and AOKP with their features but I don't think adding CM features is going to be to difficult

Any new news on this...?? CM just had their 3rd milestone...
Sent from my Nexus 5

Its all good. The longer it takes to release, the better it will be (hopefully, right)... PA and AOKP both are still working on their own features as well.

Yup

Problem right now is that with a few exceptions, no one has a Nexus 5, and we don't have blobs for any other Nexus devices.
It's a bit silly to waste time on hackjobbing old blobs on a Nexus device when you know there will be blobs within a week. So plodey is working on getting things merged with a different non-Nexus device which we know isn't going to see updated blobs for eternity, if ever, for the moment. It's probably one of the last devices you'd expect any of us to prioritize for those who know our device histories well.

The blobs which I've used is the newest from the latest system dump and I think that will have no problems [I may be wrong]
I'll get my nexus5 in a week. Also many people I know have it so I can get it tested in that way too
I know which device is plodey working with

Did you try to build? Seems like a lot of stuff is not yet completely merged.
How does this merging works normally? Just merge the 4.4 to the main branch? (@XpLoDWilD the merge on libhardware_legacy is not compilable, you missed parts of 24af9ec380e138f24864cd9359c6901b8b29e5ee). Or cherry-pick each commit from 4.3? And upload each cherrypick to gerrit?

will G2 get custom 4.4 based roms?

right now I'm still torn between G2 and Nexus 5, while G2 clearly has a rather superior hardware I've been spoiled with the look from pure 4.4 experience also unfortunately the Nexus isn't available yet on my country.
but from what I've seen there is no 4.4 based rom for G2 too, the question is, will it happen? specifically though I really want the kitkat version of Paranoid Android, will it come to G2? or is it actually more sure will come faster to Nexus 5?
It will eventually. But no manufacturers will gets it as fast nexus devices. If on time updates and rom is your main concern then your choice is limited.
-LG G2
I'm torn about this too, interested in the G2's battery life but only if I can get AOSP very smoothly and with no fuss. I wonder how stable CM11 nightlies will be for the first few months.

yeah, gsmarena battery test on nexus 5 kill my enthusiasm with it, however if it still a looong way for G2 to get 4.4 based rom then I'll just get nexus.
I know that everyone says that Nexus devices get updates the soonest, and while that's completely true and valid, to me it doesn't feel that way. I usually wait for CM or AOKP to put out stable builds before I upgrade, and by then they've built for every device and my neighbor's cat. Heck, it's been two weeks since 4.4 came out, and so far the Nexus 5 and the Nexus 7 officially have it, while in the mod community, CM11 is already out for other devices in a useable form. So, certainly official support for Nexus devices is quickest, but practically all the devices in the mod community get updates pretty quick.
That being said, the Nexus 4 has no official 4.4, but we on LG G2 are going to get CM11 very soon.
is this phone really get the support for at least 2 years from LG or they will just leave G2 behind with only one/ two update provided like what they did on their flagship phone in the past like LG Optimus 2x
I'm pretty sure we'll get a working PA 4.0 (KitKat 4.4) pretty soon. Houston already has his version of PA 3.99 up and running for us and he was just made a member of the PA Team the other day. It's just a matter of time, guys, be patient. . Houston kicks ass, too!

so do you think it's better to buy G2 than Nexus 5?
Problem for Canadians is there's almost no support at all for D803s. Huge drawback of so many variants of G2.

It's so true. I'm disheartened by the lack of availability for the d803, however don't posses the skills to do something about it. I've started down the long road of trying to learn for myself so I'm not just one of those people that sit idly by and complain... but like I said it's a long road and it feels like I'll probably own a G4 by the time if figure out how to bring ROMs over to the G2 lol
I was obsessing over getting the nexus 5 for as long as it was leaked it was coming out. Once it was confirmed it wasn't coming to Verizon I thought I would settle for the G2. Let me tell you that now I have had it for 2 weeks and tried every ROM out there so far. I can happily say I didn't settle at all. Great phone. Came from gnex. Roms are coming out. Not at nexus speed but they are out there. Waiting for pa 4.0 but I am rocking a ROM from the droid Razer forum not xda called vallidus by GZ ROMs. Lots of functions. Everything you could want. Build is 4.3.1 base. Absolutely stable.

Seeing how they are so similar again, like N4 and LGOG were, I would buy the G2 for its added battery size alone. Also, Houston has the Canadian version and is currently hard at work on PA 4.0. Just be patient. :beer::thumbup:

will it work on the international version of G2?
Hosers, eh?
Well, my take is that the Nexus is so similar to the G2 that we can't help but get lots of dev support (ie, so many of us who didn't want to wait for the Nexus and/or changed our minds at the last minute the same way a Chevy dealer puts a Corvette in the showroom to sell you a Malibu). We might not see as much as the G4 or the One, but Chrysler still sells a ton of cars even though they are not Ford or GM. I came from a Skyrocket which was just different enough from the S2 not to use the same roms, but close enough that it still has (unofficial) CM/PA/AOKP/PacMan support plus half a dozen hobbyist roms two years out.
Will we get "Official LG" Android 4.5 six minutes after the Nexus? No. Will I be stripping the factory rom and bloat off my phone the instant I get home from vacay (and off this stupid mac) and NEVER looking back? Absolutely.
And to the 803 guys and gals, I make no claims to be an expert by any means, but from the little reading I have done so far, the main difference between the models seems to be in the bootloader not the rom, so if that's the case you're bound to have someone up there willing to compile CM or whathaveyou for the 803... it just might not be "official."

I'd say yes so you can have the best of both worlds. Not just a phone with only AOSP based roms.

Honestly I bought the g2 with the intention of throwing vanilla on there the moment I got it. I wound up digging the stock ROM more than AOSP. Some awesome features and optimisation and 4.4 next month!

*off topic* CM and PAC are both official for the rocket, so is Carbon and Slim Bean. That community is awesome and I still find myself visiting it daily. Team chopsticks already have a pretty stable alpha 2 version of cm11 up for the ol' 727 and, you're right, there are a ton of hobbyists in that community that have brought just about every rom you could want.
I'm just worried about getting myself into a situation where AOSP ROMs aren't working out or have problems. What's the main diff between T-Mobile (D801), AT&T (D800), and international (D802)? Does international work on US LTE? Does the Loki patch and CM 10.2 absolutely work on the T-Mobile version?
People.. Quit worrying it will happen

But I guess moto g is not samsung's That makes it special
I feel that the only reason Samsung release so many similar yet multiple devices is to stop developers to focus on them...that way we have to buy new devices

The Moto G will get done if a few developers decide to do so. The best thing is to have an unofficial port first of all then polish it up so it doesn't rely on ugly hacks and a fully functional rom can be built using the CyanogenMod repo. Then it can be submitted to the CyanogenMod team for evaluation. If it passes then it could be official.
So developers, let's be having you!

Yep, Omni looks very promising. Saying this as a long-time CM fan.
Important thing is that we can see a couple of first-class devs flocking here.
I'd rather have OmniROM but the more the merrier.
Voted as well, i'm getting a G next week so Cyanogen support is welcome even if i won't flash it others will.

[Q] stupid question...

I am currently using a Galaxy S5 on t-mobile and cannot wait for cyanogenmod to release a nightly build. I see there are a couple of cyanogen based roms available now but there is no working camera. i was just wondering what is wrong with the development issue for a working camera. i love everything about aosp roms and was actually considering switching to a nexus 5 just for the pure android experience, but figured i would hold off a little longer to see whats in store this fall with the next nexus or silver or whatever theyre planning on calling it. its a dumb question i know and i just have to be patient. thanks in advance

I like AOSP too, don`t get me wrong but it becomes boaring to me after some time. And anyone knows Samsung has bloatware installed (which most you can turn off though) so that shouldn`t come as a surprise

The issue is there is no camera module or something. I think it will be fixed reasonably soon but obviously there's no way to say for sure.

Paranoid Android is back

Has anyone else seen the announcement? Paranoid Android had announced their return. Right now there are only downloads for the "officially" supported devices. Hopefully a dev will begin building for the M8 and add it to the supported legacy devices so that we can start getting nightly builds.

The last PA for the M8 is 4.4.4.
I'd love to try it on my M8, I'm still waiting for a dev to take over this.
Wooo let's do this.
