Screencast

Whenever I record with the built in screencast app from CM11S upon switching to landscape mode the video dimensions shrink like crazy. Does anyone else experience this or know of a way to change starting orientation when using screencast? I don't really want to use the paid screen recorder app from the app store that uses root permissions to achieve the same thing screencast does.

Just start Screencast in landscape mode. *While launcher in landscape mode then and open to start Screencast.
I got some problem by the way, I am using 0806 nightly, somehow Screencast just stopped recording audio.

I'm using the snapshot m9 I flashed lock screen and screencast from the themes and apps section and just installed the camera next app normally. I'm having the best battery life and the most stable experience I've had on this phone yet.

I don't mean to hijack your thread but I noticed that there is a radio included in each CM. Whats the baseband version you have?

np, and they did that for the nexus 5 as well. I think they include it by protocol so when there is a radio update everyone will get it. Also there are like three other things it tried to update starting with msm but it said all three were already up to date.

I haven't used cm in awhile but I never ever like the idea of having a radio included in the rom.
People prefer certain radios over others because it's better for them in terms of signal. So the newest radio isn't always the best.
Hehe I just wanted to see if a new radio was present. The more radios the better since we have more to go the through to obtain best signal possible

Best way to improve sound and camera quality on 4.4.4?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there is any options left to improve sound and camera quality on the Nexus 5? My hearing isn't the greatest but I can hear perfectly fine on my moms cell and other cell phones. If I could get the volume a tad higher on my Nexus 5 that would be great. Also, another problem I am having is I have Rottweiler puppies that I am trying to get pictures of. They don't like to sit still so I am always having to refocus and when I try to refocus the pictures just look like crap. Like the lighting is always messed up and stuff. Is there any way to fix this? I use to use the volume mod and camera mod which seamed to help a bit. However, I do not see any new releases for the newest android build. I had tried installing them a while back and I could not boot so I don't think they are compatible anymore. If someone could offer me some alternatives I would be very appreciative.
I got one more question as well. If I want to fully clean my internal storage before installing a custom rom what is the best way to do so? Is there anyway to remove the folders for installed programs but still keep the files there needed for rooting? I hope that makes sense. After doing a factory reset I still see folders from previously installed programs and apps.
Thanks,
Rocky

I would seriously consider installing Jishnu's Camera Fix. Make sure to grab Version 1.5. I had similar complaints not too long ago and this mod fixed most of them. Best of all, you don't have to download any new Camera apps, this mod just tweaks pre-existing files.
The download links were removed from that thread for some reason. Here's a download link to the latest version: N5_Cam_V1.5.zip

Nah, that was a typo, my mistake. Version 1.5 is the latest version and I'd definitely recommend it. Check my earlier post, I edited it with a proper download link. Just make sure to flash the zip in recovery and you should be all set!

I'm assuming it'll work with any Stock or AOSP based roms. I'm currently running CM11 M9, using the Google Camera app, and it worked beautifully.

Sweet thats exactly what i was getting ready to flash. Thanks again for all your help.

Hiya guys,
I am still having problems with the volume on my phone. In call it is very low! I have never heard it this low. I don't know what the heck happened but it seams like its even lower than normal now. I have tried viper4android but it doesn't seam like its making much of a difference. I'm not sure if it even affects in call volume or not. If any of you guys have any solutions please let me know.
Thanks,
Rocky

Tesla Rom lovers?

Just letting everybody know that their has been a Tesla ROM developed for Clark. Their is a test version only right now but its still bad ass! Go to android file host and search it. I'm sure we will see it posted to XDA sooner then later.

Great news!
I really liked their rom and used it on my Samsung Galaxy S2.
It was awesome!
But I'm already used to moto display, chop chop for flashlight And double twist for camera...
Will be hard to switch to AOSP for me ?

Chop chop and double twist are working on it. I've been running it for the last few days now, and it's my favorite ROM. The 03/12 build is better than the 03/13 build. The 03/13 build was chewing up my battery.

Nope, you have to move them manually.

I tried it for a day and it seemed very unstable and buggy. But so was Broken OS, and PureNexus. I don't know if it's my phone, or just the ROMs becoming more unstable than they were in February. I haven't found a DD yet.

Yeah :/ I had really high hopes. At times it seemed great. I wished there was a way to turn their theme from holo blue to red! I've been using black and red themes lately. I wish I could remember the specific issues I had with this one. I know Broken would be working fine, then just crash, and not power up again. Pure nexus only had 3/4 of the features working, and had all the notofication and scrolling lag that the CM ROMs have. Who knows. Could be my device.

I'm leaning toward it being your phone. Broken ran great for me as did Pure, with the exception of the music bug.

Do you mind describing how it was unstable and buggy? I need feedback in order to fix issues. It's running very well for me right now. And I'm working on porting EAS from bullhead as well

I apologize, but I can't honestly remember now. I can't remember if that was the one that would have apps close on me, or open on me without any input, or why I used the word unstable and buggy. If I say something is unstable and buggy, it typically means I had significant issues, beyond the normal one or two things that just don't work. But I unfortunately cannot remember.
I would like to note however, I noticed that restoring my apps and data with TiBu seemed to be causing some of my issues with the ROMs from that timeframe. Because I flashed the same purenexus build twice, once with restoring apps and data, and once by reinstalling everything from the play store, and noticed a huge difference. Using TiBu was much buggier, on the very same build. So it might have been that.

Link??

Restoring system data with TB can cause all sorts of weird issues. I strictly use it to restore apps/data for everything else, but not system data.
Sometimes it helps to wipe internal storage too when moving from one rom type to another (ie, stock based to aosp).
I haven't tried tesla rom yet, but may give it a shot in the future.

Thank you for all of you rom maker, you make clark more wonderful . The only hope is to the aosp based rom can support dual sim, by now only brokenrom support dualsim as I know. I tried DU , orion, purenexus and your tesla, they all not support dualsim .I m glad to help to the best of my ability like make logcat ,etc.

1. Holding recents for last app will flip to last app then open recents (not just flip to last app). I tested this over and over with same result.
2. Google maps works but I can't see streets. The GPS showed I was home but nothing else

No AOSP yet?

Kinda disappointed there's no Pixel love, any devs out there looking to make an AOSP ROM?

Honestly, is there even much reason to when stock is so good?

To my knowledge they haven't released the source code yet for AOSP to be built off of.

If you put an active Verizon sim in any pixel it will install like 3 apps. No big deal at all they can all be uninstalled but for some reason people think it's a huge deal lol

The Verizon apps are always there just deactivated. Verizon sim just lets the apps show up in your app drawer. Also the Verizon apps are always running in the background. Don't know why; I don't even have a Verizon sim in my phone but there they are.

Where are these apps?
Edit: there are no hidden disabled apps at all. They do not come installed on the phone. They get installed during setup if you have a Verizon sim card in and sign into a good account in the setup. I've had two pixels and done at least 10 factory resets and flashed full factory images. I've never had one of those apps get installed

hi,
technically, u can build a working aosp 7.1.1 Rom for the pixel now, but its still a bit rough around the edges... I've already done it a couple of times. it comes with a few caveats though, by default its setup to use google's prebuilt kernel in the build, opengapps wont install without patching aosp and the build.prop in /vendor needs to be adjusted to match the fingerprint in /system to avoid an error on boot... all of these things are trivially fixable, but pixel on aosp isn't ready for primetime yet, Imho...
the stock Rom is much much better... I think until cyanogenmod and other Roms get working builds out, idk there's any compelling reason to switch to aosp....
lastly, idk aosp builds would be as fast ot optimized, im not sure how google's internal toolchain differs; are they using sdclang? are there optimizations in art, bionics, etc that haven't hit aosp yet? etc, etc

I too am keeping an eye on the custom ROM scene. I've always preferred the "lack" of carrier bloat, etc. Being a tester for some time has taught me much. Since the demise of my last device I am forced to take a break.

Stock is really good. But I am looking forward to using substratum again.

I've been using substratum but just for theming the navbar on stock/pixel rom.... Obviously, if you try to theme systemui you will get a bootloop though (as expected. lol)... On top of that, I did also play with theming individual apps, mainly phone and google play which both worked, with the particular theme that I was using...
Theming would be nice on stock, it's too bad that google ripped out the dark theme that was in the N previews, I would have been happy with that, myself.

I think I'm most looking forward to the extra features that get baked into custom AOSP Roms and the full substratum support. I'm not a big fan CyanogenMod, but I do try them out from time to time. Always seem to go back to AOSP tho.

ya, I've contributed some patches to CM - but since getting the Pixel, I'm fairly happy with Stock. There are only a few features that I miss in CM that aren't available on the Pixel and even when I was using CM on my s5 - I always had to rip out a number of CM's features; all of the CMstats (analytics stuff), a number of their apps + adding my own keys since it is insecure (and arguably quite silly) to be using public known keys on ROMs (although, afaict - many third-party roms tend to do that.).
I'm thinking about rolling my own AOSP for Pixel -> pulling in only the features that I want, most of which I have patches for and only a few bits would need to be tracked down that I don't have. not hard to find though... Now that TWRP (RC1) can actually restore backups I can start actually looking at playing with AOSP without losing my stock rom that is already setup.

Which Custom ROM is the most "naked Google ROM"?

Hi, as several CROMs are available -is any version well known to be (nearly) a clean Google-Version, so that it appears like a Pixel?

HI! the closest rom to google is Lineage OS 16 based on android pie (9.0).

Slim ROMs. It's basically aosp
Couple it with stock or full gapps and it's pretty close to pixel

Are you actually able to get that camera app to save the slowmo videos? I can't seem to get it to actually save. It seems to be taking the video then when pressing stop it crashes and there's no video there. It does work with a 5.3 version of Google camera.
I've tried playing with some setting in the new 6.1 camera to get it to save with no luck, what setting are you using to have the slowmo videos to save?

In bsg mod settings, there is "enable g.photos". I have that checked and don't have issues. Not sure if related...

As of February 25th, Lineage 16 Pie.
Basic, with just enough customisations.

What is the consensus between Slim and LineageOS?
Looking at moving to one of these, growing bored of stock Sense.

Personally using RR. It's los but with more added in.
Slim is just that, a slimmed down version. If you don't need a whole lot and just add apps, go for that. If you like to change buttons and stuff, go los, if you want fonts and extras go RR. They each add a little onto the next.
There is obviously a lot more involved, but you get my point

LineageOS (my ROM so i'm biased):
- The only ROM driving forward development at the moment
- Has extra customisations, but definitely not as much as RR
- Is what other ROMs are usually based on
Resurrection Remix:
- device tree probably almost identical to LineageOS. Kernel is practically the same too.
- On the ROM level, it has extra layers of customisability over LineageOS
Slim:
- Very cut down as the name suggests, less "Google" and more AOSP-like right now

Just installed LineageOS and still in the middle of setting everything up, but my review do far is "wow".
I feel like I'm using a Pixel.
