NexSense ROM General Discussion - Nexus 5 General

Since the DEV-ONLY thread was getting OT and Noob questions, I thought I'd make this thread to take all that away from that thread and leave the devs to their work. So ask anything here about it until Galaxyuser creates a ROM thread. I'll be happy to answer questions as well.
If you would like some instructions on how to flash this ROM with MultiROM, here is a video made by Gavin96 that will walk you through step by step on how to do so.

And also, if you already have the ROM up and running, here is a little treat for Xposed users. Thank jonata in that post.

Yeah, i could tell people were getting irritated. Hopefully this will help the development of the ROM go a little faster. I didn't think I'd ever like anything other than stock Android but I'm liking Sense 6.

Sense looks better to me on the Nexus 5 than it does on an HTC phone.

Any idea till when it will get stable release, how much bugs are left for fix

There's quite a bit of work they need to do. The main one is sound and mic I think. Since we can't make phone calls without it. Until thats fixed, it can't be a daily driver unless you never take calls. Other things like the camera and certain sensors and NFC need to be fixed but can go without if needed.

Ok but i have heard that it breaks few sensors of many users and testers

That's going to be one heck of an undertaking although one may be able to cheat the sensors by using our libs and renaming them to match htc's version. I don't know how this guys doing his porting though.

The first release broke the sensors. The second one doesn't break them. But some still don't work.

I never thought there was such a big sense following among nexus users. I prefer pure Android myself but I'm interested in seeing if they can actually make a decent port with everything working so I can give it a whirl. Hats off to the devs I'm sure its not going to be easy.

Well one of the best things that the Nexus 5 has is MultiROM. Thanks to that, I have both sense and stock on my device. Best of both worlds.

Thanks for you thread it's really helpful for me

I'm impressed with how far it has gone already. Sure, no audio, nfc, or sensors, but the fact the RIL and Wifi work is enough to at least play around with for more than a few minutes. It actually runs really well for having very few bug fixes.

Any word if CDMA ril is working?

Hey im no dev but I do know a few that do work on sprint HTC phones. He gave me a few files to try that he thinks might work but I cant get multi-rom to work right with this rom to try it and I don't have time to work on it, its dinner time.

Does this rome fine on multirom?

I saw cyanogen's google+ post showing they created a voice activated camera which would be fun, but between losing the quality of such an impressive camera as well as SenseTV's remote I think I'll stick to Sense. This thing flys anyway so I don't feel the need to strip Sense off to speed things up. An AOSP battery/clock/signal theme would be great though
I wonder if devs would be able to add the voice trigger feature to our Sense camera

its being worked on by many of the top dogs in cm. as for main features, its almost ready. but tuning and everything might take some time. its on its way though.
I think this is one rom i won't be bothering with nightlies. Sense5 is actually pretty nice and all the headaches i was going through wit GPS and what not on the evo4g builds aren't worth it yet. Doubt they'll ever get stuff like zoe working though.

thats pretty amazing if you think about it it only been a week since the US release and the CM team has already got an alpha together, then theres all the other devs working on this phone viperboy had his rom stable the day it released in the US!
Toastcfh tweeted a screenshot yesterday... Is also running the Sprint version. Should be fun!
I heard on 5.2.13 we have a rekease party
This Is pretty amazing, and also couldn't we just take the camera apk and sense tv apk/correct binaries? to have them on the aosp rom?
This sense 5 ROM is pretty fast and smooth as is, would just like to have some options to flash. And CM always has some extra goodies... :beer:

We've got at least one phenomenal dev (Jmz) working on this phone, so I would expect to see CM at some point. The kernel was just released, and prior to that, there wasn't much that could be done other than the stock rom. Despite that, he gave us Sense 4+. I don't want to speak for him, and certainly voicing a request is the best way to show interest, but I'd say be patient.
All that said, I cannot wait for CM!

Partially I agree, but partially I don't. He said in the thread for his Sense 4+ ROM that he's currently working on another big app project and that he doesn't have the First as a priority. That's what I gathered at least, but I'm still thankful there's something out there and that he's put the time in

[Q] WCX comparable ROM?

Hello everyone,
I dont post here very often mostly because I got the WCX Illuminati ROM a while back and I have been MORE than pleased with it. It is simply excellent. However I am going on vacation soon so I wanted to update my ROM as its pretty old now and WildChild has produced several updates since I last installed mine. I went to log into WildChild's forum for his ROMs and found that I cannot navigate to any of the forum. Its like the page has been shut down or something.
Does anyone know if he has shutdown or what the deal is?
And if so what ROMs for our phone offer similar functions to the Illuminati ROM? I dont want to downgrade if none of the others I have found arent as good. Just to be clear Im not asking if other roms are available Im not that much of a Noob lol. I found This Thread and a few other websites with other ROMs I just dont want to spend a week testing them if you all have proper feedback.
Thank you for any help! It will be greatly appreciated!
None come close to the WCX Sense ROMS. I tried porting some but dropped it because of compiling errors and lack of interest. You are probably better off staying with his or flashing stock. Sorry for the bad news but development here has pretty much stopped. Good luck
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
Well thats sad...
Is there at least any knowledge on what is the deal with his site? I thought he supported other devices as well its hard to imagine him just up and shutting down the whole site. Or maybe is there a way to contact him for his last release?
If all else fails though I guess I will just keep what I have and reset everything.

Does CM have the wifi tethering unlocked like WCX? That was a big seller for me on the Illuminati ROM.

That is great news. Last I heard it sounded like August was a HUGE maybe. While it's good to see dev is still going on here for the Vivid there is nothing that runs as smooth or stable as WC's ROMS. The new CM MOD looks pretty promising but in the in call volume on the latest is still a deal breaker for me.

In my opinion first a proper bug-free rom would be reasonable instead of countless buggy ports we currently have. No offence to anyone and I hope no one will take it so, but the truth is, since cute_prince' hard work, no proper and genuine development has been done on this forum. Think about that.

I have made like 19 source builds including updates since cute's work, as well optimizing ports and adding mods, if you don't like it, you can either use stock CM10 or go back to stock/revo because they were the only Roms available. Besides, i was going to portthis till i discovered the Rom was 1gb in size, then you'd have to resize everything because it's xhdpi i think.. But, skype me later and we can work collaborately on the port Markey boiii

In general, it would be nice to see quality instead of quantity. Just 1 bug-free CM or AOSP based ROM.

"stock" doesnt get ported to any nexus device, since they run "stock" default. to port sense to a nexus is extremely hard as it needs htc's framework, and if it does happen it would be partially if any bit at all. this will take lots of time and effort! and considering sense is not open source, you will not have any direct access to its code. anyways, considering that people are still trying to port the last version of sense, i wish you good luck.
I encourage all development but this might be quite difficult with closed sources and the framework. If XpLoDWilD can hack into the snap dragon processor and enable always listening from the low powered core then this is possible as well. I doubt devs of that caliber will focus on porting sense to a specific device non htc device though.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
well, you need damn good smali and hex knowledge, as you need to modify the bootstrap in a special lib and add support for s800 ://
it is possible but hard to achieve (well, last word is maybe incorrect, im sorry for that )
Best regards,
OldDroid
I doubt that you will ever see it happen. Which is too bad because of all of the different overlays Sense is by far the best. Unfortunately HTC is not particularly forthcoming with the source code for, well....anything. Having come from the Amaze (Ruby) HTC proved to be very difficult to deal with.
this would be amazing.. loved sense 6 the second I saw it.. but it would be great even if I got a kind of launcher at least. Stock android is great too
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Sense is closed source.
They are releasing blinkfeed in the playstore in the coming weeks/ months. You could easily download a sense like launcher and icons. I did play with the newest m8 at the ATT store and I can say I was very impressed. You could also make the clock widget in zooper, combine all that with blinkfeed and you have yourself an almost sense experience.
Go buy the "new" HTC One

It's possible, but it would be extremely difficult and would require reverse engineering of the libs and some binaries, as well as likely needing a fully modified kernel and ramdisk. By the time it got fully stable, if it ever did, we would probably be at the release of sense 7.

Good job! I came here to link to that thread.
For anyone confused by the title, check out this post in the thread.
In my several years on XDA, I've seen a few attempts to port OEM skins (usually Sense and Touchwiz) to devices from other manufacturers. Of those attempts, exactly zero of them were successful. As much as I'd like to see this (and I would - Sense is actually pretty awesome), it's just not going to happen.

This is really cool, and I hope it ends up working. As of right now, it's only partially functional, which is about as far as most of these ports get.
Don't get me wrong - I'm pretty excited about the possibility of this. It's just that I've seen a lot of these before, and they always end up going dead after a promising start. Here's to hoping this one is different.
