I'm using nexus5 too.
I did a clean flash.
Chrome is not working for me too.
Use another browser till someone finds a solution.
Meanwhile, I can't get PIE to activate or find the settings for it.
Anyone able to advise me on this?

The only method i know of at the moment is to go to immersive mode or else PIE won't be activated

Any idea on how I can do that?
The last time I used PA is on my galaxy nexus a year ago.
So many things have changed. Last I used PA is when Halo is just released. Hahaha.
Edit: I decided to google to find out more about immersive mode. Got PIE to work. But how do I change the settings for it?

As I said earlier on, I used to use PA.
PIE has its own settings, like how big is the PIE, how fast is the rotation, how fast does the info appears.
Does it still work this way now?

A little too much for me to read, and I cant find anything on PIE settings.
I only saw a couple of change logs that PIE was removed, then added back in.

Volume warning
Also after pressing "No, Ask me later or Yes" in the volume warning the phone is rebooting. Is there any possibility to get rid of this warning apart from xposed module?

I own a Nexus 5. 4.4 RC1 installed on top of Factory Image 4.4.3 with wipa data/cache etc and then Stock GAPPS for 4.4.3.
- There is a general lag here and there, it's not extremely bad but definetely not smooth as it was with 4.4. BETA7.
- Chrome FC while using quick search
- Crashes while rendering Lens Blur images with Google Camera
- Crashes in Theme/Wallpaper section
- Crashes when volume warning ignored while listening music

Not being able to make calls is indicative of you having LTE only on.

Key backlights dont turn on( i know how to fix this, but the fix docent seem to work, all values are correct in res/value/array.xml)
When you place a call phone will crash, dont worry the call will keep going, just dont hit close on the error, else the phone call will be hang up.
LTE probably docent work, i need logcats to fix it.

Phone crashing while reciving a call on Miui? follow these instrucitons.
Ether make sure to be on stock zvb(cfx has been reported to work for this too), or flash stock make sure signal/data are working properly.
only after this you may flash miui, then phone will work as it does in cm10.1

Thanks for your contribution! It's good to see more ROMs popping up. Especially MIUI.
Also, it looks like it has all the AOSP based issues. But I noticed you didn't mention anything about the camera. Does auto-focus work on this ROM?

Looks really nice!! Great work! I'll check it out tonight....:good:
ok reciving calls is working perfectly, with data wiped. i think its the gapps i linked that messup the phone app.
Thanks for this! Waiting for gps fix and media scanner fix before making it my daily driver.

Make sure you wipe everything, flash the ROM and then boot into it and do the miui setup, reboot into recovery and flash gapps and do the Google setup.

Data never connected for me. I did as the op said multiple times. Good rom though.
Edit: Got data working but couldn't get lte. Of course the call bug. And I also got the settings bug in the beginning. Besides that this baby runs smooth! Great work!!

Going to flash this first chance I get an working on hooking up the kernel on AOKP for us... Itching like crazy to try thus love some miui
ROM works pretty good for me other than a few things that maybe are normal for miui but I'm not aware of because of my first time using it. I realized just now that the browser wouldn't go into landscape mode while typing this. Also I can't seem to get the camera to focus consistently. It seems like it works every once in a while but it could have just been working on first use due to resetting a couple of times. I didn't pay close enough attention. Also, not an issue but more of a question, how do I enable root access? Faster GPS requires root but I don't know how to enable it. Thanks for the ROM and any info. Loving it so far!
Edit... I found the root access.
The system ui error , is related to the gapps i linked, i found better ones for miui to be more specific, http://en.miui.com/thread-2840-1-1.html, flash there instead.
Also i found a mayor bug sadly this will make this rom pretty useless for now, when you get data to work, everytime you receive a phone call , phonewill crash and you wont be able to pick up the call. il leave the rom online for who ever whants to try it, but this bug just ruins everything, and i did not notice it untill today, few hours after relesing it.
Great to see you developing here Magic! I was just about to download when I read your last comment. Dang it I was stoked! Oh well, I'll wait because I know you will figure it out... thanks for taking on this ROM and we appreciate what you are doing! If I can help in any way let me know!:good:

sure will, iv probably figured out why that bug is happening, you see when you are in 3g, sprint cant have voice+data(on 3g only, lte does allow this) on when you recive a call, so the modem is supposed to turn of data and recive the call, but instead what miui does is ignore that and leave it on, thats why phone is crashing mostlikely, il have to talk with synergy or shellnit2 so they can help me out.
so yea i worked on miui today, and still cant get ril to works properly, even though iv implemented most of the smali from our cm10.1 telephony-common.jar to miuis's one. im really running out of ideas, tomorrow il probably try and decompile the phone apk see what i can do there. as always stay tunned.

[APP] Frozen LED - Manage your notification LED by app or by contact

Manage your LED notification light fast and easily. No more trying to guess which app or which person demands your attention with random colors.
Features:
Select color by app or by text. Your favorite contacts can have their own color no matter which app they use to contact you.
Handle missed called.
Fine tune blinking speed for each notification.
Lightweight, almost no memory and battery footprint.
This app makes use of Android's 4.3 Notification Listener and thus it must be enabled under Device Settings > Security > Notification Access. It cannot access the internet so your personal data is absolutely safe.
Thanks for giving it a look!

That's strange, you turn off the screen and it does nothing?
Maybe you have something else messing with the LED? (For example cyanogenmod has built-in led control).

Nope... Stock 4.3 ROM, Franco Kernel r183, had Light Manager installed before your app, but I uninstalled it and rebooted just to make sure nothing interfered. Any more ideas? Pulse notification light under Settings is ticked, of course. And yes, I'm turning off the screen hehehe

On another note, the app is still unreliable on stock ROMs, I made some progress towards fixing this but I have some exams at the moment and I don't have much time to work on this. I hope it works fine for the rest of you in the meanwhile.
Doesn't work on 4.3 - all stock, without root etc.
I can set it up, but when notification appears nothing happens

Wait update of application
It's a very good application ! I prefer this app to LightFlow (much complicated)
im a heavy user of lightflow... but it uses toomuch battery and ram in my opinion.
im gonna give a shot to ur app. thanks for making it free
EDIT:
the only notification i get working is missed call... messaging for example = no led on at all all and yes i turned on notification access
Running stock unrooted.
I will wait for future update.
Hope everything goes well with ur exams

Strange. Nothing really out of the ordinary. You should also check through the list of apps in the settings app. Sometimes things can get reinstalled that wouldn't show up necessarily in the app drawer.

Yeah, for some reason I go to long press to select something and nothing happens, then if I let go, it just opens the app that I am long pressing on.
There is a setting in the Pixel Launcher that I found for it. Pixel settings - Suggestions - Overview selection. This was/is toggled on and it still is not working. I tried to toggle it off and back on again, no luck.
Very strange. I toggled it off and on and the option works for both. The obvious restarting your phone doesn't do anything?

No. I even tried toggling off, rebooting. Toggling on, rebooting....no luck.
Unless someone else has any other ideas, I will probably factory reset to see if that fixes it, which I am sure it will. DP4 is around the corner though, so I may just wait.
Yeah might as well wait for DP4 first at least.

Glad you guys reported it as well. I thought it was just me...
Missing here as well...
Would like to add that this was not fixed with the DP4 OTA. I am still unable to select text or share anything.
Hi, fresh install of DP5, selection feature in recents don't work.
Still working for me with DP5.

it only works if your system language is set to English US. google as usual being an a** by bringing features to US first.

Gboard on Android P DP builds - synch learned words missing

I'm not sure which build it started in (I think it was there in DP2) but in DP3 and now also DP4 with my P2XL I don't have the option available to me in Gboard settings to synch learned words. I have the same version of Gboard installed on my OP3T running OOS 5.0.3 and the option is there. Is this consistent with other users or do I have a problem with my device? I don't know if it's psychosomatic or not but it seems like the suggestions surfaced by Gboard are of less value on my P2XL than they are on my OP3T and I'd like to attribute this to the fact that I can't synch learned words. TIA everyone.

Damn, inconsistent bugs like this are the worst. So hard to isolate and fix.
What does it look like for you? Blank? Greyed out?

It's just not there. I have the settings page for the Dictionary but the part about syncing with my gmail account is completely missing.
So yesterday I opted out of the Android P beta program, installed the rollback OTA via the automated tool and set up my phone from scratch. The option to sync my Gboard dictionary with my Gmail account is still just not there. Maybe I should call Google support now that my phone is running Oreo again.
Just upgraded to Pie and issue is still prevalent. I'm on Gboard beta and I tried uninstalling and trying different apks to no avail. This is very frustrating as typing sucks as all my synced shortcuts are not there
Has anyone reported that to Google? I have seen this on a few AOSP Roms that this Option is completely missing. Most people wont even notice but it just sucks to not have the words you saved before.

I tried while still in the beta program and support wouldn't talk to me. I've gotten the official OTA and have since done a factory reset and the problem is still here for me, now I can hit up Pixel support again now that I am not running a beta OS.

When I get the time I will try to update to P and report back. Maybe it's somehow Account related. They had that problem a few times with GPhotos I remember, that some things just wouldn't work for certain people.

Yeah it's still there or maybe I just have some crazy bad luck but it sucks why this is the case.

I think I agree, this may be an account issue. I just set up my old OPO with LineageOS 15.1 and I have the same problem there. I wonder what Google can even do about this? I hope I don't have to make a new account to get this functionality back.
I don't think so. The biggest problem will be to bring it to their attention to actively keep them looking into this matter.
As a sidenote, I just Dirty flashed Pie on top of Oreo and still have the Option. I hope the get this fixed for you guys :/
Looks like this version of Gboard brings this option back as per this thread .

This is indeed a lazy oversight on Googles Part. I remember the same thing happened with Google Photos. Remember the Option to have a floating Bubble on the Screen when you had taken a Photo with the GCamera? That was missing somehow after updating the App, going back to an older APK, activating the option and then update the App would make the option stick.
After official Pie was released, I still have the option just fine. [emoji53]
