I see some devs tweak Kernels and all to make what they have faster, and other devs work on porting other device builds but is anyone talented enough to build a Frankenstein droid?
The leaked Sholes screen shots running 2.0 kinda seem like it will be a whole new UI experience while using the device but the GUI is all still there, can we have some fun and start making different GUI's for Android?
There's the app drawer, task bar, three screens etc etc.
Why not mix and match if we can?
The Pulse's Wizcards and 3x3 display of home screens and the pull down notfication of new messages
The Blur's happening widget
Move the notification bar to the bottom
Put the app tab only on one screen
etc?
i would like to see someone make a whole new os on these android phones so we can say f u to google, maybe a full out linux distro based of debian like moblin

I think a major thing about making a new OS would be its incompatibility with the Android market and apps, I'd like to see a new GUI working with the Android apps.
if you got it debian based than you have way more options but a new os that worked with android apps would be the ****, i would love a awesome new os with compatibility
I might have to be an asshole and post this in Android Development section to catch some devs eyes.
Ive heard it may be possible to port ubuntu's mobile os to the g1....if that can be done, the sky's the limit
GNOME or KDE port would be AWESOME!!! Would most likely run REALLLLYYYYYY slow...

Android 5.0 "Lollipop" is the latest version of the Android mobile operating system developed by Google. Unveiled on June 25, 2014 during Google I/O, it became available as official over-the-air (OTA) updates on November 12, 2014 for select devices that run distributions of Android serviced by Google, including Nexus and Google Play edition devices. Its source code was made available on November 3, 2014.
One of the most prominent changes in the Lollipop release is a redesigned user interface built around a responsive design language referred to as "material design". Other changes include improvements to the notifications, which can be accessed from the lockscreen and displayed within applications as top-of-the-screen banners. Google also made internal changes to the platform, with the Android Runtime (ART) officially replacing Dalvik for improved application performance, and with changes intended to improve and optimize battery usage, known internally as Project Volta.
QUESTIONS:
-What are you guys thinking about this new update for our phones?
-What are you thinking about new MATERIAL DESIGN?
-What about ART? (pros--cons)
-Guest user mode? Good?
-What about app compatibility?
-more soon
For now we know that
@ALEX.IMER work on CM12 for L7 (make all,but stuck on graphic module).
@Asce1062 work on CyanHacker L for L7 & L5
@aidasaidas75 Finished CM12 for L5 HERE
We have kernels which support both devices, that is good thing
For L7 there is IMER kernel which is in all his roms
For L5 there is SKernel by @skyinfo HERE
Also there is GAPPs thread by @Plamb1r and @Paget96 (me) HERE

-Next Lollipop updates-
Update 5.0.1
As of now, there is no word on what precise changes the Android 5.0.1 update brings; though we can expect the release to bring fixes to various bugs and issues reported by Android 5.0 Lollipop users in the recent few weeks. With the release of Android 5.0.1 factory images for Nexus devices, we can expect that Google will soon announce the incremental update.
Update 5.0.2
Android 5.0 is has been publicly available since early November, and the number of devices getting Google’s latest OS is growing bigger every day. In the first few weeks after its release, Google focused on stability and released quite a few update builds. Now, it’s the time for a small numerical bump, because Android 5.0.2 has just been pushed into Google’s AOSP repos.
Android 5.0.1 was rather minor update, with only a few notable changes. Android 5.0.2 is definitely bigger, but it’s still not huge. Google managed to address some issues with MountService which should now start before performBootDexOpt. This fixes a previously reported bug in the issue tracker. Some other changes related to NAND have also been pushed. Fstrim, introduced in Android 4.3, caused some serious issues on Lollipop. According to this log provided by XDA Recognized Developer cybojenix, devices turned off for the night had problems with fstrim being launched at all. Google addressed the issue and devices with slow NAND should now have a noticeable performance boost.
Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) and Nexus 7 (Mobile Data) device trees have been updated. As a result, new factory images for the Nexus 7 (2012) and updated binary files are have been pushed. As usual you can get them from the Android Developer Page. An updated device tree for tilapia is a good sign, as it’s one of two devices that haven’t received an official update already. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, signaling that Google will finally bring official Lollipop to the missing devices sooner rather than later.
If you want to build Android 5.0.2 yourself, you can update your current sources by executing the following command:
repo init -b android-5.0.2_r1 && repo sync
Update 5.0.3
A memory leak occurs when Android allocates a chunk of system memory for a task and then doesn’t release it again. This means that over time more and more memory will be allocated and none ever given back. Even with 2 or 3GB of RAM, eventually the system will run out of memory, and that is never pretty.
The thread on the issue tracker is hard to follow as there are lots of complaints and there is lots of general unhappiness, but little in the way of official comments from Google or Android developers. However it does now seem that Google has agreed that this is a bug, and that it has been fixed in the source code. What that means is that the latest source code used to build Android doesn’t leak memory. However that doesn’t actually help affected users at the moment. The next step is for Google to make a new release of Android, probably Android 5.0.3 Lollipop, with this and other bug fixes. However there is no news on when that will be. Let’s hope it will be soon.
Update 5.1
Google released Android 5.0 just over a month ago, and since then Lollipop has been trying to establish its position in the global smartphone market. Despite its many new features and overall greatness, Android 5.0 has many issues that still need to be addressed. According to our colleagues at AndroidPIT and their two internal sources, Google is working on Android 5.1, which should really come as no surprise because software progress is inevitable. We already know that Google is always looking ahead, but the interesting part is that if rumors are to be believed, we’ll see 5.1 as soon as the end of February.
This information, although plausible, could strike one as a bit odd. After all, usually Google releases one or two versions of its OS per year. But with the potential release of 5.1 right around the corner, it’s unclear as to why Google would want to roll out a new update so soon.
If AndroidPIT’s sources are to be believed, the update will allegedly bring following improvements:
-Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0
-General improvements in system stability
-Improved RAM management
-Fixes for sudden app closures
-Improved battery management
-Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed
-Issues with wireless connections fixed
-Problems with Okay Google function solved
-Notifications problems solved
-Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed
-Other improvements and changes
The to-do list is rather long, and Google will definitely address some of these problems. AndroidPIT claims that they got this news from sources close to Google and Android 5.1 will soon become a reality. We can only wait to see whether these revelations are real or not.

General discusion about KITKAT for L5 & L7
The Android 4.4 KitKat operating system uses advanced memory optimization technologies. As a result, it is available on Android devices with as little as 512 MB of RAM. This is important because previous versions of the operating system required more internal memory which made them incompatible with many older device models. This was a major cause of the problem known as Android fragmentation.
Android 4.4 KitKat features a cleaner user interface, Near Field Communication (NFC) support and always-on touch screen action buttons, which replace the need for the physical buttons found on many Android devices. KitKat also boasts an improved security-enhanced Linux module, which helps prevent unauthorized app access.
Google announced Android 4.4 KitKat in September 2013 and debuted it on the Nexus 5 smartphone the following month. For months prior to the release, observers expected the OS to be called Key Lime Pie, but Google renamed it as part of a marketing promotion with the Hershey Company, which sells a candy bar called Kit Kat in the United States.

From my experience w/ L from my aging galaxy tab 10.1 is great. Its smoother than KK.
AFAIK, @Asce1062 will make cyanhacker L. That's what he said on his thread and this will be due this DEC 20. We just hope so and wait.
For me, LS and cyanhacker will be great for L. Since this two ROMs were the smoothest of all KK I've ever flashed. Except for the last version of LS which is buggy.
So for now let's just wait and see.

Yes, I have been syncing LS trees since they had Lollipop ? before Cyanhaker. But now that will change . I will be building Cyanhaker (Which is now based off of CM 12)... The developers promised to implement the speed tweaks from LS and even improve on them. Then maybe later on I will build LS.

Hello XDA!
I was wondering if its possible to install and run the original Moto Display application on my device. My device is a Moto X 2014 (Pure Edition) running Cyanogenmod 14.1. I have tried alternatives such as DynamicNotifications, ACDisplay, and Cyanogenmod's own Ambient display, but none compared to how Moto Display feels. I've tried installing the application from the Play Store but once I open the "Display" portion of the Moto app, the app crashes and goes to the main screen. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks again and I look forward to my first XDA Thread.
Hi man!
I get that this is your first thread, but this has been discussed a million times. You'll never get Moto Display or Voice on any ROM that is not stock. They're closed source apps and there's nothing we can do about it, not even workarounds because the lads at Google are greedy bast*rds which have hijacked most of the features in Android, the most notable one being, guess what, voice control.

Thanks for your help. I am sad that its a close sourced app but I guess there's nothing I can do about it. Thanks you for assisting me in this matter.:good:
You're welcome I also used CM14 for some time until I realised that workarounds for Display weren't the same thing, that replicating Voice functionality was a lost cause, and that I needed some Xposed-related features for my job (such as disabling the proximity sensor).
I settled on stock 6.0 with N-ify and N Navbar, which do a pretty good job at making this phone feel up-to-date.
It's a setup I would suggest to anyone looking for a feature-minded compromise, even if multiwindow is absent and quick reply only works to a certain extent.
(for the direct question, see the last paragraph)
Hello,
I'm currently on the stock Oxygen OS 5.0.1 ROM, but I'm having issues with push notifications not working properly or at all in some in cases. I recently switched jobs and I now NEED to have my emails, and specifically push notifications from a specific app(its called Goshare Driver), to arrive ASAP. Currently I'm not get any notifications ever from the app I need, and Gmail notifications randomly will arrive very delayed.
I've tried the following to fix the problem, with no success:
-Making sure the apps have notifications turned on
-setting the notifications for Gmail to Urgent priority
-I tried giving the apps unrestricted data access
-setting notifications to override do not disturb/making sure do not disturb was off
-turning off battery optimization for Goshare. I can't turn it off for Gmail because all the Google apps and system apps do not appear. And the battery optimization link from Gmail app info just takes me to all the apps instead of only Gmail, but again, gmail doesn't appear
-making sure advanced battery optimization is off, it was never on
-i tried completely turning off doze from the developer options menu
-i tried wiping the cache for each app
-i tried wiping the cache from the boot menu
-i tried a full factory reset
-i tried installing an app called "push notification fixer"
-i tried going to apps > special access > notification access, but it's empty
-I tried contacting OnePlus, they don't even seem to understand what the problem is and keep wasting my time telling me to do things I already directly told them I tried
-I also tested the app on my former phone, the Nexus 5. It still has stock Marshmallow, during testing the push notifications did come thru, sometimes immediately, but usually very delayed or only after I woke up the phone. I'd also get a ton of emails at once. But the testing proved it's not the app, or at least I don't think so, because I'm not getting ANY notifications EVER on the OnePlus. My guess is either the problem is the OnePlus 3T stock ROM, or Android itself.
I've heard that some custom ROMs don't have anywhere nearly as many issues as the stock ROM. I did some research and it SEEMS like the most stable/supported ROMs are from lineage OS, OmniRom, and Paranoid android. I've been out of the rooting game for while, since the galaxy nexus, so I'm not sure which to choose. What do you guys recommend is the most stable all around, and especially for notifications, work-oriented/stable ROM for the OnePlus 3T?
I don't care if its Android Oreo or Nougat or Marshmallow, I just want/NEED the most stable, working ROM. I don't really have time to do any testing, I already wasted a lot of time with the factory reset and OnePlus support. For my work I need the calling, GPS/Google Maps, push notifications, Gmail, data to work flawlessly. If you guys can give me any recommendations for which ROM to install, or if its also a waste of time and no ROM will fix this phone/OS, please let me know. From what I've heard the app I need works just fine on the iPhone, and as much as I'd hate to switch, I kinda have no choice if push notifications won't work properly on Android. Thanks in advance.
PS. If the is the wrong forum, please let me know where is the proper place to post, thanks!
After experiencing the same issues and having the same dillema as you do I can only recommend the sultanized Resurrection Remix because it ticks all the boxes. You can find it in the cross device sub forum.
It is also the only rom that got me 4 1/2 - 5 H of SOT which is for me more than enough and if you want to push it further just try xposed with greenify and see if that works out for you. And about push notifications : during my use I didn't had any issues with receiving push notifications regardless which app (Gmail, WhatsApp, Viber,.. Etc)

Hello roadrunnerx, it sounds like the app you want to use isn't optimized for current Android versions. The notification system has been changed a lot due to doze optimizations in Nougat and Oreo... check with the app developer.
Gmail notifications on 5.0.1 should be very reliable on 5.0.1 without any changes, if not necessarily 100% instant. Are you using an actual GMail account? Or third party Exchange/POP3/IMAP?
@roadrunnerx7 recently I also have been struggling with delayed Gmail notifications, but after last app update everything works as it should, mails come fast. You can check my config in the signature; it's stable and I don't experience any hangs or force closes.
You can also try to lock apps in RAM, clicking a padlock icon in recents view, maybe it could help.

After experiencing the same issues and having the same dillema as you do I can only recommend the sultanized Resurrection Remix because it ticks all the boxes. You can find it in the cross device sub forum.
It is also the only rom that got me 4 1/2 - 5 H of SOT which is for me more than enough and if you want to push it further just try xposed with greenify and see if that works out for you. And about push notifications : during my use I didn't had any issues with receiving push notifications regardless which app (Gmail, WhatsApp, Viber,.. Etc)

What do you mean last update? Your sig says 4.5.1, I'm on 5.0.1. or are you suggesting I go back to 4.5.1?
I'll try the padlock thing.
thanks guys!
Just use Omni or Nitrogen 8.1 roms, per app LED light control, never lets me down. Both super stable roms.

Last update of Gmail app.
And yes, I suggest downgrading, imo Nougat is the best in terms of stability
