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.

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

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.

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.

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

Try unmounting system and rebooting recovery before flashing
