Hi everyone.
I have a very good news to share and some bad news too. We finally have Pie here for our beloved Nexus 5 aka hammerhead (i just love the codename). It's based on AOSP 9.0.0r3 with August 5 security patch. It's at a very early stage and many things are broken. If anyone wants, please do help move it further. All the sources and images are in link below. Enjoy the pure pie!


What works:

• Boots!
• Bluetooth
• Network [Untested, but displays IMEI and baseband information. Needs testing. I didn't have sim with me]
• MTP

What doesn't:
(The bad news)

• WiFi
• Sound
• Debugging
• Camera
• NFC
• Please tell me more...

SELinux status:

• Permissive [Working on permissions]

There is a flash "error 6" with flashable zip. And so far every solution seemed to fail. But this method works and i didn't want that to be roadblock. I am working on it though.

So I tested out most of the things and here are the results:
#1. The SIM Card does get registered and I was able to make a call but it is extremely buggy. I was going on No service very frequently(almost every 2 seconds) and mobile data isn't working at all. When I did get signal and place a call, it was automatically going on mute but the call did connect. If i try to manually register the entire thing crashes.
#2. ADB Doesn't work at all.
#3. Camera too doesn't work.
#4. I was greeted with "there's a problem in your device. contact manufacturer" message.
#5. Notification LED works.
#6. Hotspot works. (Buggy UI though)
#6. MTP doesn't work on mine . idk why

Overall , the rom is extremely fluid and buttery smooth and with these fixes , it can surely become much more usable.

Thanks Mithil. Appreciate it. I'll work on those. I won't be able to give exact timeframe though.

Oh that's fine. Thanks.
I heard pie roms have different decryption method or something, thus few twrp builds have issues. Is this related to something like that.

 

[Sunny Rajak]

Thanks you!! Man

 

[mireval]

Thank you for your work on this rom.
I found that there is no “Swipe up on Home button” option in gestures and i was wondering why beaucause it is there on the nexus 5x aosp rom.
It would be awesome if you could add it

I would, later on. Right now there are core issues as mentioned i need to resolve. Thanks for trying it out.

I tried with stock recovery. Didn't work. Looking into it.

I was facing the same problem with lineage-16.0. The build completes and the zip file is generated, but TWRP gives an ERROR:6. Then I tried replacing the update-binary with the one from a lineage-15.1 zip file and I was able to install the lineage-16.0 zip file. But the ROM doesn't boot due to some other issues within the build. Maybe you can give it a try with your TWRP flashable zip.

Just make sure that the updater-script has similar mount and format statements as the zip file you copy the update-binary from.

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to go about solving this issue, but I think it's a temporary workaround.

Alright. I will look into it. Thank you for the suggestion.

 

[tulegenovislam]

please make the firmware so that we can stitch through the fastboot

 

[LeeTG3]

Wow! I can still use the latest android version on my 5 year old device!

 

[albertoduqe]

This is awesome! Thanks!

I hope some bugs can be fixed but still, as have been said, P for our beloved Hammerhead, it is just great.

I will try asap and give some insight if I can.

Cheers!
