Hi Vosky and thank you and congrat for your work!
I try to flash your rom 2.1 in recovery mode and I have this message:
@philipped346:
yes, camera API is broken on Nexus 5: seehttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=992842
If someone could solve this one, I would REALLY appreciate A LOT!
4G normally works on 2.2 version
Another bonus question: Vosky, how did you do to build a rom flashable via recovery?

Do you have the same message with another build ?
I didn't try my builds for 3 weeks...
Building firefox os is really easy if you have time and ressources.
I followed theofficial guide.
When the build is done, you have *.img files I compress in fastboot packages.
You have also system and data folders I package with@philipped346 META-INF for recovery flashable zip.
Then I sign flashable zip withsignapk.jar.

Hi Vosky,
Yes indeed, FirefoxOS rom aren't difficult to build. To be honest, I had wanted to build for others until I saw your topic
The only one thing that annoyed me was the rom.zip creation. Thanks to the french Mozilla community (you are french, right?), I foundthis
It should create directy a complete and flashable .zip rom without tricks. I tried it, it create indeed a .zip rom, but I think I have problems with my phone, I can't flash neither my zip rom nor yours
Maybe you could try it, and give me the result it could be very usefull...

I just tried the latest nightly (2015-01-07) with multirom and it work...
What is your recovery ?
Did you try to flash with fastboot instead ?
(and yes, I'm french
Am i the only one who thinks that Vosky isn't getting enough credit that he deserves.
Dear users of this ROM, Vosky is doing a great work. Don't just keep requesting for features or ask him questions all the time. Just take your time to hit that thanks button if you appreciate his work
Thank you.
New builds since 01/14 (14/01 on the website) are bigger because I added new languages.
Thanks to@eyoome for his scripts.
Sorry for OT, i wonder if the developer is interested in also continuing the Nexus 4 FFOS project, when he has time. Our builds are working well, all functioning, but old

Each device and version require lot of ressources (CPU + HDD + bandwidth)...
About 20GB/branch of source code (download + compile).
So I only compile builds for my devices.
Damn, you are fast!
Thanks A LOT.
(I will have new suggestion sooon
I you have fix for camera issue it would be great. :good:

What do you need on Firefox OS to use it as your only ROM on Nexus 5 ?

- mymodifications anduserconfig13Hi,
We are switching to a new build config.
Till today, builds were made on a computer at home then uploaded to ffos.vosky.fr.
Home computer have good hardware but slow connexion and ffos.vosky have Gameboy harware with 1 Gb/s connexion.
Upload from home to ffos take about 6 hours.
That is why we never upload more than 2 builds per day.
In the new config, builds will be make ON ffos.vosky, a REAL server with great hardware and 100 Mb/s connexion.
We are still working on it, we have some issues during compilations.
So, what already changed ?
My home server upload files on the new server.
Bandwidth is slower, but only those of you who have connexion with more than 100 Mb/s will see a small difference.
All the website is in HTTPS, even next FOTAs releases.
What will change ?
Builds will be made ON ffos.vosky.fr.
So we will be able to releases more builds per day and it will relieve my home Internet.
Eyome suggest to release test builds everyday with nightlies.
We alsoMAY upload builds for another device.
But we are not sure because it would double our work and we are lazy
If you want that we add ONE other device, we need 3 things :
- The device is not made by another Mozilla contributor, so it is not on this website :https://firefoxos.mozilla.community/devices/
- The device have a Mozilla manifest, on this website :https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/b2g-manifest
- You have this device and you are motivated to help us (may need to erase all phone datas during tests).
Big bonus point : You speak french.
If you want to suggest new device that respects theses conditions, please send me a PM, so we do not flood this topic.
French messages will be read first.12
Hi,
There are some news since I added 2.2 prerelease.
As@eyoome said, 2.1"s" is for smartTV so it is useless for Nexus 5 : I removed it.
There is no more "weird shortcuts" pointed by@cimbrum.
With@eyoome we added FOTA updates !
Your phone will download and flash new builds like CyanogenMod roms.
But it work if Firefox OS is your only rom (no multirom support).
We tested it with clockworkmod, it may fail with other recovery.
Thank todattaz for hishow to andLixxys for his help on IRC.
Now we work (@eyoome and me) on fixing camera issue. :fingers-crossed:7Yep great news yeah!?!
Seriously guys, push on "Thanks" button for Vosky, because he did a great job! See around, there are no FFOS rom more complete than this one for Nexus5, and I doubt there are a lot better on others phones
For the others rom makers who want to know how we proceed, please refer to the previous post by Vosky, and on his Home page, all is describe here. Feel free to ask too if you have any questions, I'll do my best to help you. We are working as close as possible to Mozilla community to provide the best rom we can, so enjoy!
So yeah, now, you can choose, with this rom, the FFOS version you want.
To reminder, here are their descriptions:
-Nightly rom: atm 3.0 version. This version is build EVERY days. This is the branch dev version. Possibly hightly instable. Not really recommended to be daily used, but hey, it's not forbidden, above all if you want to report bugs
-Aurora rom: atm 2.2 version. This version is build every weeks. This version should be more stable than Nightly, and it includes progressively the news features coming from nightly version, but later...
-Beta rom: atm 2.1 version. This version is build every weeks. This should be the more stable version, close to be commercialy released.
And yes, as Vosky said, stay tuned guys, be sure camera will come soon, it's already fixed in upstream
