AOSP Rom - Nexus 6 General

Was able to get a ROM built and running based on LRX21V straight from source. Just trying to get a feel on how many people would want to run AOSP. There are some bugs present such as video recording causing the camera to stop working. I think there are binaries missing that Google didn't include in the binaries that are available. Same problem happened on the Nexus 5. Didn't test it much as I just purely wanted to see if it booted.
Also there is a lack of gapps available so I won't be rushing to get anything out. Let me know what y'all think and I'll try to tackle this to get some other options out for us.
Here is the test build for those that want to have a look. This is just a test build so bugs are to be expected. Video recording does not work. Haven't tested it completely as I need a fully working device this weekend. This is for those that have free time to just nit pick and find all bugs in this. Please report back after you are done and let me know what else you may have found that is broken or not working right.
Stock Google kernel (so if you flashed the kernel image to remove encryption your phone WILL be encrypted again)
Built off 5.0.0_r7 from AOSP
Flash ROM, flash gapps and flash SU that is linked below. This will allow root access on the stock kernel.
You can also optionally flash the custom boot image after flashing the ROM, gapps and SU by rebooting to bootloader and fastboot flash boot the custom encryption kernel. That is optional. Be sure to go back in to recovery after flashing the kernel to reflash the SU to make sure it was not overwritten.

The development section is kind of depressing me right now (no offense to devs) so bring it!

That is pretty offensive. It is a new device and isn't in the developers hand so releasing work without testing their work leads to quality problems.
I don't see you doing any development work and developers don't owe anyone anything as they do all this work as a hobby pretty much.

I know the reasons behind it, which was the point of the "no offense." I wasn't whining. I was trying to help motivate and encourage OP. He, as well as others, are working on making things happen and I'm excited for it and waiting eagerly for the kernel source to drop.
You took what I said the wrong way, so step off of your soap box, zephiK.
Edit: That reminds me. If any devs need testers, PM me. I'll be happy to help the community out.

No. Minor bug fixes for the particular device it was made for but that's it. I did notice on the N5 that there was a significant "miscellaneous" battery drain on r7. Might roll back to r3 if its present since r3 is the one for us (its also the same build for the N5).

Miscellaneous bug again? I wonder if they broke the same thing they already fixed, or if this is something else that is just falling into miscellaneous as well.
Thanks for the work on this!

In for the long haul! Tired of the plethora of gapps on this phone. Somehow I managed to break photos once by removing some google app... Weird.

Yes just use the one I linked to. Be sure to flash it in the same session so you don't lose the custom recovery.

CLOSED TEST - (no longer Looking) for Beta Testers with ICS Experience - BETA CLOSED!

I am closing the beta for the time being, have a handful of testers atm. It may open up again, stay tuned.
You know the name of the game. Experienced ICS users only please.
I have been putting together a frankenstein type ICS build, blending some tweaks with:
-Beta 2.5.1 i9000
-Beta2 by goodoane
-ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta2-i9000.zip by onecosmic
-Recommended using the FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip from here: http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount (the kernel is included in the zip)
-Also recommend the KB5 modem, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19795419&postcount=130 (this is also included in the zip, but its not flashing with the rom as of right now)
This has some framework, build.pop, and ui tweaks applied, but I've pulled back on the theming to direct my attentions to functionality.
-Keymapping is corrected
-Can mount via MTP mode
-Moutning works in recovery
-ADB and Shell both work
-SU out of the box
-Lockscreen rotates and screen rotates 360 degrees
Not working:
Must toggle mute (on then off) in order to be heard by incoming callers
GPS
Video Recording
Video Playback (buggy)
You tell me what else to add here.
Installation: (coming from another ICS build, or CM7 only!!)
-Reboot to recovery, perform a factory reset
-Go to mounts and storage and format system
-Flash the Beta2 Kernel (FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip)
-Flash the rom
-Flash your modem (no longer need to reflash the kernel)
-Fix permissions
-Reboot the phone
New Info
As you guys have read, I have been running the data data tweak from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20017090&postcount=1756 and it seems to have made things a lot more stable. No odd application issues going on anymore, although there is a bit more lag, but I think I have found a temp fix for that.
Since Friday night I have been running AutoKill Memory Optimizer, free version from the market. Its not a task killer really, but it maintains the amount of free system memory on your device, from what I understand. I am using Aggressive settings, with the Advanced settings for Memory and Battery enabled, and my phone is flying!
If you guys want, give that a shot, and let me know your results.
*******************************
So, who wants to test?
First, you promise not to release this or share it with anyone, by signing up you agree to this one term.
You should have experience with ICS, and know how to flash it and recover from a bad flash.
If you've never flashed ICS before, you definitely want to start there.
I am looking to possibly release this to the wild by the end of the week, so active testers are a big plus!
When I feel like I have enough testerss I will post that on the top of this post, just ask in here, and I will pm you a link.
I'll test, running ICS now.. I know how to do a little above basic stuff.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
can you fix the problem with (i guess all ICS) people not hearing me right?
sometimes they hear me ok, sometimes too loud, or not at all.
i''ve tried to hold and resume but it doesn't fix the issue every time.
this should be a top priority for any rom.
i returned to your zen froyo. it is nice and battery holds 4-5 days for me.
thank you.

Toggling mute fixes it for me every time. I do plan on looking into that, but I'm not there quite yet.
So, no new takers?
I'll test it out... I've been on the i9000 ICS ROM for about 2 weeks now.
Link sent, thx
Ok, I'll Bite. Have experience with everything you stated above. Am currently using the Passion V5 Beta and a lot to like but still a work in progress. Let me know if I can help.
Been running it for about 30 mins, nothing to report so far. Not a big fan of the green theme though, but I will still continue to test.

Followed instructions to the T. After flashing rom, then reflashing kernel, and fixing permissions I go to reboot system now, and it keeps me in Recovery. Will keep trying and let you know. Any thing you want me to try? Could it be because I have Gingerbread bootloader?

What rom were you coming from? This should run with both bootloaders, but I'm on the stock bootloaders, so that might be it. Also, you should be coming from either CM7 or another ICS rom.
Maybe try redownloading the file and reflashing.

I would be glad to help with testing with one caveat. I need either USB tethering or wifi hotspot to be working. I use that quite frequently and would not be able to keep the ROM installed without it.

Have we obtained root? Can I help?

Do we need help getting root on this phone, or is everything the same as the international version? I have my phone in hand, if anyone needs system dumps or anything like that.
Same. i have all the dumps and source on my pc and my phone in hand. LETS DO THIS :cyclops:

No, because then who are the dumb a$$es going to blame and bug if it does not work, or breaks something.
Not a smart idea for a dev to post something that they are not sure of, and possibly have people lose faith in that developer. I know as a dev I would not post ANYTHING, that I was not sure if it worked or not. Even if I did it on a test unit, and not a retail phone.

Unless you're going to install a custom ROM, it's not as important anymore to root these phones.
The SIII lets you uninstall [disable] almost any stock app you want.
After disabling a ****-load of stock apps, I am getting awesome battery & performance from my S III.
I'd like to see some theming and custom ROM's and overclocking though of course.

Eh, that's debateable. In the end it boils down to what you want to do with the device. For me? I want root so I can reinstall Cerberus to the System folder so even if someone wipes my phone, I can still track it. Can't do that without root.

Actually most of the AT&T stuff can be disabled. The only thing I really can't disable is AT&T Address Book. Other than that? Every AT&T App (all 5 of them) was able to be disabled.....so I'm not sure what you speak of.

Yea, this is actually the first AT&T Smartphone where I haven't cursed them out for the amount of bloatware installed. Granted I did immediately load Apex Launcher to tide me over until I can install CM9. I hate how touchwiz looks, but that's not AT&T, that's Samsung. This thing honestly speeds along, especially with websites. I'm also apparently in an LTE test area.....with a piss poor signal I was pulling about a 20mbit download and 13 mbit upload. I have to say, it's faster and more responsive than my GSII with CM9. That's impressive considering it is running TW.
Also from looking at his posts he did order it....so he could be using the GNex until he can. Though this pretty much is the GNex....just not running stock Android.

Plasma kernel beta testers

'Tis the season for Plasma!
After weeks of development, I will soon be needing some beta testers for the Note 4 version of Plasma kernel. Sprint TW variants only right now. PM me if you are interested, and when I have something ready I will contact you.
This version of Plasma kernel is entirely new and based on Note 4 sources, with many ported features completely rewritten from the ground up. As such, right now it still lacks some features from the existing (Note 2) Plasma kernel.
Oh oh Santa aka ffolkes has come with an amazing gift it's so awesome your building ur kernel for note4 thanks so much

Looks like I greatly underestimated how many bugs and features I had left to work on. So, here we are, like 2 months later...
Here is a beta version of Plasma kernel for the Sprint Note 4 (SM-N910P) ONLY. I have only tried it on TouchWiz version NIE, but it should work for NK2 as well.
Instructions:
Nandroid at least your boot and system partition.
Flash this: http://www.plasmakernel.com/downloads/trltespr/plasmakernel_v0-10_trltespr_kk_tw.zip
Clear cache/dalvik if you want, you probably don't have to.
Boot. Rarely it may immediately reboot once after the Samsung logo. I do not yet know why this happens.
For now you must manually disable Samsung's DVFS via Xposed (Wanam, etc) or similar. Don't reboot yet. In the future there will be support for hardlimit.
Download Synapse from the Play store.
Go to the "Utilities" tab and disable mpdecision and thermal-engine.
Now reboot.

Yes. The link was above, but my server is down at the moment due to sudden hard drive failure. I will be posting a new beta in a day or so. It is more stable.
I have put SO much work into this kernel, I hope people like it. The changelog (still unposted) is huge - It contains entirely new features from my wacky mind, as well as total rewrites of features from the Note2. I have gone to lengths to try to make it modular so I can maintain new features for the Note2 and Note4, and hopefully a tablet if I can ever afford one.

Hey do you think you can port this to sprints note edge pleased =)
After much server downtime, and a domain registrar transfer, things are stable again.
Plasma kernel is almost ready for a release in the Development subforum. There are so many features, it is daunting to document them.

Clear cache/dalvik if you want, you probably don't have to.
Boot. Rarely it may immediately reboot once after the Samsung logo. I do not yet know why this happens.
For now you must manually disable Samsung's DVFS via Xposed (Wanam, etc) or similar. Don't reboot yet. For the record, in the future there will be support for hardlimit.
Download Synapse from the Play store.
Go to the "Utilities" tab and disable mpdecision and thermal-engine.
Now reboot.
Wander around Synapse to see the cool things Plasma kernel has to offer.

Is it possible to begin a LP build since source is out already

To Pay or Not to Pay, that is my question.

All;
Now that Cataclysm is no more, eventually I will have to move to another rom. #1 criteria is it has to allow Pay. I don't want to debate if Pay is good or bad, just if it works 100% on your rom.
Can you all post what rom you are using that supports or does not support Pay? If you see for ex. Pure Nexus in a prior post's and have nothing to add, no need to repost it unless say you have issues getting it to work or such.
Cataclysm = Yes, currently dead
Benzo (Great!! rom) = No, currently not supported
Chroma = Yes
Pure Nexus = Works with "some work"
I am running Chroma and have had no issues with Android Pay. Have made multiple purchases since I flashed it awhile back.

AFAIK Android Pay will not work on any rom if you have xposed installed.

It won't work because Xposed has to modify the system partition. I thought I read somewhere that they were attempting to make a systemless Xposed, but I can't find it. I could be wrong.

I believe you will see Cata roms pop up when Feb. security patch comes around. you just wont see any of his work on XDA. I think he hinted towards it a bit. Not confirmed but a def. hunch. We will find out in a couple weeks. If not i will move towards Pure Nexus and go through the steps of getting AP to work on there. I would jump on Chroma as well but he doesnt support expanded desktop anymore. I believe that is a very underrated feature.
Also on Chroma...for now.

Good news re Cata, I will keep my eyes open. Do you know if Pure Nexus supports Pay?

It doesn't, but you can get it to work with a little bit of work. I ran pure nexus for a little bit just to see if it would work, and then I went back to my own build.
Whoa what happened to Cataclysm ? Atlantis was one of the best devs on this forum and Cataclysm was brilliant!
EDIT: Nvm just saw
What a pack of complete twats

Yeah, that was my point. It doesn't work out of the box...you have to do "work" to get it to work.

Because it has root, any ROM that has root requires some slight work to get it to work. You can always flash the SU remover zip and it should work with no other steps.

Yes, I know. I was able to get it to work, I never said I wasn't able to get it to work. I think @jackpollard 's question was answered...we can move on from that now :good:

REQUEST: Marshmallow ROM for Pixel XL

Sorry, didnt know what thread to post in.
Can someone compile a Marshmallow ROM for Pixel XL? Just so that we can run our beloved Xposed module, please? I can even donate few $ if that's the motivation.

Highly doubt it would be possible unless someone puts in tremendous hours of work into this since the pixel came with nougat.
I just don't see some Dev putting hours into this just for xposed and for an obsolete version of Android.

What do you need Xposed for so badly..?
Xposed isn't really needed for much anymore. I mean most stuff u can do on xposed you can do with root, or root app, or an app, or flashable zip. And MM not gonna happen like he said, wishful thinking, lol. We need an Android O ROM though ? once TWRP works on O.

Generally speaking, such requests belong in the Q&A forum.
That stated, I can't imagine having the nerve to ask a question that starts with the words "can someone compile a ROM..."
In a word, this request should have never been made.
As others have mentioned, it's not likely someone can build a ROM based on an operating system that has never been available with this device.

Hope you know there's a HUGE # of people not upgrading/flashing ROMs beyond Marshmallow due to Xposed not being compatible.

Wait, on the Pixel and Pixel XL devices? We had Marshmallow?
Yeah, there are SEVERAL xposed modules I miss very much.
They gave me options that you cannot find in any Nougat custom ROM.
I'd LOVE to see MarshMallow on Pixel but that's not going to happen.
NotifyClean and EnhancedToast are two that I miss the most, just off the top of my head.
But I had like 15-20 modules on MarshMallow and some are no longer needed but some I really miss.
I'd pay a lot of money just for NotifyClean alone. Nougat has a similar option built-in but it sucks badly in comparison to what NotifyClean can do.
I also liked the one for PlayStore that made PlayStore open directly to "my apps" instead of the main page.
App Settings, Expand Volume, Native Clipboard, CrappaLinks, APM+.
Then there were MANY modules that did clone of what custom ROM's offer. But by simply re-enabling the saved modules after clean flashing a new ROM, you saved a TON of time by not having to set each item individually in ROM settings. Like App Ops Exposed, GravityBox, Lock Screen Mods, etc.
I'd pay big money for App Settings also. Though it hasn't worked properly since Lollipop.

You can create a shortcut to the my apps page on your home screen by long pressing the play store, if that helps.
Some people posting to take up space to lash out. Obviously they don't know how great Xposed(swift knife for android) is and means to Android. Or they just idiots trying to gain credibility. Xposed owns!

Never needed Xposed, most Roms had what I wanted. To reach their own, some people love it and others don't care for it.

I mean, I love xposed, and totally see where you're coming from, but calling others idiots isn't necessary..
I understand, its frustrating when you say "I like this feature, does anyone know how to port it?" But others respond with "I never needed it, therefore you shouldn't need it."
I liked xposed because I could get all my favorite lineage/cm features on any ROM I waa on.. I haven't seen a screen off, long press volume button seek tracks app to work on nougat. Macrodroid has gotten close, but not completely there.
Believe me, I kept my oneplus 3 on marshmallow for months after nougat rolled out because xposed. And here you are nearly a year out. But I think what might be a good option as well is to make a list of modules you use, post them, and see what apps others recommend.
Figure if the need was bad enough one would figure out how to port it themselves ?
