Rom builds
Gapps:
Mini Gapps
* OpenGapps are a complete mess(no offense to its dev) and they break stuff, so if you decide to flash them regardless of what I just said, then please don't leave comments in the thread complaining about it.
SuperSU
Latest TWRP (if you don't already have it installed)
==> The installation instructions are there. Click on "Primary (Recommended)" and you'll see the file there.
Kernel Adiutor Mod
Installation instructions:
Requirements: ROM, Gapps, SuperSU
*** If you start fresh:
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Go to the "Wipe", tap on "Advanced Wipe" and can check all the boxes except for the "Internal storage" one, then simply "Swipe to Wipe"
3. Flash the ROM
4. Flash the Gapps
5. Flash SuperSU
Then reboot to system and you're done.
*** If you're upgrading / "dirty flashing":
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Go to "Advanced Wipe" and check only "Dalvik cache" and "Cache", then "Swipe to Wipe".
3. Flash the ROM
4. Flash SuperSU
4. Do another Cache + Dalvik cache wipe (OPTIONAL)
Then reboot to system.
*** If you're using a custom kernel:
1. Flash the ROM (clean or dirty flash, depending on your choice)
1' flash the Gapps (only for clean ROM installations)
2. Flash your preferred custom kernel
3. THEN flash SuperSU
And reboot to system
*** Moving between custom kernels:
* After flashing the first custom kernel, if you decide to try another one, you MUST either:
>> dirty flash the ROM before changing the kernel. OR
>> extract the "boot.img" file found inside the "...ROM...zip" and flash it in recovery.
>> Then will you be able to safely move to a different kernel.
You also must flash SuperSU AFTER the kernel, otherwise you'll lose the root previleges.

Pure Nexus, ROM for the Google Nexus 4
Contributors
dragos281993, spezi77
Source Code: https://github.com/PureNexusProject
ROM OS Version: 7.x Nougat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x
Based On: AOSP
Version Information
Status: Stable
Created 2016-07-24
Last Updated 2017-08-16
Mako exclusive changelog:
--> 17. june. 2017:
* updated to the latest June sources: android_7.1.2_r17
* everything new is the same as what the official PN builds include so check the official changelog for that.
Changelog for older builds
--> 14. may. 2017:
* updated to the latest May sources: android_7.1.2_r8
* Fix nav bar showing always on the left when the device is rotated to 270 degrees
--> Also, fix the order of the buttons so the back button always shows
on the bottom <--
* Prebuilt apps: - sort out and include: Google Dialer, Gboard and Contacts as default (fully functional now)
--> 30. april. 2017:
* Bump up to 7.1.2_r6
* Hide the "No notifications" text in the notification panel
--> When there aren't any notifications to display in the notification panel, a text saying "No notifications" appears there. The thing is, when the notification panel is empty, we already know it's because we didn't receive any notifications, so there's no need for an annoying text to tell us what we already know.
* Added 3 new Google apps: Contacts, Dialer and Messages.
--> 17. feb. 2017:
Restructure no.2
- kernel cleanup
- device tree cleanup
- "battery saver" on-off sequence that made the phone reboot ---> fixed
- battery led fixed and tweaked a bit
- battery "charging slowly" status on the lockscreen ---> fixed
- the automatic brightness for "night light" has been removed because it wasn't working
- other small visual fixes that are not yet present in the official PN builds
--> 1. feb. 2017:
- Complete restructure (but the base is the same, obviously)
- Added some apps:
*--> Camera
*--> Gallery
*--> Clock (deskclock)
- System performance improvements
- Kernel compiled with ubertc 5.4.1 cause 6.x was causing issues.
- Added back "Mpdecision" cause now there are improvements done to have it work nicely and I set it as the default "hotplug" (the standby time is fantastic with it)
- "Smartmax" gone, cause it caused system shutdowns when the phone entered deepsleep mode.
- Other kernel tweaks and improvements which give you a nice experience.
- CAMERA FIXED (Yaaay !!!)
The new restructuring thingy broke the thing that was fixed in the previous build, and that's the native "screen recording" feature.
* Use "Screen Recorder - Free No Ads" by Kimcy929, from the PlayStore and you'll have no issue.
--> 7. jan. 2017:
- Enable "NIght light" (which is fantastic when you're tired and your eyes hurt)
- Add "double-tap-to-sleep on the navbar" (couldn't wait for Nate to add it, so I added it myself)
- Native "Screen record" fixed thanks to our beloved @spezi77 (you can add an option to the Power menu for fast access)
- Maximum fling velocity reduced (there's too much stuff that has to be loaded on the screen with a single swipe, and the CPU is struggling to do that. Fewer things to load when swiping means lower impact on the CPU and a better UX fluidity)
- "Lights with screen on" feature removed (I don't see its purpose so I remove it)
- "Font size" and "Display size" removed from Settings/Accessibility as they're already in "Display" (so bye bye duplicate ! thanks to KreAch3R)
- device tree cleaned up a bit
- kernel compiled with UberTC6.x (gcc 6.1.1)
- some other kernel tweaks and improvements
* Camera WIP
* I pinpointed the led erratic behaviour source. It's caused by the "battery light" (which I didn't remove, for the time being). Turn it off if the rainbow-led-colours bother you.
--> 16. dec. 2016:
- Remove "force expanded notifications" and "smart pulldown" (because they were causing too much stutter in the notification panel)
- Remove power connect/disconnect notification support
- Disable safe headset volume
- Reduce the delay during headset removal
- Add support to manually pause/resume download
- Add download speed, remaining time, and percentage in notification
- Set "interactive" as default governor
- Tune TCP performance (based on CAF values
- Enforcing the minimum delay between notification sounds of an app
- Disable ADB authentication
Next build: -camera fix and other stuff.
NOTE:
* "Revival kernel" is now the default kernel for this ROM cause it offers a decent amount of features without the need of flashing a different kernel. Those who don't feel like doing much tweaking can simply use it as is.
* The stock values in Revival have been set to offer a balance between performance and battery life and this aspect is even more favoured by the fact that it's been compiled with UBERTC-5.4.
* The kernel behaves exactly like all the other stock kernels when it comes to moving between custom kernels. That means you can flash whichever custom kernel you prefer without any problems.
* If you're not satisfied with "Revival", you can easily flash a different kernel. Everyone has a choice.
It's recommended to use Kernel Adiutor Mod for tweaking. You can find it in the Downloads & Changelog" section in the first post.
Quick fix for "ADB - unauthorized":
First of all, you have to make the hidden folders show up (in Windows) by > checking < an option called "Show hidden items".
* In Windows 10 you can activate it like this: Go into a folder (randomly, cause it doesn't matter which one it is). and at the top of the window, search for the "View" tab and click on it. From there, on the right side, check the "Hidden files" option. This applies on a system level so that's why it doesn't matter in which folder you are when you activate it. In other Windows versions, this feature is activated differently, so Google it. On Ubuntu/Linux, right-click on a blank space inside a folder and you'll see there a "Show hidden files" option.
Now, let's get to business:
1. On you computer, navigate to C:\Users"your username"\.android (on Windows) or /Home/.android (on Ubuntu/Linux)
You'll see there 2 files, "adbkey" and adbkey.pub
2. Connect the phone to the computer (make sure you have "USB debugging" activated so you don't have to worry about it later)
3. Copy the "adbkey.pub" file to your phone. Put it in /sdcard/emulated/0 (which is the main sdcard directory, where you see all the main folders like "Pictures, "Music", etc)
4. Disconnect the phone from the computer.
5. Now on your phone, using a terminal app (I prefer "Material terminal" from the Play Store) execute these commands:
- su
- cd /storage/emulated/0
- cat adbkey.pub >> /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
Now "adb_keys" has been created in the location mentioned at the next step.
6. Using a file manager app (eg. Solid Explorer) navigate to /data/misc/adb.
7. Give permissions 666 to the "adb_keys" file (giving permissions differs from a file manager to another)
8. Connect the phone to the computer, run adb devices in the computer terminal and you'll see that adb finally works.
Some differences between Marshmallow and Nougat:
The difference is not that big but the are a few changes.
There's the new visual improvements, like the new notification panel, the way the Settings look or the "Recents panel". When it comes to actual performance, "dose" has been improved and it now works not only when the device is sitting on your table for a long period of time. Also, there's no more "app optimisation" process at boot up, after you wipe the cache partition or clean install a ROM, and that makes things considerably faster, a breeze compared to the previous version of Android. And not to forget, Nougat has a new compiler and you'll see that the apps install a little bit faster. Some apps that used to install in over a minute, now do it in half the time.
From Google developers' page:
*****> In Android 7.0, we've added a Just in Time (JIT) compiler with code profiling to ART, which lets it constantly improve the performance of Android apps as they run. The JIT compiler complements ART's current Ahead of Time (AOT) compiler and helps improve runtime performance, save storage space, and speed up app updates and system updates <*****
FAQ not needed because all the problems can be addressed directly in the thread (I'm very active as you'll see)
Downloading!
Thank you so much!
Awesome, you did it. Thanks for continuing the development of this great ROM. All the best! :good:
Glad you were able to get it working, enjoy the building process!

I agree, our Nexus ? is gonna live for a looong time. Btw @spezy77 I was using your HellSpawn with PN for some time and then switched to Revival (clean flashed&wiped everything) as I wanted less tweaks and better stability.
But 3 days ago I had a few reboots and the phone lags too often with no apparent reason, I'm going to clean flash dragos' ROM in these days and will try Revival again hoping that it was a PN problem, or a -75uV issue. If the reboot happens again I'll try to save some logs as soon as the phone boots again and post them in your thread. :good:
Random reboots and lag in general are concerned with the kernel used and not the ROM, right? So I will not post here for these problems.
Thank you @spezy77 and @dragos281993 again!

Revival is the stock kernel for PN from now on as it offers great features and stability from the start. I'm still editing this thread so I'll add info regarding that matter. Clean flash the build and use it for a while as is, or try it without UV. Revival will behave exactly like a stock kernel and you'll have to either dirty flash the ROM to flash the "boot.img" file found inside the ROM.zip, before trying a different custom kernel.

"WE" did it, my friend.
Just wondering, what version of revival is this rom running. Also great work and thanks for continuing development. People like you guys are the reason our outdated phone is still relevant.
Good job, hope you can still maintain this device

Thanks, buddy ! I definitely will. I'm gonna keep this phone for a little longer so I'll deliver PN for as long as I have it.
Thanks again for all your work. I hope we'll hear from you from time to time.

I use OpenCamera and it's really good. Maybe the frontal camera need a tweak but it's good

Try "Camera MX" or "Open Camera" as Pac-Man suggested. I personally prefer the first one cause it's got a few very nice features.

After seeing sagar321 getting 6 hours SoT, I switch too. Been using AIMROM-v2.0-20170709, which is the best build for battery savings. The latest build v2.5 is not as good for battery comparatively, although it has more rom improvements/features.
Note: Other roms I tested which is battery-friendly
CrDroid v3.4
CosmicOS v2.0
need to check with official forums for best version/build which is battery friendly
My protocol for max battery savings, using my own custom kernel, microG (without GAPPS, but with functional Play Store which you can use to install Gapps), need root:
(battery draining Google Play Services is not installed, but Google Calendar, Chrome, Drive, Gmail, Keep, Sheets work without issues
Google Play won't work, Google Photo won't sync, this is due to microG authentication issues)
- Backup all data, partitions (see my sig below)
- Boot to TWRP, wipe dalvik/cache
(optional: change Cache filesystem to F2FS)
- Flash AIMROM v2.0,
then immediately flash XDA Nanomod PATCHER v13.3 (official thread), this allows the rom to enable Signature Spoofing, which is a pre-requisite for microG. The patching could take a while.
(what this means is you can use ANY rom, including those which do not support Signature Spoofing natively, simply apply the patch
of course select those roms without any Google Apps
battery performance, compatability will differ across roms)
- reboot phone when done, setup phone networks & any other optimal settings, but do NOT create any accounts.
- boot to TWRP, flash my custom kernel v05, (official thread), reboot phone
(important note: when choosing kernels, always check the rom base (aosp or lineage), roms with same base can share the same kernel
in this context, AIMROM & OctOS roms are both lineageOS based so can use the kernel interchangeably)
- boot to TWRP, flash SuperSU or magisk v14 (official thread), reboot phone
then install Magisk Manager v5.3.0, configure Automatic Response to GRANT using Settings
Important note: if using official Xposed for Nougat, SuperSU is a better choice bcoz it works with Greenify. I could not get Greenify to work when Magisk is installed.
- boot to TWRP, flash ale5000's microG installer & google-sync-addon (just follow this excellent guide)
reboot phone, configure microG as described in the 1st post of microG guide
MUST reboot phone
- give all required permissions from Settings > Apps > 3-dot menu > Show System
calendar
calendar storage
contacts
contacts storage
google calendar sync
google contacts sync
google play store
microG services core
must reboot phone
- add new google account
go to Settings > Accounts > Google > myaccount > 3-dot menu > Sync now
verify Calendar, Contacts are syncing, wait for completion, then reboot
- launch Contacts, Calendar
verify your contacts, calendar events are intact
- launch Play Store
disable auto-update apps from Play Store Settings
install any Google Apps you need
give all required permissions for these Google Apps, from Settings > Apps > 3-dot menu > Show System
then reboot phone
sync these Google Apps, from Settings > Accounts > Google > myaccount > 3-dot menu > Sync now
must reboot, launch these Google Apps, if asked to :
Sign-in, simply choose Cancel, the app will work (especially Google Calendar)
- if using AdAway (recommended as ads strain battery & network), make sure to put mtalk.google.com on your whitelist (Your Lists, White), or else problems are likely to occur when using Google Cloud Messaging (ie Whatsapp, Google Apps etc)
at this point, Signature Spoofing, microG, Google Apps work. Most significantly, there is no battery draining Google Play Services.
the next section deals with more battery saving configuration:
- configure kernel as described here, reboot
- install ForceDoze
activate service (toggle)
Settings >
Don't disable sensors on screen off [CHECK]
Turn off while charging [UN-CHECK]
Disable motion sensing for Doze [CHECK]
Whitelist apps : add any apps which need to be ON during screen off, as ForceDoze will kick in, and put those apps to sleep
(I added Whatsapp coz I need the messages to be notified as they arrive, Chrome so my downloads will not be interrupted)
note that apps added to Whitelist will be added to Battery Optimisation as Not Optimised
- install Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings (this app satisfies 90% of my quick tiles)
reading mode/black & white/monochromacy = oreo/nougat quick settings
3g setting = Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings (Cellular data type), shortcutter (yes), tile extension (activity>mobile network>data roam settings)
battery saver = lineage, oreo/nougat quick settings
advanced power menu = Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings (Reboot)
ring mode = Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings (Ringer Mode)
camera = Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings (Camera)
- install Shortcutter
turn ON black/white screen - save battery during standby
other useful quicktiles
system tiles: B&W, power saver, ring mode
action tiles: camera, power dialog
custom tile: Activity (Phone>Mobile Network Settings 2G/3G/4G)
Tile Extension
Custom shortcut (select ETC, system profile), but note that this in not available in Oreo roms
if using LineageOS-15.0 (oreo), which don't have many quick tiles, can supplement with
(good to have)
system tiles: ambient display
auto sync
heads up
ime selector
immersive
location
mobile data
system tiles: network mode? can't seem to get it to work
action tiles: power menu, volume panel
information tiles: data usage
tiles from tile extension
shortcut: ETC. (screenshot)
- Install any other apps required, but do consider
Play Store alternatives:
F-Droid, I installed Open Camera, K-9 Mail, oandBackup, Termux
- Google Cloud Messaging > 3-dot menu > Advanced
set everything to ON/Manual: 30 minutes
(larger ping times save battery, but GCM messages may arrive late
smaller ping times drain battery, but GCM message may arrive on time
your mileage may vary, I tested 10x Whatsapp message during a 3 hour standby, all messages arrived within 1st min)
If there are issues with headphone/speakers/mic, simply install SoundAbout, set all to 'Let Media App decide"
If screen goes black during incoming phone calls,
turn on Power Notification Controls
set Phone notifications Importance to another level (Settings > Notifications > Phone)
or install & use another phone dialer
other mods I've tried
boot to twrp
flash official xposed sdk for nougat
reboot
install xposed installer
flash arise sound mod
working xposed modules
xprivacy, even though internal check error
forcedoze
amplify
boot manager
swipeback
greenify, need supersu, not magisk
gravity box does not work atm, rename original /system/framework/XposedBridge.jar, then replace with version from GravityBox, but this version causes XPrivacy to not work

Just make sure u use the right version of ROM & custom kernel for your model
If there is no custom kernel for your model, the guide still works for battery savings, just skip the kernel configuration (kernel adiutor) section.
How to improve battery life on Asus Zenfone 5Z (non-root)?
Note: These have worked for me and may not always work for you. Enable/disable based on your personal preference. Some are basic options which you may already know. I have got a max SOT of 10.5 hrs on Pie based on these settings (Single SIM, social media, video, very lite gaming (Sudoku) and minimal camera).
* At first set-up or after factory reset - set up as new device and not from backup
* Do a full charge and discharge first 3 times for a new phone and thereafter once a month
* Charge for 45 min beyond 100% for best SOT - first 10% and last 10% will give you 90 min of SOT each but avoid doing this everytime
* Recalibrate battery if required
Mobile Manager:
* Go to Auto start manager and deny unwanted apps
* Go to Clean up and clear cache/junk files (once a fortnight or after every update)
* Set Battery saving mode to Power saving and Smart switch to Super Saving during your sleep time
* Set Battery care to Scheduled charging at sleep time (this will fast charge outside scheduled time)
* Under Battery saving options turn on Clean up in suspend and Auto deny apps and Stop unnecessary apps
* Switch off Data, Bluetooth and Location when not needed
* Install 2G-3G-4G app (to easily switch modes) and stay on 2G whenever on WiFi
Settings:
* Under Apps and Notifications: Deny app permissions for various apps, choose each app and turn off background data usage and restrict background use for battery
* Disable or Uninstall unwanted apps
* Under Special app access disallow Usage Access, Notification Access, Modify system settings, Device admin apps for apps that don't need them
* Turn off vibration if not needed and keep volumes at adequate level
* Under Battery, Optimise battery for all apps and Turn on adaptive battery
* Long press on Location and turn off wifi & bluetooth scanning (e.g. Ola app turns wifi scanning on)
