Don't hesitate to post even a draft of your knowledge base. At the moment I can see the phone go from fully charged to empty in one night.

download an app like sysmon to keep controlled your cpu usage. It happens that it remains to 60% even with no app opened, then the solution could be restart the phone. If someone knows how to kill processes that cause it, please tell us how to do it!

maybe using a root enabled file manager? As filecase root for example.

You can mount /system as read/write with:

Code:

devel-su mount /system -o remount,rw,relatime,data=ordered

This is temporary and will revert to read-only on reboot.

You can verify it is now mounted read/write with:

Code:

[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ mount | grep /dev/mmcblk0p25

You should see a result like (note the "rw". If it were read only, it would be "ro"):

Code:

/dev/mmcblk0p25 on /system type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

Thank you. I was able to successfully edit gps.conf in vi.

Agps now seems to work for me (i.e., I can generally get a fix in seconds now, compared to several minutes with gps only), with a change to an ntp.org NTP server. Flashing the radio was unnecessary.

In the Settings>Location menu, clicking "High-accuracy positioning" and "Device-only mode" seems to work the best for me, though I did not test that rigorously (so that may not be a real finding).

I am on the hardware adaptation associated with the CM12 2.0.1.11 image, OTA'd to 2.0.5.6...

Glad that worked for you. It may be my region or environment, but GPS only worked for me after the edits to gps.conf AND the baseband from 4.4.3. May I ask what GPS app you're using on 2.0.5.6?

I use the latest version of Poor Maps.

The Nexus 5 is really nice on paper, and when it works. But it seems like you don't know what you are going to get with the hardware. I've returned one because LTE didn't work, and then I returned another one where LTE worked but not wifi. I completely believe a situation where reverting to an older radio would be a legitimate fix for one group of owners, unnecessary for a second group, and unworkable for a third.

Say what you will about the old Nokia, but you could generally rely on build quality meeting a certain standard.

Absolutely. Prior to the Stephen Elop takeover, Nokia were incredible devices in QA and build quality, especially those made in Finland. That's because they have always been PROUD of their image and brand, not just their bottom line. It's a shame that, even though the N9 design lived on in Lumia models, Nokia has been reduced to a Windows OEM farm.

So, i kind of got cm13 working on our Nexus5...

First i wanna thank all the people of #sailfish-porters who helped me..thank you guys!

Today i installed my first compiled version and it booted

But that is so far the only thing its doing

WIFI doesn't work...
Cellular doesn' work...
Bluetooth doesn't work...
Camera doesn't work...

The gui doesn't start, because of oom_adjust errors(got thi solved by editing many systemd services, then the gui comes up, but this was only to see if the gui is working.)

Sound works.
Vibration works.
Touch works.
Buttons work.
Telnet and SSH (both using USB) work.
Charging works.
Led works.

So, many things to figure out, but it looks promising :-)

I'll keep you updated.
