not happi nao!

kernel source not up = cannot UV, etc

zImage is up, so, possible to build the boot.img (kernel partition) but can't change a thing...

even if i get that done, there is still some other source missing! the android 5.0 manifest file... without that, don't expect any (real) lollipop ROM coming out soon...

help look out for this path, if u see "android-5.0.0_r2" or "lollipop-release", we are talking...

Noob question here...so stock rom & kernel is out only cannot mod?
Just wanna try stock 1st.

Is see android-5.0.0_r2 is it?
*
kernel source is not up yet, so, no custom kernel for now. but since zImage blob (binary) is out, possible to build the stock kernel.

yesterday, even the source for the ROM is not complete, so, cannot even build the "system" / rom for nexus 4. but the manifest is out today! i m downloading the whole stuff. with this, it is now possible build the system and developer can release custom ROM fro n4 that is lollipop base.

look like n4 users will still stuck with 3.4 kernel. that's what the preview has been using. (i heard) this is actually qualcomm problem for not updating the kernel sad.gif

Nice I don't mind stock. Need to try stock 1st to see the difference between custom & stock rom.

I wonder if L preview kernel & rooting can be used on the stock L?

Finally finished compiling... (running on VM ma...)

Too bad I am not gonna flash to my n4 because:

1. Using kitkat's proprietary hardware support (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#makoktu84p)
- Most likely newer proprietary binary will be released in firmware
- Older binary should still work, but may not be prefect

2. No kernel source - only using stock kernel...

Haha...might be...focus time also greatly reduce.

Any news on stock Lollipop guys? How's your own build cowitagun

made a flash-able zip. didn't try it wink.gif coz it was built (like other lollipop rom in xda) with proprietary files from kitkat:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers

it will work but lollipop builds proprietary file should be best???

since this is my daily driver, not trying anything untested... biggrin.gif

so, wait for proprietary binary for lollipop / firmware release...

and er.. kernel source still not up...

What the new kernel version? And what advantage it has if we got new?
*
it is still 3.4 so it won't have a lot of big changes like kernel hibernation, 64-bit arm, kernel TRIM, kernel f2fs, Timerless multitasking in 3.10.

but it still has a lot of small bug fix from kitkat. changelog extracted from googlesource for nexus 5 (since nexus 4 kernel still not up). here is the complete kernel from kitkat -> lollipop changelog:

Even source code we were last also.Now they trolling us with image file , OTA & kernel source code.Google really want us to ditch N4.
Huhu....to advance for noob me.Anyway no source code no custom kernel right?
*
ya, no n4 kernel code = no custom kernel for lollipop for n4.

so, i m actually waiting for both kernel and firmware / proprietary binary...

the wait seem longer because other nexus already taste their lollipop laugh.gif

as consolation, i am enjoying all the Material Design Google Play, Map, Gmail, etc shakehead.gif

continue spamming firmware page and kernel/msm @ googlesource whistling.gif

Wee~ On lollipop stock now. Compiling the kernel and ROM, should be ready in 2 hours... will test the stock a few days before undervolting and customisation

For those who wanna root it, download this:

http://download.chainfire.eu/297/CF-Root/C...ccam-nexus4.zip

Well, basically you just need "CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4.img"

1. adb reboot bootloader
- to boot into boot loader
2. fastboot boot CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4.img
- boot into the CF auto root image
- it will patch the kernel to allow root
3. reboot

Rooted lollipop!

If you want better battery life better go for other phone.

Noob question here...if flash factory image file will I lose custom recovery?

Which is better if want to start clean? Flash flash image file or using zip file?
*
if you use the flash-all.sh, you will lose you custom recovery and data.

if u wanna keep your app and data, remember to remove "-w" from the flash-all.sh / bat.

it's easy to flash the custom recovery again after that.

alternatively, you can do it by-hand without using flash-all.sh / bat (remember to change the name accordingly):

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry64556923

for me, i always like to flash image factory image:

1. new radio!
2. keep all data/app
3. download from PC instead of OTA from phone
4. get to check the image file
5. work no matter how much modification u made to your existing phone

you know OTA won't work if you use bionic / qualcomm mod, etc

First night with my Lollipop... and the battery life is NOT GOOD!

I usually lost only 2% over night when I sleep. Last night I lost about 10%.

So, I fire up Battery Historian:

1. From you PC, download Battery Historian (its from Google)
- https://github.com/google/battery-historian
- It's a python script, meaning you need a python interpreter

2. Extract the data out from your phone
- Connect your phone to your PC via USB
- adb shell dumpsys batterystats > bat-stat.txt

3. Use Battery Historian to convert it into graphical HTML:
- python historian.py bat-stat.txt > bat-stat.html

4. Open bat-stat.html with browser...
- At some point at around 6:30am (while I was sleeping!), the GPS got switched ON! No new Top app started. I suspect this must be Google Now. It keeps On for 2 Hours...
- Yeah! I have no / little bad signal
- "phone_scanning" has been running for 10 hours! Dunno what the heck is it. Will find out.
- I got about 6 times "wifi_full_lock" every half an hour. I dunno if this is normal. Need to find out.
- My gmail tried to sync for 5 hours! Something is not right here.
- There is this "user" and "userfg" which I dunno what is it for.... need to find out.

I inspected list of "top" (mean foreground) app running, nothing unusual. I suspect it's the new OS trying to "scan" / "sync" with a lot of things after fresh installed. Will keep it running for a few more days or so to let it settle down and check the battery again.
