[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kearkan:
I quite often use a bt keyboard with my n7, for work etc, but one thing that bugs me is that although the n7 will wake by pressing a key on the keyboard, you still need to swipe the screen to unlock it.

when i am not using the keyboard i use the lockscreen with the slider shortcuts.

So my question is, is there a way to set up things so that when the keyboard is connected, coming out of wake will skip the lock screen? and then when the keyboard isnt connected the lockscreen works as normal?

I know i could just change the settings but i dont want to have to do that every time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] codeprimate:
Hi all, I can't post in the dev thread, so I'll ask here.

I had some issues with the Bluetooth chewing 70% of the battery while it was off on the 6/11 nightlies. Can anyone say definitively that this has been resolved in the 8/11 build?

ATM I'm running the 27/10 build with the 6/11 kernel and 4.2 Gapps, as this combo seems stable for me. The bluetooth doesn't seem to be a kernel issue, and I know the kernel was reverted, so I suspect this issue might still be around.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] codeprimate:
Ok, didn't get an answer, but monitored the CM10 Dev thread and the bluetooth issues seemed to have cleared up, so updated to the 9/11 nightly.

Happy to report that this issue is gone.

Haven't hit any problems with this build yet.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KicknGuitar:
Out of the 4 or so times I've successfully rooted the damn thing, I still am not 100% what I am doing right. Since each time I end up with a headache I've written myself a guide which seems to be almost always wrong along somewhere. I'm curious how wrong my latest discovery is. It seems when I use the 2.2.2 Android sbf I can't follow the usual directions listed on the wiki page. I need to run psneuter from another phone's root hack to give me "busybox, psneuter and su. Then I go back to install the bootmenu. Am I missing anything? Cheers:

II.C. Rooting

[EDIT:: It seems for Froyo 2.2.2 ("CEE sbf") you will probably need to follow the psneuter instructions:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/LG_G2x:_Full_Update_Guide

Then go back and install bootmenu:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Motorola_Defy:_Full_Update_Guide ]

Is there anything else?

II.C.1. Connect Defy via USB and set it to "None." Open up terminal and begin pushing the files over:

$ adb push $PATH/TO/busybox /data/local/

i.e.

$ adb push /Users/kg/Android/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/busybox /data/local/

Push psneuter:

$ adb push $PATH/TO/psneuter /data/local/

… and su:

$ dab push $PATH/TO/su /data/local/

Now to change some permissions

$ adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox

$ adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/psneuter

Enter into Defy and run psneuter by typing:

$ adb shell

$ /data/local/psneuter

Once the command finishes enter:

$ adb shell

"$" should now be "#."

# mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

# mkdir /system/xbin

Should the last command say, "mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists" let it be. It tried to create a directory but one with that name already exists. Just move along:

# /data/local/busybox cp /data/local/su /system/xbin/su

# chown 0:0 /system/xbin/su

# chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

# ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su

# exit

One last push:

$ adb push $PATH/TO/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk

$ adb reboot

Fin.

II.C.2.To Install the Bootmenu by connecting the Defy via USB, allow memory card access.

Drag and drop the bootmenu folder into the SD card

Rename it "bootmenu"

Eject the SD card and on the Defy set the USB mode to "None."

In Terminal start up adb:

$ adb shell

Now give it SuperUser permissions, enter the following then unlock the screen on the defy and select "allow":

$ su

The prompt "$" should now be "#."

# cp -R /sdcard/bootmenu /data/bootmenu

# cd /data/bootmenu

# chmod 755 *

Just let this command run the script to the end (when the user prompt, # is given)

# ./install.sh

Once finished, don't reboot yet:

# rm -R /data/bootmenu

Now do so:

# reboot

If you want to see if it worked, upon the first boot animation/logo watch for the LED to flash blue after a good few seconds. Press Volume-Down upon seeing the light. You should be in the bootmenu!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RaptorMD:
Over on eBay is an auction eBay Auction for GN2 on Verizon and as of right now its up to $750. The stupid part is its above full retail price and the seller is only offering to ship you his pre-order once he gets it. So really you could just pre-order yourself at full retail and save money and keep your warranty since its tied to your account.

MicroSD OTG

Mine storage only so I'm soldering a microSD reader straight to a microUSB plug, which lets me make it a little smaller.

I'll solder the reader on backwards as in the photo so it hopefully wraps around the back of the device. Bull i'll fix it in place once I have the N10 and can measure it up etc.

EDIT: Electronics are done, just need to package it now, nice and neat.

See new image attached, connected to my SGS3.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Capt.PP:
@alias_neo, nice. If you're going for soldering method and don't plan to use (female USB for controller, mouse, ect.). There is one even smaller here.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] alias_neo:
Yeh, I have a few smaller ones myself but none that I wanted to sacrifice to this project. I've not heat-shrink wrapped the wires and will encase the connector properly tonight.

I have the proper microUSB ecasings for the connector, but it's huge and I want to keep it small so i might make one from ... wood? Who knows.

My Solution

Here's my version of a compact micro-usb otg adapter.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] leyvatron:
Wow! That is so cool.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] supertaco:
That's simply AMAZING!! =O

Incredibly good idea and a nice "Case" :)
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Capt.PP:
I also like the way you retained the female USB for game controllers, mouse, microSD, ect. I turned the female USB to the side, when plugged-in it's only half the size of the female USB.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] je55ter:
Yeah, I considered putting the female usb port at a 90 degree angle, to keep it from sticking out too much, but I realized that would significantly limit the number of devices I could plug into it based on the width of their usb plugs. The one unfortunate thing about my adapter is that the female port is fairly shallow, so whatever you plug into it, tends to stick out an extra 1/8 inch or so. However, a deeper female port probably wouldn't have fit as nicely without using a larger lego brick, so its a reasonable trade-off.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] MPJ88:
After your inspiration im hopefully going to do something similar to you and one other member on here and go straight from micro usb to micro sd. Although it may be 4x2 lego brick size!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] je55ter:
You might be able to fit that in a 2x3 if you can find a small enough microsd slot/board.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Capt.PP:
How is it limit the number of devices you can plugged into? It's only half the size of stripped female USB. It's perfect for small profile devices like a phone. The only downside is in depth it's twice the size as your when laying the female USB on it's surface. But the trade off is worth it because you'll be holding your device and you want it to be as small as possible. If you're using a stand, it's even better.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] je55ter:
I don't actually have my N10 yet, but this picture using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 should illustrate the problem with the 90 degree design.

As you can see, this thumb drive i significantly fatter than the lego brick. If I had used the 90 degree design, there's no way I would have been able to plug it into the tablet with the thumb drive attached.

Now I plan to mostly use this adapter with really small devices like this:

http://www.amazon.com/elago-Mobile-microSDHC-Memory-Reader/dp/B002HGFKR8

For that device, the 90 degree design would probably work ok, but I wanted to still have the option of using fatter devices occasionally if the need arises, so I decided not to use the 90 degree layout.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Capt.PP:
Now, I understand what you meant but that isn't true. The device in the picture is Nexus 7, v.1 and v.2 works perfectly with any USB devices. These was build with a case-on in mind, it will take a thumbdrive.

aaaa

Since we're building for the smallest form factor of storage; Micro USB OTG to USB Adapter. It's only logical to buy the smallest USB microSD and it's only cost a $1.

Hey guys!

I've been assigned as one of the moderators for the Google Nexus 4 Forum, along with Papa Smurf151, 'cooleagle' and E.Cadro

Just a few things to keep in mind:

Please have a quick look at the Forum Rules whenever you get a chance (link in my signature).

Please treat other members how you would like to be treated.

For the Development teams to thrive, the development section needs to stay clean and tidy. Please make sure you post in the correct sections, and give us the heads-up if you see anything out-of-place, abusive, condoning warez etc.

Only original ROM development and innovative work-in-progress will be allowed in the Original Development Section.

All other ROM development, ports, hacks, and mods will be moved to the Development Section, and only if you created it. If not, it goes in General.

Reference, tutorials and how-to's belong in the General Section.

All questions belong in the Q & A Section, not in General or Development.

Do not create placeholder threads (including placeholder threads for ROMs, radios, guides, updates, tweaks, etc.).

Please no 'for sale' threads in ANY section. Use the Marketplace.

Also, if you see any thread that is in the wrong section or if you see any questionable posts/content, please don't hesitate to click the report (!) button.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions, comments, or issues pertaining to this forum.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

I'm very excited to be here and I cant wait to get my hands on this device. I have one question.... more so for clarification than anything else.

[Nexus 4 General] ogdobber:
hey efrant,

why do we need an "original android development" and an "android development"? This has never been an issue with nexus devices.

I understand, for instance, on a samsung device where there is one touchwiz modded rom after another.

on a nexus device, it is ALL original.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Even though we have the full source available, not everything built on that source would be considered "original", despite it being built from source. It has been decided that for something to be "original", it has to be significantly different than what is available. Syncing the AOSP repo, making a couple of changes and then building is not considered "original" for XDA purposes.

Please have a look at this for more clarification.
[Nexus 4 General] ogdobber:
i agree, but it is not a problem... with the galaxy s2 (where original development originated) it was a huge problem and the development thread was cluttered. it is a great idea for devices of this nature (touchwiz)

But if someone forks cm, cherry picks what they want, and maybe adds a few things of there own...it is still not original, even though it is built from source

(no touchwiz roms are built from source)<<< I know you know this but for people reading that might not*

So with the nexus 4, in original development we are going to have 3 roms (aokp, cm and miui) then kernels and a few misc threads

anyways, seems like a waste. and a solution to a problem that doesn't exist

see <galaxy nexus forum, nexus s forum, nexus one forum>
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
I agree to a certain extent, and your right, there won't be many ROMs in the Original Development section. (Hopefully there will be more dev discussion threads, which I will certainly allow -- assuming that there is some sort of original development going on. See this and this as examples.)

I spend a lot of time in the GNex forum, and in there, you see tons of very similar ROMs, e.g., deodexed stock ROMs, stock ROMs with busybox, etc., etc. By having an Original Dev section, it will separate those from the real "original" ROMs. And yes, it may not be needed, but it doesn't hurt.

In any case, it was a policy that was implemented site-wide for all new devices.

Hello, I recently updated my infuse to CM 10 and have been mostly enjoying it.

I have one huge problem however, which is that I can't sync my facebook contacts

I don't fully know why. I can get my gmail and g+ contacts, but not my facebook, and seemingly, more than half of my original contacts came from facebook (I'll be sure to fix that).

I need a fix to this, if anyone knows what to do to get it working. I'm not sure why it wont, I've tried redownloading the fb app, deleting its cache, and even removing all phone contact accounts and re adding the, but to no avail.

Can someone please help?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
if you ask me that contact sync feature is a huge privacy violation. having the facebook app give facebook your phone number, and anybody who also has your phone number can see you in the freind finder on their facebook app. when started seeing people i used to work with and other people who i had no buisness seeing their facebook account in the "people you may know" or whatever i deleted the app and let a few of those people know who probably would want to stay anonymous so that they could do the same.

at this point i'm not sure why i still have a facebook. but i probably wont for long. google+ is no better. i'll stick to the traditional google services in the future, ya know the ones that only allow me to see what's going on in my life.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MildMethod:
This one doesnt sync phone numbers which I find pointless. It will however bring over all your friends as contacts to your phone with their pictures attached... still pointless if you cant call/txt them.

Friendcaster has a built in fb to contact sync and from what I can see that doesnt import numbers either.
