@Flohack i will help out as soon as I remember to charge and flash the build onto my N5
-
I'll have an N5 available as soon as I replace its power switch... very interested to try it!
-
@Flohack I have a beloved N5. Would be happy to help test!

For further clarification: This post will only be used for alphatesting, once finished it will move to here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3614/lge-nexus-5-hammerhead - and there is also the link to the manifest if you want to try on your own

Hi, I would like to help test! How can I be effective with this? Is it simply test some functions and report back, or does it go more in depth? I'm pretty skilled with technology, but I'm not a practiced programmer. I can do troubleshooting just fine, but I will likely need guidance if I need to dig into the hows and whys.
-
@Manchee1017 Yeah basically the idea is to verify the list of things I posted. So I think feature x is working, but I need other people to confirm, and also to find maybe things I forgot.
I do not have an installable image yet, will try to fix that today eve. -

I should be able to test out the new image, I have a spare Nexus 5 laying around to play with. -
Hi @Flohack, I have repaired one of my N5 that I dropped on the floor with the screen facing down... and I would like to join this project too.
-
Ok I will be ready in a few days, unfortunately was a bit held up with other things. I let you all know
-
@Flohack Camera blitz it's working, bluetooth it's working, GPS it's working, but a bit lazy depending on app (Pure Maps it's laggy), it takes aprox. 1 min when outside to find the location. Hotspot works when he wants.
A solution to freezing camera is: when in photo mode, change to video, than probably it freeze. In these case: switch from main big camera to small selfie camera and back again. It works in my case.
Video playing: you can forgett it!
WiFi it's working, but does not connect automaticly to a saved network, usualy needs restart. -
@Flohack Camera it's filming in video mode. Android and iOs have confirmed. It's the Media player that is having issues.

@C0n57an71n How can you test my port, did you build it from my sources? I did not publish any images now ^^
-
I finished Bluetooth today by the way
-
@Flohack I don't know what you talking about! On which of the issues are you reffering?
-
@Flohack I'm talking about OTA-11, as it was until today :)))
-
@C0n57an71n Sorry to say but this thread is about the new N5 port based on Halium 7.1 and has nothing in common with the existing one - well the kernel is roughly the same ^^ so all what you said could be different for this port.
See my checklist on the beginning, those items are of course mostly working on the existing port, which is based on Android 5.1, but we want to step it up now

USB: MHL/SlimPort
There is no MHL on Nexus 5. Also, I don't see ADB listed for the USB features, though I presume it is working since you've been debugging things.
-
@dobey I am confused with all that USB extensions. I remove MHL again^^
For ADB: Thats a Halium port, they come without adb and use RNDIS/ssh instead. So thats kinda expected. @fredldotme made a point though that some Halium devices might have issues with RNDIS, so we might have to support both.
BUt as I understood the plan was to deprecate adb fully. -
I have an N5 with Ubports OTA11 RC, how can I test it?
thanks
