Maybe someone can post links to the exact posts that handle certain parts of the install, and we compile them together.

What comes to my mind right now:

what to download & where
how to install (in multirom; how to skip tutorial)
how to apply all the fixes
all required workarounds (like 4-finger touch)
how to configure undervolting (including lowest voltages known to
work)
screen wake up (lpm)
aliendalvik
anything else I might have overlooked

Many thanks for the proposal, something like this was in the pipeline. There is another thread with some useful information too:-)

As we will probably switch to cm13 within the next weeks i suggest just to wait. This might result in a new thread, wiki updates etc.

Excuse me for being blunt but could anyone explain the differences respectively advantages between cm13 and the older versions?
More stable? Faster?

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

Heureka! (Eureka)

During the weekend I started to read this years #asteroidos irc logs and while doing so porbably (almost certainly) found the solution to our longterm outstanding bluetooth-sleep-bug! Well it is 'kido', the lead developer of asteroidos, that found the solution... (See... 14:34:12 kido:holy guacamole!!)

So they had a huge problem with bluetooth-sleep on Qualcomm based SoC's... Sounds familiar? ;)

After hours, even weeks of research there was a solution in the end: Turns out that the bluetooth stack never got a sleep signal from the system and therefore never went in suspend state.

If I got his solution right, he patched a small tool they use (brcm-patchram-plus) to configure the UART/IRQ for specific Broadcom bluetooth chips.The commit can be found here. Specially have a look at lines 213-216. Looks like he even included the values needed by our beloved Nexus5!

@mautz

I really think that this is the solution to our problem. I guess we should add that 'brcm-patchram-plus' tool and start it as a service after having started the bluetooth service. Looks like they do it that way in asteroidos. https://github.com/AsteroidOS/meta-a...e3c3d4fed6bc93

The new CM13 base should be more secure and better for battery life. Maybe even faster...

Hmm... With the new base we maybe need a updated recovery, or? TWRP 2.8.x with CM13 will definitely eject an error.

Isn't the install procedure basically the same for either CM12 and CM13, so that it would just be a minor change in the docs once CM13 variant is working fine?

That is only a part of the installation routine / wiki and there is no significant change there. What about OTA, what about sfdroid ... Useful hints, kernel stuff etc

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

Probably worth mentioning that on CM12.1 with sensorsfix3.zip applied the z-axis lagging also affects rear camera in photo mode (video and front camera works smooth)

On the other hand, Cameraplus from openrepos works ok, so it must be something inside stock app that uses accelerometer.

Edit:

Fiddled with the cameraplus and it only allows to select 2Mpx in 16:9 proportions, while in system app I had 6Mpx selected, after switching to 8Mpx in 4:3 proportion even stock camera app started working ok. Weird...

But cm12 and cm13 have different kernel so it should not be the issue here?

Moreover as I understand the poor-call-quality-on-bt issue does not exist on the android cm12 or cm13 but is something to do with the combination of pulseaudio on libhybris and blutooth HSP mode.
(which is the reason that A2DP profile works without any problems)

I am using my Nexus 5 with CM13 since january instead of SFOS because of the battery drain in the latter and can confirm that BT works flawlessly in my car.

Hi to everyone, sorry for the late reply, but i am very busy at the moment...also my laptops ac adaptor got fried and my sfos sdk got corrupted. So i started from scratch yesterday and compiled a new cm13 2.1.0.10 build. I am uploading it at the moment and going to start a new thread this evening to release this build for testing. Stay tuned.
Update: Started a new thread.

I contacted 'kido' of AsteroidOS today. The 'brcm-patchram-plus' tool alone is not enough. We also need to patch 'bluesleep.c' in the kernel sources. I got some links now and will have a closer look into it. Obviously I do this on the CM12 kernel sources. I guess you use a newer kernel now with the CM13 base.

The 'BIG' patch is this one...

https://github.com/AsteroidOS/meta-d...-proc-bl.patch

Then you also have to compile 'brcm-patchram-plus' with this flag... "-DLPM_HAMMERHEAD"

I have to admit that this is far beyond my coder knowledge, but 'kido' offered his help. You will see in the patch, that in fact there are changes in multiple files of the bluetooth stack... You can always catch him in #asteroid on irc.freenode.

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

Seems like most of the patches in bluesleep.c are already included in cm12.1 kernel. Adding the rest seems easy, if it doesn't throw any build errors.

I haven't figued out how to build brcm-patchram-plus, but i only tried for a few minutes...

Thanks again!

I add a comment of the conversation I had with 'kido' on #asteroid

Code:

19:07 @ kido : ok, anyway the patch just takes a couple of minutes to write. it's just a matter of hooking the standard kernel's HCI subsystem's HCI_DEV_REG, HCI_DEV_UNREG and HCI_DEV_WRITE to a handler in bluesleep.c that reproduces what bluesleep_write_proc_lpm and bluesleep_write_proc_btwrite do on the equivalents event

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

I am still using SFOS version 2.0.5.6 based on CM 12.1. The main reason for this being the unresolved (?) video recording problems with CM 13.

However, recently it has become a little annoying to find more and more software requiring SFOS 2.1. I feel like being left behind just a little. :o

So here's the big question: Is it possible to upgrade from 2.0.5.6 to version 2.1.0.11 using the same procedure as before? If so, are there any caveats to be aware of?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

@dubliner, claustn: That is the current situation we face, right. I jumped on the CM13 train as i wanted stable bluetooth. Can't really answer the question if OTA works but if you use Multirom you can easily give it a shot by turning of device lock, making a complete copy of your productive system using a second system and 'cp -av production copy', test your copy and OTA copy.

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

Since this build us unmaintained some packages can't be build at the moment on obs. Updating could brake the system. But maybe someone who uses multirom could try ro update and report back.
But i'm pretty sure that the gui won't work due to the switch to QT5.6.

Repo status can be seen here: https://build.merproject.org/project...ing:hammerhead

I would try, but I couldn't solve any of those problems.
As far as I understand without those packages it's not possible to update, so sad.
The point is that we have two ports for the same device, each with his pros and cons. It would be great if it would be possible to merge the best of them.

I realize this is slightly off topic. Here's the thing. I'm still using the CM12.1 with SailfishOS 2.0.5.6 on the Nexus 5 (mainly because I like the video recording option).

Today the Jolla Store offered me an update to the File Browser which I (foolishly) accepted.

Now, File Browser no longer starts which leaves me a little frustrated.

How can I retrieve the old (functional) version?

If none of this version works, just install another file browser from openrepos.

Thank you so much, Mautz!!! I am truly grateful for all your help. If it wasn't for you, my mobile device experience would be quite diminished. Please, please don't ever stop working on SFOS for the Nexus 5.

Sorry for the off topic. But I just needed to get that off my chest. :-)

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

In the CM13 image there is a script to enable low-power-mode for bluetooth. I did a complete rewrite of that script and it also works in the CM12 base... See: https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...&postcount=310

I use that next generation script on the CM12 base for a long time now with no problems with my car audio system, bt-headphones and a HiFi bt-adapter.

Feel free to report problems...

Source: https://github.com/minimec/bt-sleep-monitor

#How it works... : A dbus-monitor process is listening for different dbus events in parallel:
# - Bluetooth power on/off
# - Bluetooth connections
# - Display events
# When an event is triggered the program will decide whether to enable/disable
# or temporarily disable bluetooth suspend (low power mode).
# If bluetooth is powered and in low power mode, a display event will disable suspend mode for 60 seconds ($BTACTIVE).
# In case there is no bluetooth connection after that time, suspend mode is enabled again.

This is a copy/paste instruction to implement script as systemd service in the CM12 port.

Code:

# login root console

devel-su



# Download new files and put them in place

curl -o /usr/bin/bt-sleep-monitor https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minimec/bt-sleep-monitor/master/bt-sleep-monitor



curl -o /lib/systemd/system/bt-sleep-monitor-ng.service https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minimec/bt-sleep-monitor/master/bt-sleep-monitor.service



# Make script executable

chmod +x /usr/bin/bt-sleep-monitor



# reload systemd units

systemctl daemon-reload



# Start service

systemctl enable bt-sleep-monitor-ng.service

systemctl start bt-sleep-monitor-ng.service



# Exit root console

exit
