I have also been using Havoc. Battery life is great and everything works well. Only thing I can't figure out is how to get the screen to auto turn on when I pick up the phone.

There's a menu in havoc settings called ambient display and you can mess around with the settings there. I don't recommend always on as my phone went from 80 percent to 46 in 2 hours.

[Q] USB Settings for screen stays on durring charging

The option for settings, applications, development, screen stays on during charging, has "left the building" in almost all current roms. I can not locate anywhere else in settings. My question is how do i get it back? flash a modem , or ist it kernal related?
I think the importance of this feature is quite obvious i.e. using NAV while driving and your screens turns off, or using the music player, etc, etc, etc.
I have tried for hours to search on this and have found nothing.
Thanks in advance!

its something samsung removed in 2.2.1......not kernel or modem related. not much you can do right now unless you or a dev want to figure out how to get that setting back
by the way, NAV doesnt shut off, regardless of that setting
your only other option is to go back to 2.2

Thanks for the quick response Pirateghost!!
maybe i can live with out it :/
I'm no dev, and it seems the devs obviously think it wasnt that big of a loss. Otherwise it would have been in the roms already LOL.

Does this mean that falshing a 2.2 kernal will not resolve this?
i.e I flash perception or pheonix then flash a 2.2 kernal.
Or would the rom have to be complete 2.2 like Cog 2.3b8
2.3b8 is the only rom i have found so far that has the option.
Thanks in advance!

This has nothing to do with the kernel. It is in the rom so if you want the feature you need to flash a complete 2.2 rom. Honestly, where are you missing it the most?

When im driving, if i want to switch a track from the music player its nice to just swype the screen, instead of having to handle the phone to turn on from sleep then unlock it. Also at least for me NAV would shut off.
Personaly every other phone i have ever had, has had a setting to keep the display on all the time or timed shut off. This is nothing new and it should be standard in my opinion.
Get this app "battery booster". This has an option to set the screen to always on too. But remember, leaving the screen on like that could cause a burn in effect.

But I don't believe a burn in effect is possible OLED type displays theres nothing that can "ghost" chemicaly or otherwise, FYI
This was a big problem however with plasma displays.
Thats why plasma production has droped over 80 percent and its way more expensive than amoled or oled.

I've seen visible image retention (which is temporary) on my Captivate's display.
Burn-in (as in burning into the glass, which is permanent) was only an issue with the earliest plasmas. Leaving a still image on a current plasma for 48 hours will give you some heavy image retention, which can be cured within 24 hours with noise/special patterns/normal usage.

[Q] New N6 adopter, some customization questions

I'm on Verizon, so I just got my Nexus 6 last week, and I've still been trying to get it looking and feeling like I want it to. I already unlocked and rooted it. I'm working on getting Light Flow set up, but I've been having no luck at all. I'm dealing with the finicky double-tap to wake. I know there's apps to enable the stock battery percentage, and I have done so, but what's the best way to change how the status bar looks? Is there even a way, besides a new ROM? I know Xposed isn't available/stable for 5.1 yet. The percentage is so hard to read like this, it's making me miss my Note.
The battery seems a little iffy so far, so I've been keeping an eye on it. Wakelock Detector was is telling me "Proximity Sensor Manager" has been running almost constantly. Not sure what that is exactly. Any advice or help with these or other issues from those who have had it for a long time? I'd love the help. Thanks!
I also just spent 3 or 4 hours in the car with my headset on, and the battery drained by Bluetooth says 37%. Is that normal?? Seems like an awful lot, especially considering I only made one call.
Google play services is the battery killer for me, often using more than the display does.
As for mods on stock 5.1 ROM, I would recommend maybe Franco kernel (love the color calibration and vibration intensity adjustment) and the MoDaCo modpack for some nice customizations like percentage battery and center clock just to name a few.
Sent from my Nexus 6
Is there a reason for the service to be using that much? That's kind of annoying. :-|
I've flashed ROMs before, but I'm fairly noob-ish when it comes to the rest. I'm on stock 5.1, but just unlocked and rooted, so what would I need to do to flash a kernel or a modpack? What are the pros/cons of doing so? The modpack sounds like it has a good chunk of what I'm looking for. Thanks for your response!
Well, with Franco kernel you just install his app and it will install it directly from within the app itself . . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel.free
That is the free version of his app kernel app. It basically just does that. For all the extras his kernel does, you need to buy his paid app I believe. I am sure there are other ways to access them, but his app is worth the few bucks it costs . . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel
As for the mod pack, you would start with installing a custom recovery. If you don't know how to do that, easiest way is download the app flashify, which will download and install twrp recovery quite easily.
The mod pack is even easier, download the 5.1 version from here . . http://www.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/mcr-modpack-for-the-nexus-5-6-and-9-r11-r1437 . . and flash in recovery. Would highly recommend creating a twrp nandroid backup before proceeding at all so you can easily fever everything you will be doing.
Sent from my Nexus 6
Awesome! Thanks for the links. For the modpack...it says near the bottom "Ensure your device is running STOCK LRX22C - use on any other ROM version will make bad things happen!". My Nexus 6 is LMY47E. That doesn't even seem close. Is it compatible with all, or only a few devices, or certain ROMs? Again, thanks for the help.
The mod pack is for stock or stock based roms. And if you download the 5.1 version you will be fine. What they are saying about the 22C build is for 5.0.1 stock, the v11 for 5.1 is what you want. I myself am on the 47E build and it works perfect.

Its probably finicky for you because Nexus 6 **DOES NOT HAVE** double-tap to wake. It has SHAKE to wake.
Which deactivates under certain conditions, like it woke from being shaken within a few seconds of this attempt without being fully brought to wake (by touching the screen). Or because the proximity sensor registers a "near" event (i.e., it thinks its in your pocket).
I know there's apps to enable the stock battery percentage, and I have done so, but what's the best way to change how the status bar looks? Is there even a way, besides a new ROM?

Why do you need to know that precisely how many "percent" the battery is at? Even if you think you know the "actual percent", you realize that it is only accurate to within about 15%? Its a rough guess no matter how you look at it. If the little battery icon is right up to the top, its full. If its close to the bottom and red, its time to charge. If its somewhere in between, its still ok.
The battery seems a little iffy so far, so I've been keeping an eye on it. Wakelock Detector was is telling me "Proximity Sensor Manager" has been running almost constantly.

Some crap that you installed. Uninstall it and your battery will last more normal.
Battery on this device is excellent. Low/mid use can run for THREE DAYS on a charge.

OK, for light flow to work you need the paid version. Once you have that go to settings/Device Settings and root, and check direct mode, root mode and run every command as root (you'll want to disable notifactions in supersu for this app or you'll get constant pop ups saying lie flow has been granted permissions)
Now go to notifications settings and, for each app you want the notification light, got to settings, the light tab and enable the light, scroll down and enable the mixer, check app controlled flash, select the color mix you want and for each color set the state to solid and whatever brightness level.
That should get your light working. You might want to check the "exclude from sleep mode" under each app as well.
The light works just the flash rate is somewhat random.

I am definitely interested, but I sadly burned myself out on ROMs during my Galaxy Nexus days. Having to constantly redo settings and update nightlies and all that stuff got draining after a while. I'm really looking to just modify stock in whatever small ways I'm able to, which as of tonight has been awesome. More battery life would be helpful though. :-/

Does anyone have any suggestions for messing with the vibration settings? The vibration on my phone is so violently loud that I sometimes would prefer the notification noise over it. Not to mention that I normally love haptic feedback when I type, but on the N6 it just sounds ludicrous, like I'm literally typing on a mechanical keyboard. Will any of the kernels let me adjust intensity? I heard somewhere that Franco kernel does, but it was never confirmed. The way my Galaxy Tab S feels when I type is phenomenal...I wish I could figure out what it's set to and have everything set that way.

As far as the proximity sensor being active, my guess is that ambient display is using it

Yeah, I ended up getting it and trying it, and it's much better now, but not as smooth as I had hoped. I just set up my dad's S6 today and the tactile feel of the haptic on that thing is just...mmmmm. It seems like the motor they put in the N6 is just grossly overpowered, it even sounds weird.

Help ROMS AOSP Mi5

My mi5 does not work the phsycal buttons to go back and recent apps but the incredible thing is that when I connect my cell phone in the charger, the buttons work normally, only out of the socket it does not work the recent app buttons and back, only the home button works In any situation, remark, this only occurs in AOSP roms, do you have any solution?

Best Nougat ROM

Hi guys,
According to you, which is the best nougat ROM now for daily use? Which the more smooth and stable? Which would you advise?
In my opinion, Resurrection Remix developers have been working very well with their ROM. The new RR 5.8.1 satisfied me a lot, but I cannot live without the theme engine/manager that the CM left behind. So now I'm on CM 13 again, waiting for news about a stock themer instead of using substratum.
Agreed. I personally don't see the problem with substratum, but RR is definitely the best!
What do you think about lineage OS? Is it still too buggy? What are the main differences between RR and CM/Lineage?
I'm vote for Mokee
I tried RR and it was unusable for me. Having like 4 reboots in less than 2 mins is not cool. Idk if I'm at fault but I clean flashed so I'm not looking back there

Last time I flashed AOSP extended I couldn't disable MPdecision or mount /system as R/W, which was pretty annoying and deal-breaking. I hope the latest releases have changed this but I'd go with lineage or RR just to be sure.
I'd still recommend RR though, for the superior optimisation and feature set
Personally,RR would be the best.
Ok, thanks to everybody!!! ?
Just another question: how does doze work on these nougat ROM? And what about battery drain and life?
Doze and battery life are totally fine as long as I don't activate screen-off hotword detection.
It lasts way longer than stock ROM for me, at least 4 hrs SOT on a full charge, not holding back on any feature (to be honest, though, I only activate location and screen-off hotword when I need them, which is when I'm moving around by bicycle or car)

hallo, in my opinion best 7.1.1 rom is XOSP, sony xperia rom, it has different design and it is not borable, because almost all 7.1.1 rom is same insade, so my vote going to this rom, just it has a few bugs, hope them will fixed soon, thanks

Which Custom Rom is the best?

Which custom rom is better as a daily driver? I rarely play games so gaming doesn't really matter, I watch youtube and browse twitter and reddit.
I'm thinking of flashing dotOS or Havoc OS, but if there's a better and more stable rom, just let me know.
Thanks
I would suggest Harukey's Syberia pie rom, an excellent choice for a daily driver, i use it with the stock kernel it originally comes with, and not rooted; zero bugs believe me. And an excellent battery life, my device's battery has gone from 97% to 66% in 2.5 days of inconsistent usage. And stanby drain is almost non-existent. Cant vouch for any other rom, had problems with Havoc, and havent tried dot os as of yet. I'm sticking with syberia for atleast a few months for now.
Here's the latest iteration:

And an excellent battery life, my device's battery has gone from 97% to 66% in 2.5 days of inconsistent usage. And stanby drain is almost non-existent. Cant vouch for any other rom, had problems with Havoc, and havent tried dot os as of yet. I'm sticking with syberia for atleast a few months for now.
Here's the latest iteration:

And I'm sorry, seems like I forgot to tell you about the only bug that I've come across, since that doesnt matter much to me. The auto brightness feature doesnt seem to work at all times, sometimes it will work, but half of the time it refuses to make an effect on the screen brightness, so be wary of that.
And btw, you could also look towards the Pixel experience rom, another great ROM for our device, and extremely smooth and bug free, and if my memory serves me right, auto brightness also works fine on it.
Here's the latest version of the PE rom:

Thank you for recommending this to me, it's really smooth (better than miui). Flashed it yesterday, autobrightness doesn't matter because I don't use it. Lawnchair was a bit glitchy, and ram management was ok, but i got 5 hours of sot from 60% to 5% which is good. Once again thanks so much for recommending me this awesome rom. I'll probably donate to the developers for their work.
Syberia +1
Havoc os with wolf hunter edition kernal
Havoc OS latest build
Pixel Experience Go rom is most stable rom ever
SyberiaOS is the best one so far! I absolutely love it.
The only thing I'd change is the default launcher, Lawnchair is indeed glitchy and I'm always scared to update because every time I had problems with this before & after the encryption so it isn't the cause.
Has anyone experienced bootloop after update? I didn't root the device, I always leave the update zip bc I every time I need to reflash again.

Which custom rom is better as a daily driver? I rarely play games so gaming doesn't really matter, I watch youtube and browse twitter and reddit.
I'm thinking of flashing dotOS or Havoc OS, but if there's a better and more stable rom, just let me know.
Thanks

How come you don't have any bugs on dotOS? I tried it twice, two different versions, I thought maybe my set up was faulty but every time I had to replace this rom with something else. It's unusable.

maybe try a clean install with the latest version?
I did and didn't restore my data. Soon after the installation I get numerous errors and hang ups. I won't try it again.

I'm testing right now the CAF ROM.
I miss so many added features from SyberiaOS (beautifully implemented One-Hand mode, scrambled lockscreen keyboard, more accessible power menu, choosing preferred overview mode, built-in status bar customiser and many more handy additions). WiFi seems a lot slower (and it is, just checked with fast.com) and it says it's been fixed on the project's offical website. Not. Loc on, BT off. No root.
I always choose smaller display size and on Pixel Experience ROM it looks less adjusted and even too small (items are too close to the edges, especially annoying on the pull-down status bar). SyberiaOS has more steps to configure this one, so "smaller" one doesn't look that small.
Except some nice touches like Product Sans and neat-looking lockscreen weather widget I don't see many advantages over SyberiaOS. I don't care about Pixel wallpapers and sounds - I always use the same wallpaper and sounds since Nokia N8 XD.
Still, the ROM feels nice, there are +2 pros just mentioned above, but they aren't a necessity, another +1 because of the recent founding in SyberiaOS (on Pixel Experience camera does include location which is a must for me, but same as SyberiaOS doesn't display Model & Maker), +1 for built-in Google apps, +1 for seamless encryption, +1 boots faster, but it may be subjective (although RAM usage is 1 GB less of what SyberiaOS uses) and possible +1 for smooth updates. We'll see.
I'll stick with it for some time and see how's it going.
@RohanHasabe8 check this out and thank you big time!

Which version do you mean, official or unofficial?
Lineage OS is the best rom . I am on LOS 15.01 oreo 8.1 rom no bugs and a lot of updates.
Also lot of privacy settings like trust. Normal drain of battery and it is official and still supported.
:good::good::good:for the devs who work hard!

In this case you have to change kernel. Try f.e. gabriel or wolf kernel.
