maemo.org - Talk - SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1

Since video recording is still not working and i haven't had the time to look at the bluetooth call problem i haven't released it yet.

Still OTA is not 100% tested, need to wait until 2.1 gets an official release.

You could use Sailfish Maps if you have access to an original Jolla device or try out PoorMaps.

Another way would be to install AlienDalvik and use the Android app of your choice. For AlienDalvik running on cm12.1 take a look at this thread, there is an installable RPM in there somewhere.

Thank you for your response!

I don't have access to original jolla device and Poormaps install fails to a dependency problem. :(
I will test that aliendalvik someday.. Thanks!

I just got Sailorgram (telegram client) working by installing beta version, found that from github.

I have little problem with keyboard. In vertical position there is empty horizontal bar in top of the keyboard ( I think that word suggestions should be there). I can't get that bar off.
I don't remember was it there before, because I was fiddling with Dolphin keyboard (I was trying to get Emojis working).
Any ideas?

Yes now you can install aliendalvik on your nexus 5. Here is my rpm
https://mega.nz/#!QMcnyJBR!JcKjXx3nY...oz9FvYvCV36TVU

also you can install gapps i made for nexus 4. It works on nexus 5 too but it has some issues it gives error that google services stop working but nothing else. Nothing crashes it just gives that warning.
Here is gapps i made for nexus 4 but as i said it works on nexus 5 too.

You should search the thread for the OTA update tutorial. Don't use the 2.0.4 image linked somewhere in this thread, some things do not work properly with this image, use the 2.0.1.11 image linked in the first post. Do not update to 2.1 versions. 2.0.5.6 is the last working one and officially released one.

You could also use one of my custom kernels and minimecs bluetooth sleep patch for some extra features and battery juice.

Even if you don't use BT, you have the problem that your phone never enters suspend mode, because of bluetooth wakelocks.

I talked about it in the past, because i installed android 7.1.1 on it. When i inserted G2s 3000 mah battery in nexus 5 i was interested on SOT. I could not find app for showing SOT on SFOS so i removed it and installed android.
I will install SFOS on this weekend and report.

P.S. it gave me ~6 hour of SOT :)

Thank you, please post the numbers after the phone was on a bit, an hour or so.

Regading SOT, wouldn't be putting the phone in demo mode using mcetool and measure the time 'by hand' enough? Never tried this. 3days with normal usage is possible.

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

The 3 days included around 3-4 hours of phone calls, writing an unknown number of sms, listening to music via cutespot for a few hours, some web browsing, checking mails etc, i can not recall it precisely.

CM13, SFOS 2.0.5.6, stock kernel, stock battery, ondemand governor. System is totally untouched. On more heavy usage i easily get 2 days out of it. Biggest improvement is the working suspend. Maybe someone can report their stats with cm12.1 and working suspend.

Regarding the release of cm13 port, i'll wait until 2.1 gets official and OTA is working correctly.

New SailfishOS user here! Yesterday I managed to install SFOS to my Nexus 5 with multirom and it's working beautifully! Thanks to you guys for your hard work!

Is there any usable navigation software available?

I'm missing also working Telegram client, I tried Jollagram but I can't login with that..

Thanks in advance!
Sami

If you need voice directions, Saera can also provide turn-by-turn navigation (ask for "Directions to <address>").

How deep sleep does the suspend put the device to; can you for example ping it over WLAN if you are attached to it and sleeping?

How about pinging the device over mobile network, will it wake up then? (assuming you have an IPv6 capable network provider that has enabled firewall-less access to devices from internet)

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

@juiceme

You don't notice any difference in usage when the device uses suspend mode. Every phone normally enters suspend mode. the Nexus5 ports kernel don't has the bluetooth sleep feature, because it caused trouble on some devices. But me and some others haven't noticed any side effects when it is enabled in the kernel, apart that there seems to be another bug that bt doesn't enter suspend mode automatically. So either you do this manually or use minimecs script, or stop the bluetooth service completely if you don't need it. To check if your device is affected by the problem just check suspend time with 'mcetool --get-suspend-stats'.

@HendriXXX

My kernel have some features like more cpu and hotplug governors, undervolting, under/overclocking of GPU and CPU and some more things that are common in many custom kernels for android.

Code:

Changelog



v1:



- Undervolting

- blu_active governor

- blu_plug hotplug governor

- simple GPU governor

- USB fastcharge v1



v2



blu_plug kernel



- added slim cpu governor

- added nightmare cpu governor

- added zzmoove governor

- added pegasusq governor

- added lionheart governor



kernel without blu_plug



- same as above, but without blu_plug hotplug governor





v3



- ConservativeX cpu governor

- bioshock cpu governor



kernel without blu_plug



- same as above, but without blu_plug hotplug governor



v4



Maybe i accidently skipped a number or it was so experimental, that it never got released ;)





v5



- Mako cpu hotplug governor

- Alucard cpu hotplug governor

- MSM Sleeper cpu hotplug governor

- Zen Decision cpu hotplug governor

- Blu_plug cpu hotplug governor can be enabled/disabled via sysfs now,

  so only one kernel build this time.

- MDSS color control

- faux wcd93xx sound control

- ARM Neon support and Neon support for some crypto algorithms



v6



- FIFO, FIOPS, SIO, TRIPNDROID, VR and ZEN I/O scheduler

- backlight dimmer option

- Westwood+ TCP congestion control 

- USB fastcharge v2

- double tap 2 wake

- Optimized build flags



v7



- CPU overclocking up to 2.9Ghz

- CPU underclocking down to 96Mhz

- Undervolt limit of 650mA lowered to 500mA

- GPU overclocked to 650Mhz

- Kernel and Ramdisk are now LZ4 compressed(should give a slightly better boot time)

- LZ4 cryptographic api added



v8



- Reverted fast charge back to first version due to slow charging

- Added msm_mpdecision aka "bricked hotplug" cpu hotplug governor



v9



- Updated wifi drivers

- Added partialresume API

- Added Powersuspend

There is also a version of v9 which has bt sleep mode enabled in kernel and could be used with minimecs bt script.

Kernels are flashed in recovery like the sensorsfix. Sadly i never wrote a complete guide on how to set up all different features in sysfs, so you have to search through this thread.

EDIT: Added the relevant posts to the changelog, so no need for searching anymore.

@mautz: Thanks for your kernel summary. So v9 is the latest and contains all the potential goodies from those before but what configuration are you recommending for good battery life and how to activate? Mine is getting worse and worse, can't handle a day anymore.

Another good idea is to undervolt(some people posted there results in this thread, so you could use their values as a starting point) and limiting the highest frequencies to 1.4 to 1.8 Ghz. You can also save power by limting the GPU to 320Mhz. If you are not interested in playing around with CPU governors just use conservative governor. And you could try out msmmpdecision hotplug governor like is described in the post where it was introduced to let your phone use only 2 cores most of the time. Setting these things up needs a little bit of time to find a good balance between battery usage and performance.

Read this post from minimec if you want to make your changes permanent: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=225

But maybe you need to replace your battery, the Nexus is a quite old phone now in terms of battery.

So, definetely worth and easy to do is get suspend mode working and use conservative cpu governor, and see if this give you some improvement.

If you don't need bluetooth, you could test this without flashing a new kernel. Disbale bluetooth with 'devel-su systemctl stop hciattach.service' and enable conservative cpu governor with ' devel-su echo conservative > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor' and see if this gives you some improvement. After a reboot everything is back to normal.

Read my finding here about aliendalvik gapps issues on base CM12.1 They are not present on CM11 base. I think we must modify aliendalvik android packages to work with CM12.1 libraries

Can i use CM11 base on SFOS 2.0.4.13 or 2.0.5.6? I am locked to SFOS 1.1.29.8

You could use msmmpdecision hotplug governor and easily configure it to only use 4 cores when the other 2 cores are on high load for a specific time.

I never used the cm11 port myself, maybe BluesLee has more information, since he started the cm11 thread.

And by the way i wasn't able to get AlienDalvik working on cm13, but i didn't look much into it. But thanks for your hard work regarding AlienDalvik :)

Aliendalvik itself is based on android 4.4.4 can it be the cause that it works good with CM11 base on both Nexus 4 and 5, but sound, camera and video playback have issues on Nexus 5 with base CM12.1.

I think if we could update aliendalvik to 5.1.1 which is CM12.1 it will work.

Could you give the output of 'ls /var/lib/connman/'.

And check if the mac address stays the same during reboots?

Updating aliendalvik will be near to impossible i would say.

You can set the mac with 'ip link set dev wlan address $MAC'. But this is only a workaround.

You could try to put this with your mac in init.hammerhead.rc for example, nd try if this works.
