Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Let's me just start off by saying you are doing a wonderful job! Thanks a million! Having been an faithful user of the N900, Sailfish on the Nexus 5 has been a revelation. :)

I originally followed RealJohnGalt's instructions to install 2.0.1.11 on a clean CM 12.1, however, without sfdroid and gapps. Everything was working perfectly.

Then I upgraded to version 2.0.5.6 following minimec's howto in #366. The result is great with one smallish problem. The sensors stop working after a while (no values being displayed at all in AIDA64). A simple reboot does NOT seem (!) to fix this. However, reflashing sensorsfix3.zip mostly helps, though not always.

Do you have any suggestions as how to remedy this situation?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Guys, I would like to install a custom android rom to use some features i miss on sailfish (Here maps for example).
I'm using multirom, how I can install the new rom and delete the original one?
What's a light rom without google apps you suggest me?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

About the sensors failing in 2.0.5.6:

As far as I could determine, it's not the reflashing of sensorsfix3.zip that does the trick. That may just have been coinicidental.

BTW, the files from sensorsfix3.zip are all on the device located under the /system directory as you would expect (owner root.root, 644). I looked at this while the sensors were inoperable. Filedate is set to Aug 1 2008, which does not correspond to the date set within the zip archive. So, presumably that was the system time during the installation process.

What brought the sensors back this morning was a push-off-button-for-10s reboot.

Am I actually the only one experiencing this weird problem? :eek:

Let's just say, once one has recorded a Christmassy video sideways, one is reminded of the validity of working sensors. :cool:

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Nope, the sensors service sometimes crashes or does not start on boot, just restart it with
and everything should be fine.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

guys i've done a mess!
I installed an android rom and now sailfish doesn't start anymore!
Here is the black screen :mad:

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

i would like to recover my data at least, how i can export the partition in recovery mode? someone can help me?

edit: i found the nemo folder after hours, enabled MTP in Recovery and now i'm copying all my files..

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Is SFOS your primary rom?

If not you could flash one of my or minimecs kernels and see if it boots again.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

it's not. I tried with the flash of the kernel but nothing changed.
I have my personal data, now i will do a complete format and a clean install

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

You might want to share where you found the Sailfish folder. I don't remember exactly where it is and I just flashed CM13 back on the phone just to see how the battery behaves.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

it was in multirom/sailfish/ and then a hidden folder beginning with a dot. Now i wiped all the data and i can't give you the full path.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

latest from my side: now i have cm 14 as internal rom and sailfish with multirom. CM boots, sailfish not and requires kernel with kexec-hardboot. What should i do? If a flash a kernel with kexec-hardboot Sailfish works, but android no more...

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Wait until theres a cm14 kernel with kexec patch available or compile it yourself. Or do not use cm14 as primary rom.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

ok, now with CM13 everything works! Now i try to update sailfish

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Tried to update to 2.0.4.13, mine stopped at jolla-developer-mode
...now Sailfish doesn't boot anymore

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Even though the lipstick GUI does not start, doesn't mean that the system failed to boot. If you enabled the 'ssh' connection, you might be able to login to the phone.

I would then try to enable the 'adaptation0' repository again and refresh the database.

Then try the following:
Sync and reboot the phone.
I hope that this works. I will update the upgrade procedure with additional notes about upgrade problems.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

You should leave the upgrade running for about 2-3hours, it sometimrs hangs at a package for quite a long time.Or like RealJohnGalt wrote, a good idea is to run it over night.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

it stucks on the google logo on boot, trying to boot the system, black screen and so on in a loop. I left the phone doing the update for more than 2 hours, at 84% with the developer mode package i've done ctrl+c, sync and reboot.
I will reflash Sailfish, too many times in only few days!

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

If it is stuck at boot why don't you ssh into the device and finish the upgrade?

I reinstalled and upgraded the systems many times on my first try...after a few days i realized i was missing the adaptation0 repo :D

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I can ssh when the phone is on and connected to my Local network, how I can do that without booting the operating system? Through usb? I'm on windows and I use Putty.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

If the wifi was on, you could try to connect to it via wifi when you get stuck at boot.

If this does not work, connect it via USB and you should connect to 192.168.2.15.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

A minor update, fixed thee OOM errors on startup, so gui starts normaly now. Wifi also now works. Next step is to get cellular working...i'll keep you updated.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Maybe i found the problem, the command can't enable "adaptation0",
tried as user and as root with same result.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Which command did you use?

?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I used that code from minimec, i will try with this one, thank you!

edit: works!

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

a question about sfdroid: how actually i close it? i noticed only now, that even if I close it as a normal app (swype down) i receive vibration notification (new messages) from whatsapp inside Sailfish

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Before closing sfdroid you could use a app like Greenify to put the apps into sleep mode. I think you could kill sfdroid by killing the surfaceflinger process, but then you'll have the long start time when you open sfdroid again.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I am facing the very same problem, albeit using SFOS 2.0.5.6/CM 12.1 on the Nexus 5.

I changed the settings persist.audio.handset.mic.type to analog and also persist.audio.dualmic.config to false (and rebooted the phone), which did not make a difference (at least to people on the other end of the phone call). Elsewhere it was suggested to switch persist.audio.dualmic.config back to endfire, still no difference. :(

However, there is a problem I find a lot more grave. When I connect the Nexus 5/SFOS to a bluetooth handfree device, I am unable to understand the other person since the audio I get is completely distorted (sounds like lots of static). On the plus side, the person on the other end can hear me perfectly (which unfortunately does not help much). I came across Android sources on the web pointing to the persist.audio.fluence.* settings in the /system/build.prop. Yet, those pieces of advice were confusing and contradictory. :confused: Thus, I'd love to find out how you handle those phone audio issues on your Nexus 5 phones?

Does anyone get clear audio both ways, preferably also with handsfree devices?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Nope I got the exact same problem and thought the phone might have a problem so I flashed CM13 on it and used it for a few days and the bluetooth works perfectly. I will flash sailfish back on it later at some point.
Also wanted to say I bought a new LG battery produced in 2016.6 and that makes a huge difference in uptime, using Android of course, don't know yet about sailfish...

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Could you give us your current persist.audio.fluence.* settings in the /system/build.prop file? I'd like to compare them.

BTW, when you say Bluetooth, you're speaking of the hands-free protocol used during phone calls, aren't you? Sorry, just want to be sure.

As for the battery, that's a thought I've been contemplating as well. How much of a struggle was it to get the old battery removed?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Here come the list, doing this on the phone so no bothering taking out stuff...
more build.prop | grep persist
persist.sys.dun.override=0
persist.sys.root_access=0
persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=true
persist.debug.sensors.hal=w
persist.radio.apm_sim_not_pwdn=1
persist.radio.mode_pref_nv10=1
persist.radio.data_no_toggle=1
persist.audio.handset.mic.type=digital
persist.audio.dualmic.config=endfire
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
persist.audio.fluence.voicecomm=true
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false
persist.radio.custom_ecc=1
persist.radio.always_send_plmn=true
persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib.2=libart.so

Bluetooth as in connecting the phone to the car's audio to hear music and make and receive phone calls, so yes hands-free as you mean it.

As for the battery, it must have taken 10 to 15 minutes to open the phone and replace the battery. I used this guide from the iFixit website and used their tools that I bought years ago. They now have a European shop and a new version of my tools box here.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Thanks a million for your quick and detailed reply. As it turns out the fluence settings are exactly the same with SFOS/CM12.1. Too bad, I was hoping for some helpful inspiration from that file.

Also kudos for your encouraging report on changing the battery. How great is the risk to damage the connections to the antennae? AFAIK those are located on the back shell?!

Now let's hope someone can tell us how to reliably eleminate the echo and how to establish a BT hands-free connection without "static"...

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

The current ported phone to use seems to be the OnePlus X, the devs actively work on it and it seems to have all the HW functioning as well as the Jolla store...

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Except it doesn't havr the one killer feature which Nexus5 has, wireless charging.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

The Jolla store works on OPX now? Interesting.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

To be quite honest, that sounds rather depressing to me, because even during these few days I've grown quite attached to my SFOS/Nexus 5. One Plus X devices are rather expensive and even more difficult to purchase.

The fact that also Android users seemed to suffer from the same audio problems may be reason for hope. After all, apparently those problem have been overcome on the Nexus 5. So, SFOS based on CM13 or CM14.1 might just do the trick. So, I can't wait for more exciting news on that front. :-)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

@dubliner, don't get depressed yet ...

As mentioned earlier on this thread, we had similar issues on nexus 4 SFOS (and ubuntu touch on N4). See http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=219 on how to check whether you have the same bug. More description is at http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=223

To test whether the changes in build.prop are indeed working, use logcat as described at https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...&postcount=441 . Make sure that when you make the changes to noise-canceling mic do take an effect and you get the microphone as an expected one in logcat. That way you could actually test whether the microphone that you use during a call is analog (handset-mic) or digital (...dmic...).

On OPX, the hands-free (corrected) required (for @kimmoli) an analog microphone. See issue https://github.com/kimmoli/sfos-onyx-issues/issues/2 . We also had conflicting results with kimmoli regarding the use of noise-canceling mic, maybe due to differences in OPX hardware (mine works perfectly in noise-canceling mode). Maybe something similar is with N5 with possible hardware issues, but I would suggest to test it using logcat and find the best settings for you.

cheers,

rinigus

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

That's pretty stellar news, @mautz. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

@rinigus, Thank you so much for all your assistance and for compiling those helpful links.

getprop persist.audio.fluence.voicecall gives me an empty line, so it's probably the same bug. Do I get this right? Whatever I put into the build.prop file is not going to make it into the system.

You made that suggestion in November. I wonder, has anyone tried?

Unfortunately, I haven't quite figured out how to use logcat (sorry).
