[Repository] [MakoStuff] [Nexus4 Tools]

[gorilla p]

Updated 6/11/15

This page is a work in progress. I will be adding thread links to all of the items listed.
I have contacted most of the developers whose files are hosted. If you have any objection to your work being mirrored in my repo, please PM me and I will remove it.
I am exploring other hosting options as well and this will likely be completed when I have some time.

This thread is dedicated to my Nexus4 file repository on bit.ly/makostuff.
Just about everything listed here can be found in the repository.

My goal is to have all useful items for the Nexus4 available in one place.
Please feel free to post suggestions for tools that you feel may be useful for users.

Please don't post (Especially Don't PM ME) asking about the specific items, but go to that specific thread and post your questions there.

I will post notifications for new profiles created here as well as the kernel thread.
For instructions on properly importing profiles, see this post...

I suppose it wouldnt be too hard, maybe keep up with a couple more kernels and radios to support the N5 as well.

And maybe the n6.... It would be good to have a one stop shopping (and a place to keep up with everything nexus) in one place

Thanks for this thread. :good: Really needed one of this. Will make some contribution in future.

Ahhhh, I see what you did there.

Some recognized developer guy told me how to get rid of that spam.
Hmm, I forgot his name [emoji14] Do you know his name?

5. Patch pie - its use

Thanks for your patience

You can find the info if you look up their threads.
Cerberus disguised doesn't show in app menu, and is flashable zip.
CM App installer is self explanatory
Mash up isn't for the N4, but is a fix for XBMC users to fix the Mashup addob that was shutdown.
Use of Device specific codec is self explanatory.
Patch pie - bypasses pie security check.

Hi, I'll elaborate on my questions.
MX player itself chooses codecs when installed from play store. Are these codecs improved/modified/enhanced in some ways for better performance, or the same as on play store.

Also Cerberus is paid app from play store. How would licence part be addressed if installed in recovery.

Thanks

 

[fr3quency]

Can @sykopompos, @gorilla p or anyone who's into such stuff tell us if those build.prop tweaks actually give us better and smoother performance? Or are they obsolete now with Android 5? There is a lot of confusion as we tend to bloat the build.prop file with lame commands. And this confusion will keep existing till some dev explains.

Either go to the thread that is linked and ask about it there of just check it out real quick
Each of those options is a lot faster than asking someone else to give you a details explanation of something you can find on your own quite easily.

That's a fair question. I have just continued to add them as they haven't caused any issues. Most of them are pretty basic as well.
I'm curious however to know if they have been worked into L/5 at this point of if they are still required.
However, the ones to force GPU for UI and 3d animations, T-Mobile specific ones and DNS entries will still be needed.
In regard to the bitrates, idk if they have improved this in some fashion.
Could one of the ROM devs provide some input on this?

Most of dalvik ones are gone, some are still there. As far as data, there has been some pretty big changes to the connectivity manager so most of then can be gone now. The dalvik and bionic optimizations are for 4.4 only

Best way to find build.prop changes is to grep the aosp source for them. I had a list of all them at some point
