Kitkat and Pie - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So did KitKat severely break Pie? It surprises me that no Roms have it yet. Since I am not a dev, I don't know the specifics as to how KitKat differs from Jellybean. Any word on the progress of pie? I cannot get LMT RC6 to work properly on KK ROMs. Thanks

Pie? Are you talking about pie touch controls? If so it's in several ROMs and can be added to stock rom with xposed framework and GravityBox.If you're talking about something else entirely then igore this post.

Pie originated with paranoid android. Since they haven't released a rom yet no pie. What does lmt not do for you? Working fine for me.

I'm using gravitybox for pie and it works perfectly.

Same here, xposed with gravitybox and using pie controls.

I see Roms using gravity box and exposed but I am not sure where to download them separately. Anyone have a link?

I'll have to check again, but yes, I believe you to be correct. What about PA 2.54? Except for notif weather. Which means having to use Notification weather app. Too large in tray, imo, and I loathe using extra apps just for one or two features not present in the rom. Day by day, I want to build my own from base up.
*Edit* black bean 6, and I apologize for previous reply. Slow days at work drive me nuts.

KitKat and Theme Chooser

I'm noticing that most kk custom roms don't include a theme chooser like most jb roms do. What's the reason for that? I've been searching for one but when the topic is brought up in the threads, the devs seem emphatic about not adding it. Were there changes in kitkat that make it difficult? Have any roms successfully implemented it?
Sent from my Nexus 5
I know liquid smooth has it. There reports of bugs. Apparently some stuff has changed that makes it difficult. I'm pretty sure xthemer xposed module works on kk now.

Yes Mahdi ROM! Its the most stable and has customization

Android "L" release

Since Android announced the newest version of their platform today I figured I get the ball rolling. I know our device is nearing its end of life, a question remains....
What are the chances we see the "L" version in ROM form on our phones? Since the Developer Preview SDK is being released as well as Nexus 5&7 getting it tomorrow.
Really, Lol?
Aosp based: without a doubt.
TW based: unlikely but not for hardware reasons.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Yes PA and the others will have "L" running as soon as possible. I just installed PA 4.4.4 and its awesome!
Yes I was just curious if a rom could be made from the SDK our if they needed source code which won't be available until later this year.

So I suppose that means we won't see a "L" ROM until it officially drops and we have source code available.
Atleast I can try it on my N7 today

Correct.
Just to clarify, SDK is an acronym for "software development kit". The android L developer preview being released is not an SDK.

I was messing around with PA earlier. Looks solid. I ended up screwing it up a few times after removing apps I didn't use then ended up flashing a kernel not meant for the rom. I'll check it out again another time or tomorrow lol

Nice i cant wait to try out the new L dev release. I hope we can get it running on the S3 Soon!
Here is the L keyboard:

You must delete the stock Google keyboard (LatinIME.apk) first!
Flash in recovery
if flash does not work move apk to system/app AND move the lib file to system/lib
Personally I like the G3 keyboard way better.

there are people running it right now. just not on an s3
running slimrom 4.4.4 myself, I dont know what I'd do without slimrom, it will play a decisive roll in the next phone i get, if there's no slimrom, I won't be getting that phone.
and yes, the G3 keyboard is awesome, unless you're a swyper, the predict on the swype function is really hit an miss.

Uhh.. no...
no one has an Android L ROM, there is no source code until fall. Developers can get a minimally functional preview image for Nexus 5 or 7 and when I say minimal I mean you can see the basic interface pieces, theme, google search and keyboard and so on..
You can see a good deal of what the theme will be for the next Android release, lots of white background and flat colors, Not a big fan. Seems very Appleish to me. There is a dark version too though.
You can also see this using the development platform virtual device emulator.

you'll have to define what you think "minimally functional" is because there's people running it, calling, texting, and installing/running apps, right now, for instance: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ingress/comments/296rdk/ingress_works_on_android_l/
now I know it's not finished, and I know it's more of a beta build... but it's very functional if you ask me

New N5

Hey guys
I just got my N5 and i'm so excited right now .I come from a galaxy nexus device and i wish if someone can recommend a good setup for my new phone.
I love stock android but really don't like that white color of lollipop. What do you guys think is the best combination in terms of stability and battery life at present?

Any 5.1.1 Rom should do you well, and there are some with dark themes I believe.

AICP is a great ROM. Based on CM with a bunch of nice added features from them and other ROMs as well. It's on 5.1.1_4 (I think), and because it's CM based, it has Theme Engine, allowing for almost a complete redesign with themes.

6.0 aosp rom w sprint support

I've tried a couple AOSP-based Marshmallow ROMs and none of them have the option to update Profile and Prl for Sprint. I know by definition AOSP shouldn't have this, since it's something propietary however is there a zip out there one can flash to bring this capability? I don't know if it's possible to take whatever allows this in the Factory Image and make it an add-on for all devs to possibly offer for their ROMs. But that would be .
Every aosp ROM I've used has it. Even the one marshmallow ROM I tried.

That's stock based. AOSP based is the custom roms people build. I tried the chroma beta marshmallow rom and I couldnt even get data on sprint so i'm assuming there was an apn issue as usual. I'm waiting on Twisted Team to release their marshmallow rom because their lollipop rom worked pretty damn good on sprint.
Yea AOSP-based is what I meant.
Thanks for recommending Twisted!
I'm waiting for their M release.

People build custom ROM's based on stock and AOSP.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Update on a stock rom. The prl and profile stick. Only caveat is if you have trouble you have to flash back to stock to do it again. The only reason to have to do this is if your data stops working for some reason.

i just updated to cataclysm mm and it has the prl and profile update under more-cellular network-carrier settings. nice rom.

To be fair I think people add apks to most roms based on stock image and actually modify it very little, with the exception of cataclysm, which is heavily modded. AOSP based roms dont have Update Prl/Profile functionality by default because that comes with Sprint's proprietary software (just some additional apks) that needs to be added in.
