JK6 is what I have been looking for. Everything works in this build so far, the quadrant scores are not up to snuff yet, but the rom is snappy as hell. Still getting 60+ fps in Quake3. The issue about the call output not working when you call someone when connected to a headphone or tape adapter with no inline mic is gone. Like I said, when custom roms are built off this base, it will only get better. But if you were waiting for a great Froyo Rom, this is it.
Sorry wrong forum...
Like to to this as well. The battery life and signal strength on jk6 is excellent with out any tweaks. So far so good i feel with a few apk changes here and the there i could use this and wont feel like im missing anything as far as a smartphones goes. that being said i cant wait for tw, eugene or cm6 because this is a hobby
seems strange that when any of the developer starting to mess with the kernel, the battery life goes down. It happened with Cyanogen and it happened to Eugene as well. Anyone got any idea
Additionally, finally have true playlist support in the music player!
One downside is that the Option to enable/disable screen staying awake when connected to power is gone. It is permanently enabled.

Even though it is a downside, you can manually turn off the screen when you charge these power hunger beasts... All else is absofunkytootly amazing.
Yup. I created a word. Thats how much I'm excited about this rom.

Yes, battery was at 60% at 11pm last night!!! 60%!! Signal issues are also gone, GPS is working great, and I am actually getting a usable edge connection now (120kbps / 80kbps) when in areas of suck. Radio update has been incredible.
My screen still goes to sleep while charging. This is not a global bug, it's just you LOL

Have not tested the wifi calling, I keep it turned off because I was thinking it was a battery hog by definition. I will check on it and report back later today.
Anything else anyone wants tested let me know and Ill throw up the info.

I wasn't clear on that, when it is plugged in to the computer is stays on as it detects a USB connection. It's possible this only happens when usb debugging is enabled.
Plugged in to an AC adapter though display goes to sleep.
This ROM from the start seems MUCH more "snappier" than the JK2 Eugene put out.
But, I'm still on the fence regarding Battery Life on JK6 vs JK2.
I am testing, but I noticed From a full charge then unplugged overnight (7hours) with only Gmail+Contacts Synching, I went from 100-89% using JK6. When I was using JK2 I went from 100-98% overnight.
Some of the cause could have been from some of the additional bloatware I found running in "Services" on JK6 for me, under Application in Settings, like Slacker Radio, so I will compare again tonight.
On another note, I've also been comparing using Power Tutor, which isn't for Galaxy S phones at the moment, but it does give a lot more detail than the stock Battery Usage app. I found that with the screen off on JK6, there is only a 3-7mw drain. On JK2, that was more like 25mw.
With the screen on lowest brightness, (auto-brightness off). I saw around 400-425mw on both. It's interesting to note that the light sensor draws about 100mw, according to Power Tutor...
Again, all this is up for discussion, especially since Power Tutor is not optimized for the Galaxy S...

Just plugged into USB with debugging enabled and the screen goes off after the 30 seconds that it is set to. Not sure what would cause it to stay on if that is what you are seeing.

There are still issues with Wifi Calling - I don't know about the battery drain piece, which a lot of people complain about, but The ringer still only rings on the earpiece, and not the main speaker , where a normal call would ring from. This makes it easy to miss a call, unless you're using vibrate.
Has anyone tested if the battery drain is better on JK6 with WiFi Calling?
I've made about 90 minutes of wi-fi calls today and a moderate amount of use of the phone display doing some other non-CPU intensive things.
59% after 6 hours of use.
Wi-Fi calling, other than the problem with the ringing, is working pretty good for me.
Battery use is a little bit better than stock JI6. It's not mind-boggling better, bit it is better.
My screen does not stay on while charging. I wish I had an option to do so. When I'm driving around So Cal I like to keep Google Maps up with my current location so I can monitor traffic problems, and there's no way to keep it constantly up on the display, or at least I haven't figured out how to do it yet. If anyone knows, let me know. I wish we still had the option to stay awake while on a charger.
There have been some posts by people which suggest this may be the final ROM. I'm pretty sure it's not. It's got some bugs here and there which I wouldn't expect to see on a final build, even from Samsung/T-Mobile. Nothing earth shattering, but enough to keep this from being the final release. That having been said, if you're currently running stock JI6, I see no reason why you shouldn't migrate to JK6. It's a definite improvement.

Interesting, I guess I'm just an exception
I love this rom, however, there are two things bugging me:
1) There is a slight lag in the app drawer when swiping left and right.
2) In Contacts, when you click on a name to call someone, there used to be the option to Call/Message someone. Now when you click on a contact, their contact card comes up with a big 'Message' button. While nothing horrible, it can be annoying.

Have you used Screebl before? I can't live without it.
My screen goes off too. It's dang annoying because I like to keep it on while I'm sitting at my desk using my pc.
If we can figure out why it still stays on for some people, maybe we could hack it into our phones? Is it a setting stored in a property file or a database somewhere?
I'm planning on installing my Flo Nexus in my car to replace the outdated stock navigation system. I was quite interested in Timur's USB ROM but it doesn't support Flo and doesn't look like he'll be adding it after cancelling the indiegogo campaign he started to fund it.
I've spent some time searching and looking at the different kernels and roms available, and for now am running ElementalX 1.7beta with an older CM nightly.
I think this meets most of my needs, but I have one little nitpick - is there anything out there that separates the "Wake on plug" action into two separate functions? I'd like the screen to wake up when power is applied, but not when power is removed as this is going to leave the screen on when I get out of the vehicle. Ideally when power is removed I'd like it to go to deep sleep immediately.
Thanks.
I've never used the app Tasker. But isn't that what people use when trying to accomplish that?

I've used tasker for different things, but have found it unreliable when it came to power events, at least in the past. I'll definitely give it a shot and see how it works for this scenario. Thanks for reminding me.
Any other suggestions out there in case Tasker doesn't do the trick, or other votes for Tasker?
I got an app called "Caffine" which keeps the screen on while plugged in/charging, and when I turn the car off I set the backlight to 15 seconds, that way it sleeps after 15 seconds. Works great.
If you don't mind me asking, how are you installing the tablet into your car?

I have an '06 Acura TL with OEM Navi system. I'm having a car audio shop relocate the navi screen (as it's tied to climate functions but I don't need to see it) and they're putting the tablet in its place. The goal is to have things looking stock while be far from it.

It's part of a complete stereo install I'm doing, and it's not cheap although it's not rip-off expensive either. I chose them because they are capable of doing good fabrication work and are going to need to put something together to hold the tablet securely in place behind the stock bezel.
Just wanted to update for people to know what I did. Tasker was the way to go to get exactly what I want, but I needed to add the Secure Settings plugin as well. With that plugin I was able to immediately turn on the screen when power is applied, as well as shut off the screen immediately when power is removed.
I've also attached other bits to these profiles, such as adjusting the CPU clock and disabling wifi/bluetooth when the screen is off. At this point I'm losing less than 10% battery for 24 hours of sleep, which is pretty good although I'd like to see if I can find any improvements. We'll see!
Hi,
How do you turn off the Nexus player? I can't find an option for it, I had to just switch off the power instead.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

There is no "off" on the Nexus Player, just like the Chromecast. It goes into a low powered standby mode after a few minutes, waiting for any Google Cast connections to wake it up and start playing (with HDMI-CEC enabled on TV or receiver, it'll automatically turn on, switch inputs, etc to start playing your cast immediately).

Like @Elrondolio already mentioned, there is no "Power Off" feature (which I HATE!!!). However, you could look for some kind of switch that you could attach to the power adapter cord so that you don't have to unplug every time that you want to turn the device off...something like this: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1125 (though, I have no idea whether or not that specific cord actually will work...I'm just presenting the concept). I've done this with my raspberry pi and it's awesome!
Another option would be to plug the player into an outlet that is controlled by a light switch (which would be much nicer than the cord IMO).

I'm truly not trying to be confrontational here, simply curious: why do you hate that it's always on (in low power mode) so much?
To me, I see it no different than another phone or tablet in my home as it has nearly the exact same innards... all of my family's phones and tablets are on 24/7 as well, either on battery or charging on the mains. Having to boot up the box for a quick cast to show a quick video/trailer/etc to the family or start playing some music would be an inconvenience, I'd think, as having to wait for a receiver to boot its OS every time would be.
Again, simply curious as to your reasoning is all. Thanks!
Thanks everyone for your explanation.
I also have a Chromecast installed on my TV and I don't have any problem with it being always on WHEN my TV is turned on. However for the nexus player it will be truly always on unless you switch off the main.
I just got my nexus player yesterday so I dunno if it will be warm/hot if it's always on even when not in use. Anyway if it's not warm/hot if not in use then I've got no problem with it.
Thanks again everyone!

agreed, a reboot option would be nice. a 3rd party app can achieve this with root. such as: power menu

No worries about being confrontational, everybody has there own likes/dislikes...nothing wrong with that. Part of it is the made desire for efficiency that I have...why have something consuming power and bandwidth when it's not being used? Also, the amount of time that I and my family are using it is far less than the time that we aren't using it, if I was using it all day, I might not mind so much. Also, it's nice to do a reboot without unplugging the device, especially since I want to put it in a cabinet that is somewhat of a tight space. But, probably one of the biggest things that comes to my mind is connection to the internet on a 24/7 basis really bugs me. I know that my phone and my wife's phone is always connected...but it needs to be to notify me of things, my TV isn't notifying me of anything, I just want to use it when I want some good old couch potato entertainment, so why take up my bandwidth (I assume that it does some kind of check) and use any amount of power (which I do pay for, no matter how little the power usage is) when it isn't needed?
Personally, I believe that the following principle (highly advocated by Google) should have been followed: "Decide for me but let me have the final say" (http://developer.android.com/design/get-started/principles.html#decide-for-me). In other words, give the option to leave it on all the time for those that want it...but allow for powering off for those who don't. That way, everybody is happy.
I know this isn't an on-device fix, but if you're seriously concerned about your TV accessories only being on when the TV is on, there are many power strips out there that have a "master" outlet that toggles power to the rest of the outlets based on when the master device is on. So turning your TV on and off will switch power to the rest of your devices.
A reboot option would be nice. As for turning the NP off, I am using a TRIPP LITE TLP76MSG Eco Green Switched 7 Outlet Conserve Energy Surge Protector from Amazon.
Just an update, I found that when not in use the player is cool to the touch. As such I believe it goes into a low power/power saving mode. I have no issues with it being always on now. Way to go, google/asus. :good:
Confirmation of sleep mode
My nexus player's light is always on. Does anyone know if this means the unit is on or in sleep mode after the 30 minutes of inactivity? I have set it to 30 minutes and daydream does come on. Based on the manual, when the light is on the unit is on.
Thanks
https://support.google.com/androidtv/answer/6123074?hl=en&ref_topic=6121506
I think the light just means it has power, so it can be in sleep mode even when the light is on.
This was my main concern yesterday.
(I had since a week ago the Nexus Player but due my Internet provider's laziness, it was not until last night I could FINALLY setup my account and the device).
I noticed the DayDream options but I agree that the same OS needs an reboot option.
Mine doesn't switch back on when the TV is turned on again. Just a black screen and doesn't respond to pressing buttons on the remote.

I recently brought a Nexus Player, I am having the same problem like you. Is this a problem with the software?
Understand that you can't power off the Nexus Player, but will it damage the internal components of the player (flash drive, etc) in the long run if you just simply cut off the power supply, which is apparently the only way to off the device?

Good afternoon,
So after seeing a bunch of videos and out of boredom I ordered almost all the pieces to make the switch. Was amazed by how simple it was until I noticed that the OTG cable was not supported by the Nexus 7? And that to my understanding I would have to root and install a custom rom in order to do this?
Well I did some research and found timurs rom and installed it. Well noticed gapps wasn't installed. Went to install gapps then I spent an entire Saturday trying to get it to work with no avail. I'm not skilled in this line of work. Alot of the articles I'm finding are from 2012 -14.
Just wanna make sure I'm making the right steps not sure if there has been a new way of doing this or possibly an easier method? Would greatly appreciate it if someone could assist with this.
I would love to have GAPPS on which ever ROM will give me the requirements to install the Nexus as my head unit. Im just not entirely sure how to get it to work proplery. I apologize for my lack of knowledge in advance.
List of parts
-nexus 7 (wifi)
-radio harness
-otg
-usb hub
-dac (behringer UCA222)
As well as some other misc items such has a volume knob, just awaiting the Amplifier.
Thank you for your time, hopefully someone can help me with this :good:
So from what I've gathered Autodroid is the newest rom, just downloaded it. Will be giving it a shot tonight. If someone could help me with Google apps and installing it on there that would be awesome!!!

For Autodroid, look for Slim-Addons-mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.9-20150107.zip from Here.
I had issues with OTG+Charging with Autodroid, but the more i have been tweaking and trying different things, I think the high temperatures were what caused the tablet not to charge. Monitoring the battery, I have noticed when the temp is over say 110* F, it will not charge, but will hold the charge and not drain the battery. The lower the temp gets the faster it starts charging.
I would suggest not converting to F2FS if you plan to use OTG. I could not get it to work properly.
I'm currently running LineageOS 14.1 with Powereventmanager 1.8 installed. This has been working well for me the last week or so, but some issues have me wanting to go back to Autodroid. One issue i've noticed lately with LineageOS is the sound quality doesn't seem as good as Autodroid. It sounds decent for my factory system, but what bugs me is the volume control is not sensitive enough, its either way too loud or too quiet. There may be ways to fix this though, as i have not had time to research a fix. I dont run a DAC, I run my tablet via bluetooth to a headunit hid behind the tablet, so you may not have this issue.
Another issue i have is with PowerEventManager. It will put the tablet to deep sleep, but usually not the first time i turn the ignition off. I have to turn the ignition back on then off, then it will trigger powereventmanger. No big deal, but is a pain since i have to constantly make sure it does go to sleep.
You can also add the volume control buttons to the nav bar through the "buttons" setting. You can add media controls too. This works well for the most part, but there are times the icons disappear, though the control is still functional. I think this issue is caused by my icon size, but not 100% sure.

Hey thanks for the response!!
I ended up getting timurs rom to work. I attempted to go with Autodroid but it would never load up. Attempted timurs rom and it worked and figured I'd try gapps and finally it worked perfect and I have no issues now.
Now I'm trying to find the best method to incorporate Bluetooth to the car. I'm replacing my entire head unit with the tablet. I wanna be able to play music from my phone and have it come out of the cars speakers.
Any suggestion on that?

Autodroid, you have to flash the kangaroo kernel after you flash the rom. there are people that say you have to flash a version of SlimKat and dirty flash Autodroid over it, but i never had to do this.
Check out HeadUnit Reloaded. it is an Android Auto clone. allows you to make a receive calls, stream music from your phone. There is a 5 minute trial, so make sure you have everything set up before you give it a try.
I've been debating on switching to a DAC, just so i can have better volume control. Something about using software buttons for control is just a pain. I've also thought of hard wiring my removable face from the head unit to somewhere it is accessible, but not sure i want to go through the trouble.
Have you thought of just using the phone as a hotspot and using your tablet for everything else? This is what i do and it saves me from having to fidget with my phone all the time.
Another tip for you, though i dont know what DPI Timurs rom is set at, but on AutoDroid I always increased the DPI to make things on screen larger and easier to control, since it is in a vehicle. I believe i had mine set at 230..
I'll be switching back to Autodroid this evening. the bugs i encounter using LineageOS have just been too much to deal with. Worked great for awhile, just need something more stable and worry free.

I have thought about being able to supply a hot spot with my note 5. I found ways of getting around it without rooting it but those have seemed to be disabled. Still hoping to come across a simple way of doing it without paying for it or rooting the phone since I'm currently on the "lease program". I plan to keep the phone once I'm finished paying on it so I believe I should have an issue. I just don't wanna end up screwed if for some reason I have to turn it in and I get hit with a large fee since it's rooted.
I will definitely look into that app, can it be connected thru Bluetooth or just wifi? If wifi I will have to wait until I figure out how to make my phone wifi tethering enabled.
Also I though of an idea, I have found the Bluetooth devices for everyday car stereos. Box with usb to charge and an aux to plug into the car audio. My Dac has an input and an output. I'm currently not using the input since it's all thru usb. I'm wondering if I can hook up the $20 Bluetooth piece and then aquire a female 3.5 aux cable to make rca and hook that up to the input on the dac.

I'm wondering if I can hook up the $20 Bluetooth piece and then aquire a female 3.5 aux cable to make rca and hook that up to the input on the dac.

I'm not sure about Bluetooth with Headunit reloaded... you can use USB. To be able to make and receive calls, you have to have it connected to a "Bluetooth headset" according to their page, but i think this is just for phone calls.. I could be wrong though. I've been curious if my head unit would act as a "headset" since my tablet is connected through Bluetooth...
One day I will buy the app and play with it more, I'm just cheap
About your DAC, I dont see why that wouldn't work. I've read of people using stand alone Bluetooth adapters with their DAC. But like i said before I dont know anything first hand when it comes to DAC's.
Has anyone found a way to disable charging for the fire HD 8 7th gen? I'm using them as wall mounted tablets and prefer to turn off charging once full to let the batteries cycle periodically.
Wasn't able to find the correct file to edit in /sys/class/power_supply

You have to use Arduino and relays to automatically turns off the charger when its full charged.

If your tablet is rooted, you can use a Magisk module for that:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magic-charging-switch-cs-v2017-9-t3668427
You can set it up, to stop charging once you reach a predefined value (like 80%) and continue charging when it reaches another value (like 20%)

Yeah, the mechanical route was an option, but software would be more ideal for these circumstances (the wall mounted tablets are all POE powered).

Awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Darn, tried it and no luck.
Install went perfectly, but none of the android switches normally used by the app to disable/enable charging worked. Really too bad because ACC looks like a great utility.
Back to the drawing board

ACC does work. It's just that the last version broke something for many users. Try 2 - 3 versions before that and one of them will work for sure.
I'm using ACC on a Fire 7, Fire 10 and my phone and they all work. I also use their app, so I don't have to enter the values into the terminal emulator and the app also shows whether the module works properly.
Just make sure to never update the module once it works.

@Noter2017 you were absolutely right. The latest release wasn't functioning. Downgraded to several different versions with no luck, but finally found v2020.7.3 is working correctly.
The charging indicator always stays on even when it's cutoff, but that's just a small issue, so no big deal.
Thanks so much for the tip!
