This is AOSP with Linaro additions on top for speed and optimizations.

You'd be amazed at what breaks when you add very strict code optimizations.

In the flash directions, after flash rom, it says to unmount system, I've not seen this before. I use philz recovery & my options under mounts is just to format. Will this not work if I flash rom, gapps, superSU.

can anyone tell me what is the difference between LINARO and non-linaro build?


Linaro is an organization that takes the AOSP code and utilizes strict compilation flags to optimize the code to allow the system to run faster and more efficiently. Caveat though is that dirty/sloppy code needs to be fixed which can range from a trivial spacing issue up to code needing to modified to be written in a proper fashion that doesn't allow for memory leaks or allowing two different functions to point to the same allocated space when they aren't supposed to.


Non Linaro is anything AOSP derived without any of the Linaro optimizations.

The unmount system step is to alleviate an issue that arises with some recoveries for whatever reason won't flash the rest of the packages if system isn't unmounted dispute it being unmounted during ROM flash. Also if the ROM doesn't flash after a wipe it's usually cause system is still mounted. Don't know why it works, but it does.

So if I can't actually, unmount system in philz recovery, then I should flash twrp recovery, which I know I can unmount system, yeah?

One way to get around having to manually unmount system (which one of my testers using philz recovery found) is if the ROM is refusing to flash after a wipe then you should flash the superuser or gapps package first then the ROM should flash with no issue and then you can proceed to install superuser and gapps without needing to unmount.

Nice.. When I had my One X, it was a Linaro-based ROM that made it give it's best performance, I'm hoping this will do the same for my N5. Flashing now.

The Google provided binaries were used so yes Sprint will work right out of the box

were they the ones provided on googles website or from the device itself? see my sig to get an idea, you must use the actual device blobs for full sprint functionality using the google provided ones on their website do not provide full support. My apologies if i misunderstood your answer.



edit NVM see you are on Sprint ;)

    Still wondering about this. Also anyway to get some kinda better indication of my battery level? BTW, ROM is smooth as hell! Anyone try messing with ifonts? I'm considering it but don't wanna mess anything up.

    Well I will break it down for you.

    @NineInchNails is one of the developers of this rom, he is working along side the OP and they help each other @NineInchNails develops some great kernels, his work is top notch and very supportive with his users. His link gives you the option of running his custom kernel, which is still compiled with linaro so you do not lose any of the performance gains this rom shipped with, other kernels you will unless they are compiled with linaro. ART will still work and battery life should improve, but everyones usage on their phone is different from one another. Give it a try, flash it and use it for a few days and if you do not enjoy the experience you can either flash another kernel, or dirty flash this rom over your current install and it will provide you with the default kernel. @NineInchNails has a good following of users who recognize great work, he has been around the block. I believe his current kernel he linked you to uses francos kernel as a base, and then he adds his custom options and tuning to that. I am sure you have read some good things about franco, this is franco on steroids. :good:

    What do you mean in regards to a better idea around your battery level, you can always click the battery icon from quick tiles and it should take you to the battery stats page which shows percentage. I quit worrying about seeing percentage because i always seemed to obsess over a percent or two drop, with no text indicator i dont do that and just use my phone as I would.

    You can try installing the google keyboard from the market, I have the same issue with AOSP keyboard on PA. You can also try out swiftkey, its now free in the play store and everyone seems to love it.
