[Q] Nexus 5 development.... - General SlimRoms Discussion

Just wondering if the SlimLP 5.1 development of the Nexus 5 rom is still going on?
All appears quiet in the main forum and am just looking for an update.

I'm not saying I know anything.
But I do know what I see...
That being a Lack of any NEW or UPDATED rom in quite some time. I believe it was posted in early December that weeklies and officials were coming soon. It's now almost the middle of April.
FYI, its been a week since your post...still nothing new.
I'll be one of the first to congratulate you and your team when a new official build comes out. Your product is good, I like it a lot, it's just the continued excuses and delays that make the whole thing look bad.

Unfortunately the issues with the N5 version of SlimLP persist.
For those looking for a very comparable, updated ROM, check out the ROM team Chroma has under development in the XDA N5 development page.

[Q] Stability of CM10?

I was running CM10 back in the day when it was not yet officially hosted by the CM team and I I went back to stock since there were a couple issues with the video recorder and other things. I see now that CM10 is officially being hosted by the CM team but they are still nightly, but I still would like to give it another go around. I was just wondering if there what are the major issues with the ROM right now (if any)?
The first posts don't really tell much except "it's a major work in progress" and the official change log might as well be gibberish to me, and I'm definitely not about to go through all 500+ pages, so if someone would give me a brief summary of what is/isn't working it would be much appreciated!

Its definitely daily driver ready. Just some wake locks making it not have as good battery life as sense. But everything else works great. The build bot has been broken since 10/12 so when the next official nightly comes out, it should have a bunch of new things... Maybe new kernel?

Sweet, I might just have to flash it again since I usually have a charger handy with me so battery life isn't a huge a concern. I'm sort of confused by what you mean about the next official nightly... I thought nightlys were released every... well night?

The night lies have been down because some changes were made to the code upstream that causes the Evita build to fail. They're working on the kernel fixes to get the night lies to compile again but apparently its very involved.

There was an experimental one posted today
my wifi doesn't crap out on the experimental nightly which was my only issue with 10/12
One should always read at min the last 10 pages of a thread of a Rom you might flash, an really it's expected of anyone.

Just a heads up dont know if anyone else is having this problem.
I rooted my 2.2 with the new 2.2 root instructions and downloaded the latest (10/25:experimental[cm-10-20121025-EXPERIMENTAL-evita.zip ]) cm10 build, everything works great, even wifi, except MOBILE data. I'm on straight talk, and man im getting slow speeds, nothing changed to APN, i think its a radio problem. anyone got any suggestions? I attached the radio link, which radio should i flash?

[CM] won't officially support!

CM is not too keen on Bumping their nightlies etc.....

thecubed's response
thecubed said:
Hi there, Let's be a bit careful about calling Cyanogen stupid here for this. I'll be 100% honest and say I understand their apprehension to having a device (their buildboxes) make external calls to a web service they don't control.
Can't say I blame them for saying no, either.
That said, it does indeed look like for the time being there will only be Unofficial builds available, which isn't a big deal. I'm happy to set up nightlies on my buildboxes too.
I'm hoping @invisiblek hasn't abandoned the project either, as he's extremely talented when it comes to getting this stuff working.

Wow..
Not gonna go read the entire Bump! thread right now, but wasn't Codefire thinking of making the process (meaning, I guess, the code) available to developers so they could bump locally?
Hi guys, let's not go off and freak out over this. Discussion is still ongoing, and even if CM doesn't decide to officially build for this phone, we still can have builds done externally by anyone who wants to do so.
Bump has an API that anyone can use as long as they have an account, so there's no reason to be upset.
Keep calm and carry on
Darn that's a bit disappointing. But I'm perfectly fine with anything; official or unofficial as long as it works.
I hope to build Pac for d850 soon! Sucks cm takes this kind of approach to it.

What I think is retarded is that Brint has no reason for not doing it. He's literally being a nazi-like figure just blocking it because he doesn't like it. I'm sorry, how does this make any sense? The worst that would happen is that the bump service (external site) goes down and the build fails. Brint, get over your ego...
CM keeps going down hill with stupid mistakes (like this). First with the One+ One; you gotta be invited to buy a phone? wtf? The hardware is already second grade at this point, who wants a One+ now when you get an N6?
I'll be happy with a solid AOKP rom or a pure Google Lollipop build with xposed/gravitybox
I'll wait to see how this plays out. Hopefully CM will become comfortable with the bump process. I can understand the initial hesitation since it requires something that they cannot control. If they end up not supporting it, honestly it will be CMs loss. The G3 is a very popular phone and there will be plenty of ROM choices out there. So if CM doesn't support it, I'll still have lots of options (and I'm sure someone will unofficially support it too).
Yeah that's really a load of crap especially seeing how Dan already had the script ready to autobump. It's not like it's really that much more work on cyanogenmods part or was Brent just too pansy to have a call out to another server.
I guess we will all have to annoyingly go download and update manually from the forums unless lg actually decides to release a legit boot unlock.
Yeah, I don't really get it!
Hmm, so it seems there be some sort of process they can use still. Keep your hopes up guys
Care to elaborate?
Regardless we will have unofficial with the devs (probably timmytim)pulling commits and upgrading it just as good.

Is official CM12S still coming in Jan / Feb ?

A Few months ago, OPO and Cyanogen, said 90 days after the official Lollipop release from Google, the OnePlus One OS would get the big Lollipop date. So that puts it end of Jan / early Feb. But is that still on track of happening ?
But...with the all the news lately of Cyanogen and OPO not getting along, and the whole India deal, etc...
What will OPO official release as far as the Lollipop update ? Will there still be a CM12S made specific for the OnePlus by Cyanogen ? Or will OPO just release their in house Lollipop ROM they made themselves without CM ?
The last I read, there is a big update coming in January, which would presumably be CM12S Lollipop. OnePlus also has announced that they are on the verge of releasing their own, house built ROM, so it's possible that is also coming in that time frame.

There's not much point in asking that here, nobody here can answer the question properly. Plus, even if CM were reading here, they don't respond to requests for ETA's.

Not really asking for an ETA. I know they both said 90 days after Lollipop code release.
But my question is more about if it will even come at all now ? Due to the rocky relationship between OPO + Cyanogen.

Yeah but unfortunately the answer remains the same; nobody here knows, we can only speculate. The only people who know are CM, and they won't comment on it. There's the "big" update coming in January but I'm not putting any money on it being 5.0, they haven't even hinted to that.
As with everything when it comes to ROMs/Kernels/OTAs... no one knows and employees don't release release dates because then they'll feel pressured that they'll NEED to have it done.
Would you rather have a rushed release with bugs causing your phone not to work properly? Especially if its a person who does not involve themselves with rooting/flashing?
Or would you rather have a release where it works and is tested thoroughly.
If you can't wait, try a Lollipop ROM. If you want to stay as close to stock as possible, flash CM12.
I am not asking for a specific CM12S release date.
This thread is more about asking if there will even be a CM12S released period, ever ? With all the recent bad press between OPO and Cyanogen. I am worried there might not ever be an official OnePlus One CM12S OS release at all now in a couple months ?

That is specific to the market of India. I'm sure that oneplus and cyanogen have a contract that they need to abide by otherwise therell be lawsuits.
I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure there will be a cm12s. When? Don't know.
If you can't wait, flash cm12 unofficial. Now if we talk about the oneplus two (or whatever they plan on calling it, I wouldn't be surprised if they did abandon CyanogenMod in favor of their own rom.)

For the OnePlus One, you're darn right there will be lawsuits if we don't keep getting CM branded official updates. That was what the phone was marketed as, printed with Cyanogen branding, and I as a customer bought it for. If they abandon CM branded official upgrades, I'd be forced to kick off or join a class action lawsuit against both OnePlus and Cyanogen. I won't tolerate bait and switch.
maybe in february
They are suppose to deliver CM12s in Jan(this month) ..at least at the very end, it's the 90 days they promised us. Feb is too late as it won't be 90 days but more
Don't promise if you can't deliver, also I'd like a pure android experience as a second option, something as pure as it can get(it performs better on benches ..at least their alpha version from what I've seen)

I really don't care about benches, I prefer if it feels smooth-liquid, runs fast and not with 20fps at games and have 1000 points on antutu rather than having a sci-fi 80.000 points and be garbage

There's very little difference except CM11S has the fancy lockscreen and camera. CM11 receives nightly updates whereas CM11S received periodic updates.
Transmitted via Bacon
Yeah it confuses me why people still beg for the same product with an S attached to it as it will make things better for them. This phone is a developer type of phone for people who will try rooting and flashing. With the recent updates in CM getting closer to stable why do we care about an 11s.
Also lets be honest if we do not have all the proper working features in a nightly you cant expect to see a stable release.... At least a 12M or something has to be put out for our phones too me before we say an 12S
@Zorachus - step back and think for a second why are you asking your question. No one associated with giving you an answer will come here and give it to you. You can Google it and see whats out there and draw your own conclusion. I feel this is what others were trying to get across to you. You are asking a question that can't be answered no matter how you slice it up

Because for some people it's a matter of principle. CM stated very clearly that this device would receive official updates for two years, if the S branch is dropped they're reneging on that agreement.
Because this isn't strictly a dev phone, this is a developer-friendly phone. Not everyone wants to unlock and root their device, in fact the majority of the user base most likely don't want to. So if support is dropped then those people are left with a device that isn't receiving the updates it was promised to have, those people have a right to expect those updates.

What ROMs are you guys running these days?

I have been using OnePlus One for more than a year and have been lurking around those forums. Wanted try using my old Nexus 5 again to see how it feels coming back to a smaller screen. Seems like the community here is a little less active. Understandable since the phone is getting close to 3 years old.
What are some of the promising ROMs that the cool people here are using? Searched around a bit and there aren't any recent threads on about it.

Im running dirty unicorns as well, but if you run it be sure to flash a nice kernel like blu_spark or elemental X because the default DU kernel is kinda ****.

Still early stages, not even buildable yet
Going to bring an old thread back to life. Especially with Lineage 16.0 on its way out, do we have anyone attempting to build for this phone?
I'm not sure I've ever owned a phone with this little developer support.

No, its not official. Its a treble system image. You can probably download a more updated version at the Treble-enabled device development forum.
This thread seems to be a collection of random guesses. Is there any actual source of information on the status of an official build for the Mix 2s? Surely if someone were working on it, they would post something somewhere... Not trying at all to be demanding or complain, but I would like to know if there is a reasonable chance of a release at some point.
I have until Oct. 15 to return this device. It's an outstanding phone with a PoS operating system. Without going into a big rant about miui 10, I don't want to own a phone where text messages are unreliable using anything but xiaomi's crappy (and likely invasive) messaging app.

I broke my cardinal rule with this handset: never buy hardware based upon the promise of future software updates because they may not ever happen.
I think if it was being worked on we would have heard by now. Devs just seem disinterested in the device.

The one andyphone linked above has quite a few commits since Oct. 1 (today, even). Good sign?
Los 16.0 should come eventually. Seems like a very capable developer is working on our device right now!
There may not be any official announcement yet, but you can easily see that work to bring up LineageOS for the Mix 2S is still underway here: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_xiaomi_polaris.
The last commit to this Mix 2S-specific repository was a day ago.
