Database Develop

[Q] Why CM 7.0 alpha or beta haven't hit Nexus One and is available to other phones??

I Hope Cyanogen don't stop developing or stops giving priority to the Nexus One... I'm wondering if his priority from now on is developing, mainly, for the Nexus S....and then ported it to other phones???
Cyanogen just to let you know that is a lot of people out here thinking that the Nexus One is still one of the best phones (specification wide) than a lot of phones right now...and the Nexus S wasn't that attractive (specification wide) to switch my Nexus One either... so hope you can keep the Nexus One as one of your priorities when developing ... Thanks a lot for allllllll your contributions to the android community as well...

Patiences my friend.... Cyanogen doesn't even have a Nexus S to the best of my knowledge.... Koush made the alpha release for the Nexus S.... It will come soon, patience!!!

Search the forums... There are a few people that have built a preview release from source...

As far as i'm aware the other phones which have alphas released used the same approach as the crackflasher team i.e. compiling it themselves. Then again I could be wrong

Yeah, there is no CM7 release on any phone yet. So I don't see why there should be any whining. Compile it yourself or get one someone else compiled from the development forum.

Community development strength

You're a power user. Can the LG Nexus 5X keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the LG Nexus 5X. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Not that many ROMS or custom features yet. Nobody has bothered to see if the chipset can support USB 3 and can be hacked or fixed the low quality (at high volumes) speaker. Loving the mainstream CM and PureNexus ROMS though

Lack of Franco Kernel got me cryin

Although I don't have a Nexus 5x I have seen that the community has grown somewhat. Kernels such as elemental x are available. The fact that cm13 nightlies are available show me that custome roms are beginning to grow. One cool feature (don't remember the site) was that someone made it possible so that the nexus 5x issues sound from the top speaker as well as the bottom speaker. These hints show towards a promising future which will only expand due to it being a popular nexus phone.

The community is smaller than other phones but its solid. We have beans. Enough said lol. Cataclysm is amazing, cm13 is dope, and a few kernels. Some new dev just showed up today with that xtreme rom

Like all communities, it takes a few months to kick into high gear. I felt the same way with my M9, which I got last spring, by mid summer, there were plenty of ROMs and a few different kernels to choose from. I figured development for this phone would have advanced at a quicker pace, but the community itself doesn't seem as big as I thought it would be yet. Just give it time. The ROMs and Kernels we have available now are kickass as it is. I'm waiting for a super optimized ROM like BoostPop was on the old N5.

nexus 5x community seems more mature than nexus 5 in my opinion. Popular roms / kernels are available. That's what the end user cares about( as primary phone).

I have almost every phone available and I love the nexus 5x. It's a snappy awesome light device! Highly recommend!

OK
Thanks

What I like about the community is that despite the Nexus having a smaller user base, it's still positive and willing to help those who are not as experienced with custom roms yet.
Thanks to the help of a few very helpful users in the PureNexus thread, I was able to learn about and successfully run a custom rom, custom kernel, systemless root, and still have adaway and android pay working.
Also worth noting, systemless root has been great for allowing apps with SafetyNet (like AP) to work, and it's great to see custom rom devs include details regarding how to implement it.

Franco kernel is on here. check the Original Android Development section

support is steadily growing. Good ROMs. Cataclysm, Pure Nexus, Omni, CM, Dirty Unicorns (in development) all available. ElementalX, Franco and Phasma kernels all working well.

I would love to see AOSiP on Nexus 5X

It´s an awesome phone, well made and really good looking. Some drawbacks are battery (could be a better one for the price), the side buttons that have a horrible click and loocks really cheap and a pitty it hasn´t got . But in general it´s a nice phone good hand feeling and a great screen.

not as great as the benchmark the nexus 5 had set but much much better than the other 2015 phones!

Nexus 6P vs Note 5 for Development

Hi everyone!
I'm currently using a LG G3, and it's time to upgrade.
I've narrowed my choices down to either the Nexus 6P or the Note 5. I'm in the UK, so it would defo be easier to source a 6P but I kinda like the idea of the Note 5.
My question is though, since I do like rooting and ROMing, is the Note 5 locked down and a lot harder to ROM/mess with than the 6P. I do seem to get 'bored' of mobile phones after around 6 months and the ability to ROM and change the phone is pretty important.
So, should I think twice about the Note 5, or is it pretty open and can be ROMed pretty easily?
Cheers!

Nexus p has more development compared to note device.

Ahhhh, maybe best leaning towards a 6P then.
Cheers!

Its one thing having plenty of rom choices however
Im just coming from a nexus 6, plenty of roms but to be honest very little difference between them, tried chroma, aosip and pure nexus, but i will tell you what i always experienced, random reboots. Now first off i appreciate the time and effort all devs put in, been their done that, but to be honest i just want a device that works now and samsung has a good range of options and features. Im not sure what all the fuss was with pure stock android, Yes MM was on my device from day one but then i felt like a google beta tester for the first 6 months.
The 6p is a sweet device but i chose the note 5 as an all round package its hard to beat, however as you mention you have OCFD then yes the Nexus 6p would be a better device for your needs, if you do get the 6p, then AOSIP was the most stable for me out of the 3 main ones, either way you will be happy with the device you choose

I agree with this statement...all the nexus 6 roms are practically the same. One thing that had me doing the jazz hand for (i forgot the name) was in the original development thread that basically baked all the features I love into the STOCK rom that came with the file....otherwise, from one rom to the next was the same, just different bugs lol. I too just want a stable rom, been running the same on my note 5 for the past 4 weeks lol.
But to answer the OP, go with the 6p if you want to get your flashing on. So many things to flash, so little time lol.

hey I would like to add that the note roms are all the same
there isnt even aosp project
the best device I had in roms was The one m8 gpe .aosp and sense it was incredible I dream of the day the m10 would have a gpe version I would seel my note and get in without thinking.

I lived under the impression that Note 5 was made for productivity not for fun ) But maybe I'm wrong.

Hey op. I have to agree with he general outlook of the folks here that if it's about flashing ROMs then there really isn't a device to hold a candle to the nexus 6p.
That being said I had a oneplus one and a nexus before I got the note 5 for the same reason. Once I got over the compulsive need to flash roms kernels and the like though I have been really happy with the stable experience I've had with the note so far. Hope this helps.

Call Google for Android N on Nexus 5

Hello my fellow Nexus 5 owners, lovers, we gather here for one request: Android N official for Nexus 5. There are many rumors that Marshmallow will be the last official Android version for Nexus 5. Marshmallow has been out for a while but the major release of Android N comes to fast. Nexus 5 in my opinion is still, the best Nexus phone. I'm not calling for lifetime support, only this version. Google gave us nearly no time enjoying official support, and immediately they take it from us. With all the love of Android, I ask everyone, to encourage Google to make the last official Android version, for the Nexus 5.

Oh come on... Another one..
Stop with wasting your time, Google doesn't care about how much people would like to have an official Android N release for their Nexus 5. They have given us the promised support time for Android updates, they owe us nothing. We already had that guy who started a petition which is pointless because Google probably won't even see it. So quit this BS and just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best. You won't be able to make sure that Google will give the Nexus 5 just one more update, they may will or maybe not.

Google gives every Nexus device 2 years of support on average. I wouldn't call that "nearly no time enjoying official support". They're unlikely to even consider a request to update a device that reached it's EOL for major updates almost a year ago. The unofficial development community for this device continues to thrive nevertheless, so you will most likely get an unofficial N build that's more than good enough for daily use.

This device had its time, but it EOL now. It'll still have unofficial updates for a foreseeable future, but if official updates matter more, then you'll need to move to a newer device. Personally, I don't really care too much about the support because if I did, I would have bought a N5X instead of the N5 a couple months back when I had the choice.

dont worry cm and aosp will not let us down , just keep the faith

I'm going to wait and see what happens on the official updates front for Android N. Personally, I'd like to see it for the Nexus 5 but if it doesn't roll out for this phone right now, I'll probably be going to Cyanogenmod. That's what I'm running now because I cannot stand the Layers app. Prefer CM Themes to Layers.

If Google provides Android N, they will feel obliged to support it with N bug fixes. This will force support for another six months as bugs are ironed out.

Why do you need to call Google? We have used our official support time which is 2-years. Also, do we need their official support? CM is with us.

whoa!! is this correct?
did i just look at the posted kernel and image for android N for nexus 5 - hammerhead?
if this is indeed correct, maybe the nexus 5 - hammerhead will get android N then.

This was available for 2 weeks. N5 receives all the N-preview branches. Now'll be released one of two beta's, we'll see if some of source'll be available for our phones

Bad news. Developer prewiew 5 is out. N5 didn't receive it.

N4 received final LP preview when Lollipop have nearly final stage? No. We need to wait one month more.

Ok, I definitely didn't post this. Someone might have used my Nexus 5 and post this. Even though it racks up quite a conversation for you guys, don't say I'm stupid whatsoever, cus it wasn't me! If you think it IS me, that's your business, and I don't care. I'm telling the truth.

Nexus 5 and nexus 7 2013 are both dead I guarantee it. The nexus 4 and nexus 10 had enough power for marshmallow but they didn't get it. I expect the 2013 devices to get the ax this year. Gotta wonder though why everyone is so eager to hold on to the nexus 5? I mean I still have mine as an emergency backup phone but the battery life is gawd awful and camera is so mediocre compared to new phones. I'm rocking a 6p currently and it's world's ahead of the old 5!

Maybe because with the improvements to Doze and background processing, the Nexus 5's battery life would see significant improvements?

Another one saying things they know nothing about. You can't guarantee anyone what you said. You know nothing for sure like everyone else.
Yes it will be very unlikely that the nexus get's one more update but it may will happen, there is a small chance.

Oh yeah it'll get it because you know the 2012 nexuses totally got marshmallow from Google last year /sarcasm.

Goodbye Nexus 4, Hello Pixel XL

I would like to express myself. This was my 2nd Android device and Nexus device and I haven't looked back since. The best at the time of release, and was able to use it till now, even got to use Nougat on it via custom ROMs. Huge thanks to the developer who are keep making it better with the every release of new OS and porting it for it. Special thanks to @ganachoco @sykopompos @snak3ater @spezi77 and all the others too. Sorry if I forgot somebody. I wanted to buy the 6P but due to some reasons it got postponed then Google release the Pixel and I've been eyeing it for a while, the XL model because I am using N4 for a long time and need a bigger phone. My Nexus 4's performance not good, obviously it can be better with some tweaks but I left that tweaking side of me. Also battery life became poor, the camera had more noise than usual.
So that's it for me, I would like to say goodbye and thank you. See you all on the other side (Pixel forums).
RIP, Nexus 4 2013 - November 27, 2016

Hum, that's kind of sad to read -- but definitely a wise decision to move on and experience something new, try something different!
Maybe we will meet again on the Pixel (XL) forums, the sooner or later.. who knows.
Bye for now.
P.S.: Are you willing to contribute your Nexus 4? I could need an alternative device to continue developments. Please PM me. :fingers-crossed:
