Thanks for the update man. Can we have more explanation on the "alternate" as if the difference between the actual and alternate.​

 

[Didusieq]

Great job! Works great. Looks like untouched Google Image for N5 but it is for mako! No issues. Thank you.

It is a normal image, not a zip. Flash using fastboot. Looks like N5 and N4 merged image from google website, clear, untouched. Works like a cherm for me!

 

[katoblepa]

internal memory such as picture and document will be lost?

 

[OldDroid]

if you dont want to loose everything you need to delete the data partition from the occam-krt16s.zip in the tar.gz file!

EDIT: will make a second version for users which dont like to loose data stuff

EDIT 2: building a new aosp libart atm to get whatsapp and so on fixed ...

its a alternative stock rom following the current google android os line (n5 edition) so yes you have to as i want to keep it as clean as possible

 

[Didusieq]

Clean as hell. Works great. "Building a new ASOP libart", means that there will be updated version? Is there something wrong with current one?

yes! whatsapp/titanium backup does not work on art, so i compiled a fresh one from android-4.4_1.2 tag libart library which imcludes fixes so whatsapp and titanium backup run properly on art runtime

If we are talking about ART, Bejeweled 2 game also is not working when switched to ART.

will check that
thanks for the info

Is it possible to build a little bit deeper N5 to N4 ROM? I mean the N5 theme is a little bit different than in N4, also ringtones are different. Can you check it?

 

[OldDroid]

ringtones should be possible, if you find something that is not like n5 you can tell me, i will fix it afterwards

Is it hard to integrate .sh file with ROM? I am still experiencing issues with WiFi connection at home. I have TP-Link TL-WDR4300 and since I got my Nexus 4, it always had some issues with connecting to WiFi. Some ROMs have the newer driver integrated but Google still uses old one. Here is the link to newer binary, but it is hard to integrate it. Even on rooted phone. :/

i dont know from where you got this information, the sh file is a script ehich extracts various binaries/prebuilts for mako! those are also included in the latest version of android by google

I just see problems. Some roms like Paranoid dont have such issues.

Nice work man!

As you reffer to the rom like a alternative factory image. Just some noob question:

I need to root to flash that rom? Or I can install it throw adb just like a normal google release?
Can relock my bootloader after the process is done?
Do you think I will get OTA updates from google after flashing that rom?

thanks man.
