[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 20.0 for Nexus 5 (hammerhead) [DISCONTINUED]

[z3DD3r]

New build is out (20221220). December security patch included.
There are no any important fixes. This build was made only to fix build errors after merging the December Security Patch.

Build with December security patch. Just in case someone needs it

I don't mind such builds. But you should take in mind that other builds will be signed with different keys or even may use test keys. Keep it in mind and do a clean flash if your phone will not boot after updating from my builds...

 

[dahawthorne]

This is great - thank you. But does this mean the the thread title ("discontinued") isn't accurate? Are you intending to continue for a while longer? Regardless, thank you for A13 on my favourite device.

 

[z3DD3r]

@dahawthorne,
Title is correct. I’m not going to support this rom and provide fixes/updates. I don’t have Nexus 5 anymore. This build was made only to fix build issue after the December security patch.

 

[Yotoprules]

Thanks for this ROM! I will give it a try in my device.
Would you consider working on this ROM in the future if I donated towards a replacement nexus 5?
Thanks for your hard work.

 

[xenonrider]

This is hands down the best ROM for the Nexus 5 I have ever installed. It's near perfect. It's a shame development stopped because this ROM is so good as it is. Please reconsider.

How root this ROM?

How root this ROM?

Install latest version of Magisk. Patch boot.img and flash it.

Thank you for this ROM and Lineage OS 18.1 20221111 which is smooth an stable. One question: Is Wifi with configuration 'WPA2 + WPA3' working with the ROM here ([EXPERIMENTAL] LineageOS 20.0 for Nexus 5)?
(With a different device and Android 12 Wifi is with combination WPA2/3 not working.)

 

[JohannesL2021]

Sorry a second question, perhaps z3DD3r can clarify: what about the ROM with link

https://sourceforge.net/projects/hammerhead-lineage/files/lineage-20.0/lineage-20.0-20230109-UNOFFICIAL-hammerhead.zip/download

Is this a newer version or smething diffrent?

 

[dahawthorne]

Thanks for that pointer. There is a new version dated today (24th) which I've dirty flashed over LOS v20 December and it appears to work fine, though my N5 is my backup backup after my N6 and I haven't tried all the functionality.
Good to see continuing development.

@z3DD3r
Thank you for your work.

The 20230124 ROM works like a charm.
Except a couple of occasional graphic glitches with SystemUI, I could not find any issues.

 

[bluetooth-bug]

I noticed that as well. They have been present in earlier builds as well. Nothing serious, Lately I have that for the navigation buttons and in the past I think I saw for an app icon in the app drawer. Something gets corrupted in memory, but if you turn off screen and turn it back on the those artifacts are gone.

One more tiny little issue is with charging sounds that I noticed. If you charge your phone and unplug the notification sound is very delayed. No big deal this one. I can just turn it off as a workaround.

 

[z3DD3r]

Yes, there is a new build of LOS 20.0. It was built only to include fix for network traffic indicator (works in 20230124). But as you already noticed it has some graphical glitches. Sorry, i can’t test the rom myself, but i guess i know what is the problem. Today i will release another one build with fix and update my forks.

 

[z3DD3r]

New LineageOS 20.0 is out.
Build 20230125.
Changes:
1. Fixed graphical glitches which were introduced in previous build
2. Fixed graphical glitches on Recent Apps screen
3. Fixed network monitor indicator
4. Added some changes to bluetooth (should fix audio output from speaker while bt is connected)
5. January security patch

Clean flash is recommender.

Any comments regarding gcc12 boot image?

 

[z3DD3r]

Any comments regarding gcc12 boot image?

This is the same kernel as in latest build but compiled with GCC 12.2.1. You can compare this kernel with stock kernel in latest release of LineageOS 20.0. Idk if there are will be any improvements/regressions. If anybody will test this kernel then please let me know how it works

I've tested the ROM and both Kernels.
Visual glitches seem to be gone.

Both kernels work but I can't think of a way to benchmark them.
I managed to run GeekBench once on the standard kernel with score 149 / 472.
Consequent runs crashed on both kernels. This is the error I see:

Also seems like something is missing in WiFi HAL (which is expected since N5 kernel is old and doesn't support BPF:

[z3DD3r]

@eugenesan,
Crash happens cos of memory allocation problem (not enough memory). We can’t do much here. Such is life on hammerhead with Android 13 and memory hungry apps.
Wi-Fi HAL has everything it needs to work. This error is shown because kernel doesn’t support eBPF. Ignore it. We can’t do anything here.

@All here:
Could someone be so kind an write install instructions for this ROM an file
lineage-20.0-20230125-UNOFFICIAL-hammerhead-boot-GCC12.img ?
I use today Nexus 5 with twrp-3.7.0_9-HH.R.17 and
lineage-18.1-20221111-UNOFFICIAL-hammerhead-signed.

Installation process is the same as for Lineage 18.1. Nothing changed. You don't need to install boot-GCC12.img as it doesn't have any benefits according to reports...
