boot.img - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

are there any *custom N kernels* out there in boot.img format? I can't seem to find any. (Admittedly, my search-fu sucks).
I am running N DP5, encrypted, non-rooted, and no TWRP (obviously). Thanks!

Have you looked in the development forum? http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/orig-development/kernel-semaphore-n5x-0-1-0-t3434823

I'm guessing that after 20 hours of searching you have probably already found this, but I thought I'd post it anyway. It might take you another 20 hours to find the download. Good luck.

Tablet mode rom?

Any dev or non dev have the nous to make a tablet rom?
Maybe a AOKP rom that is tweaked so runs in tablet mode from first boot?
Really think this would be popular..

Reading is quite useful.
You aren't entitled to an answer, people help for no personal gain.
You have no right to ***** if you don't get an answer in 3 HOURS.
set screen density to 160 and next time use search before you start throwing a pissy fit.
Haha, exactly why people leave Xda, answers like the above.
I know how to Google to change density etc, just thought a tablet based rom would be good. So everything is working correctly from the start.

Exactly.
That is what is wrong with xda.
In the few years I have been using these forums people ask for more and are half as grateful.
Its sad that people aren't bothered to educate themselves and put in the effort to find out something.
I've actually been looking into doing this. I just got my first rom to compile without errors, so it might be a while... I probably won't have this finished in a timely enough manner for the op anyway

This type of conversation is not exclusive to XDA. It happens in most all forum communities including Rootzwiki. As long as people can hide behind a screen name and a keyboard they will become overly narcissistic. The anonymity allows us to be rude, impatient, and condescending without remorse.
If you are not embraced by the community to the degree you feel entitled, then perhaps you suffer from the above. So pause before you blame the community, or their gracious hosts, and consider that honey attracts more flies than vinegar.

Back in the day, and by back in the day I mean 2010, we used to have this thing called "bump"
You'd only be allowed to "bump" once a day to get your thread to the top, and hope someone notices it and responds.
Aaaah the good old days.
Sad thing is, if he went into the dev or themes section I believe he'd find what he's asking for. Not to mention there's one floating around in rootz as well

Ok maybe I was jumping the gun a bit with the quick post but i didn't think it would get answered until i posted again. So I apologise for that.
I know there are tweaks around but from what I've read there seems to be lots of incompatibility problems..
Just wondered if anyone had thought of creating a solely tablet based ROM - with everything working out of the box.

I think its more about people using this phone as their daily driver and I am not sure if tablet mode works for that.
I believe there is an easy flashible MOD for AOKP that does everything you need for tablet mode. It is just one extra flash so not horribly inconvenient.
I considered it for a moment but I asked myself what is the point really? Outside of a cool YouTube app other tablet apps could be more inconvenient due to actual screen size. Is there more to this than customizing for customazation's sake?

It would be cool if tablet mode could somehow be made toggable
Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Nexus.
This is actually pretty easy to do on your own.
1) Download AOKP BETA 28 and gapps.
2) Download AOKP BETA 28 (Tabletaokp.zip) from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20451-mod-12-roms-tablet-mode/
3) Extract files (only system folder) from Tabletaokp.zip, open AOKP BETA 28 with winrar(or whatever zip program you use) and gapps. Put the files from Tabletaokp.zip into AOKP BETA 28 zip & gapps as listed below.
3a)In AOKP BETA 28 zip Put build.prop in system folder(overwriting), put system/apps/Phone.apk in system/app folder(overwriting).
3b) In gapps zip put /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk & Phonesky.apk in system/app
4) Install new rom, gapps and have tablet mode from the start (this is actually how i do it)
Would you recommend it? Anything better or worse than phone mode? Such as tablet apps being difficult to read (like a news app), or accidentally taping the wrong icon due to the denser grid?

Ubuntu for Android Custom ROM for Galaxy Nexus

*****Moderators: please move this over to a different Galaxy Nexus ROM dev area should it apply, but please leave a link to it under this Sub-forum.
I have created what is probably the first custom Android ROM that includes the files for Ubuntu internally, alongside the existing Android architecture. While this is not really a polished release, it has the ability to crash the phone, and requires some tweaking by devs and downloaders. However, for Galaxy Nexus owners (toro for now, soon to be other GNex devices also) this ROM (Rev 2) should boot up after removing one internal zip file. Go ahead to https://sites.google...site/andrevroot for the link about the project, and/or the bottom of this post for
Some things to note:
Comment back what you think about this project, and ROM.
Please keep all comments polite and on topic.
Donate, via bitcoin if you like, as it helps support us, and help create better, more advanced ROMs.
Please look through the whole site
Don't try this ROM if you are new to custom ROMs, try Cyanogenmod ROMs first so you know what you are doing.
I take no responsibility for screwing up your device in any way.
This version is heavily based upon CM10, to the point where it should even say the General CM10 stuff under Settings>About Device. Please do not beat me up over this, it is just because I wanted to get a simple pre-release out there.
This is licensed, please read the License agreement at the footer of my site, you are bound to its terms. Its Creative Commons, but still used.
Thank You for your time, have a nice day.
Above all, do not try to update the CM firmware, as you will lose the ubuntu files contained within!!!!!!

Holy cow, dude this was awesome. I mean... me and this thing clicked instantly. As soon as it booted within 5-10 seconds I got through the lockscreen and then just started dozing through all the apps and swiping. It is a bit slow, not in particular though, probably as slow as Miui. This is just a dev preview, imagine the real thing and I didn't lose to much battery life within the span of 20 minutes. I wanted to keep this on my phone just to test but I couldn't. I'm just waiting for the real thing :victory:

Here's the link to his site which has download links to his Revisions 1 and 2. I've downloaded both and haven't had any luck getting them to flash and his website isn't very clear with instructions on how you're supposed to do so.
EDIT: It seems that he updated the link as I was typing my post. The link to revision 2 is no longer there, and the first revision is hosted on a different site. I'm going to download it and flash it and see if I have any luck.

So you tried out the ROM, how well did it work for you? Did you like it, what do you want to see changed? I am trying right now to put together a hacked SlimBean version, which is much faster and better to use. Did the Ubuntu side work?

Probably needs to be on touchwiz to work. Besides, it won't give much benefit on any non touchwiz roms because if you have a custom kernel or recovery, it will re-trip the counter each time you reboot.

Probably no one else replied because they saw mine, and since it was unanswered and not disputed, they had nothing to add. If you disagree with what I posted or think I'm wrong about needing to be run on touchwiz, then say so and it may prompt more attention.
Also, while probably ok to post it here, it might be seen by more people if you posted it in Q&A. Personally, I generally only visit T&A (lol) once or twice every few days. I imagine there's others that do the same.

[Q] [T217S]Installed CM11 and GPS now doesn't WORK

Hello All,
I have researched and researched and now i have given up. I have installed CM11 for my SM-T217S, love the rom super fast and all but one bad thing....my GPS seems not to be working properly. I use Waze for GPS and the main purpose for this tab purchase was so that i can use it as a navi.
Please note that i have installed apps to reset, restore, reconfigure the GPS but nothing seems to work. Tried re-flashing a thousand times from clean to dirty wiping. Even other apps such as TelNav and Maps won't work either.
Can someone share some light on how i can get this GPS issue resolved? :victory::good: now im currently using stock TW in which is slow and old fashioned :crying:

GPS is a bug known by the dev, but I think he gave up on fixing things. So what we got is what we will ever have. I don't use the gps or cameras so I'm OK with it.
I know there was a dev that finished some of the work but used the build without permission. I have it, I'll flash it to see if it works, but I don't think so

Well I didn't test the Nav, but walked around my complex and looked like it didn't budge. I'll try the Nav later before I go to sleep.
The one I've flashed is cyanogenmod version 11-20140416 that was taken down. The other is 1110140408 that's in general. Biggest giveaway of the two is the mobile network switch right under Bluetooth and WiFi switches. If you don't have a recent build I'll see what I can do about uploading somewhere.

Well I have the rom. I'm just learning about building and I have a couple friends helping but I don't get why it would be taken down. Especially the device tree if there is one. Wouldn't that be on the cm site? I believe if that's there then the rest should be fairly easy. Do you know, is the device codename p1? Or what the codename is? I know the model number but I think there should be a codename by which to find it on cm. I installed a nightly for the p1 and it didn't break anything fit what that's worth if anything. I'll deff drop a post in here if I come up with anything. If anyone has any info at all that you think might help, even if you think it might not help or aren't sure if it's right, let me know. Anything about this device seems to be so ambiguous it's unreal.

I cant find a single concise piece of info regarding anything about this model, and the information I do find seems to be out of date. Ive rooted and rommed an epic 4g, s2, s4, tab 2 10.1 and a bunch of friends phones, its easy when you can find the info. If you know any links it be appreciated. (Sorry to threadjack)

Sorry dude but unfortunately there's really nothing atm. Only a whole bunch of TW roms in which in reality is still stock just rooted. We did had a themed one before but that was taken down.
Even tw ROMs are scarce. The one bad seed one looks pretty good but Wi-Fi doesn't work.

Guide back to Stock?

Ive looked around and cant seem to find a specciffic post so ill ask:
I have a couple of samsung GS2 T989 on (Tmo) one of which i flashed to some version(11 I think) of cyanogen mod. Have since moved on from them.
Going to sell them on swappa just to get rid of them, But i think it would be better to flash the modded one back to stock, i think i used Odin originally.
Ive looked around XDA but can seem to find a guide on flashing back to stock. Ultimately, may stock but unlocked may help to sell them.
any direction?
Thanks
