[Discussion, FAQ and Help Thread] ROM: [WIP]AOSP Nougat 7.0 by SanthoshM

[Nexive]

Thanks for the good work. There is one issue that 5G WiFi is missing for Nexus 5 with r 27.

I can use 5GHz wifi connections on my Nexus 5 with the latest AOSP build.

Is your baseband version like this (in the attached screenshot) ?

Yes I have the same baseband version.
There is no toggle switch for 2,4 ghz and 5 ghz in wifi settings but I can see 2,4 ghz and 5 ghz connections when I scan for wifi networks and I can connect with them

I found the reason.
Android 7 hides the option switching 2.4 G and 5 G in Advanced WIFI settings, and it determines to choose 2.4 or 5 G by itself.
I switched off the 2.4 g band of my router, and then the phone saw the 5 g SSID and connected to it.
It has been considered as a new feature of android 7 https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidPreviews/comments/4euqle/question_wheres_the_toggle_for_245ghz_wifi/

I just installed this and I did a factory reset.. did the pico install for gapps.. I just got it running but I can't get Google Now launcher to open. It keeps wanting me to set it as a Home app instead of "Launcher3" however the option for Google Now does not appear in the list. ...although ironically "Nougat Launcher" works fine (just downloaded off Play lol) .. any ideas?

You also need the Google app to get Google Now Launcher working.
If you do that, Google Now Launcher will appears.

yeah I know, I already have it installed.

Did you also set it up (the Google app)? Or a reboot?
Setting up the Google app did the trick for me.

... I've done so much I don't remember.. but uninstalling it, reinstalling, rebooting and then setting it up again. if it will let me

Did you also tried to clear the cache of these apps and give it permissions?

 

[wwazman]

oop yes, sorry I got myself confused... after a reboot or two it came up, and I moved on to the next problem with it, (Google Now) refuses to show the Google Search on the home screen (I know it's a widget, I don't see it) but the big BIG problem is when I swipe left in to bring up the Google screen it won't do "Ok Google" detection, and when I click "Settings" it says Google Play services doesn't have one or more required permissions... I've gone in and checked and everything I can see is on, but it still is being sticky.. have rebooted several times, uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cache..

For the Google search bar issue:
Pick a random widget and place it on your homescreen. You wil now get a message, go agree and the Google search bar will show op.

For the Ok google issue, you can try following options:
Option 1:
Go to settings (device settings)
Go to apps
Go to google
(Re)enable microphone permission

Option 2: (don't know if it's necessary)
Go to settings (device settings)
Go to apps
Tap the gear wheel
Go to assist and voice input
Choose none
Choose google
Agree

Option 3: (don't know if it's necessary)
Remove the following line in build.prop:
ro.opa.egilible_device=true

I don't know how to do option 3 ??????

 

[Nexive]

Thanks!

You need root access
If you have this, go with a root file explorer to /system.
You find the build.prop file there and should be able to edit it (open it as a text file)

 

[wwazman]

ro.opa.egilible_device=true

or eligible? typo?

ok regardless, I just checked and it is already set to true.... (o a sidenote, where's the setting to tell it to always stay on lte??)

that ro.opa.egilible_device=true did not fix it (to clarify, "Ok Google" now works, however I cannot set it in Google Now settings, it still has the "Google Play services doesn't have one or more required permissions" error.

Normally ro.opa.egilible_device=true should be already in build.prop. You need to remove that line or set it to false to get Ok Google working.
But if it works now, it's okay.

For the permission issue:
(Re)enable all the permissions for Google Play Services.

And what do you mean by always stays on lte?
You want that the device prefers a LTE connection over a wifi connection?
