I've noticed that the iOS app reads out biographies for people, and is generally more vocal. Is it just me?

If I search "Who is Bill Gates" it shows me a card on my Nexus 7, but the app will read it out on iOS. However, if I ask "Who is Bill Gates married to?" I will get a vocal response. When will I get this functionality?

I updated to 4.2 today and am quite disappointed this wasn't patched. This is a small gripe, and 4.2 is really awesome overall.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farmtool33:
hi all,

Since the Search button isn't working atm i make a new threat... ('Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience.')

So my question is:

Does anyone has connected the TF300T Tab to a external screen ? is the resolution good? when i want to play Dead Trigger , would i have a lot of benefit with a external screen?

I have a 21" monitor with VGA and DVI , i found online a Micro HDMI to VGA cable , so that should work right ?

Aslo would external USB hub's work on the USB-port on the TF300T ?

Thank you

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erroneus:
Normally I can figure out these things my self or find somebody else who has this problem, but not this time and It's driving me crazy.

My Nexus 7 is rooted and bootloader is unlocked and I've have been into custom recovery before, but now it don't want to launch the damn thing, it keeps getting stuck on the Android on it's belly with the red !

I've tried:

The normal way - Holding down power button+both volume buttons and then choosing recovery from the menu and with a USB cable attached to the unit. Result = Stuck on Android with red !

From quick boot app and Nexus Toolkit - Rebooting into to recovery, same result. Both with USB cable in and out.

I also tried reflashing the clockworkmod touch recovery from Nexus 7 Toolkit, no errors and I remembered to use the option 5, so the stock recovery image was renamed. Still no good, didn't leave a working recovery behind.

The latest thing I tried was booting the custom recovery without flashing recovery (option 10 from Nexus Toolkit) and then I updated to Android 4.2 Before I rebooted, the temporary clockworkmod touch recovery warned me that I would loose my recovery and my root and if I wanted to fix it, I choose yes to both. My root didn't go away, but I still don't have a working custom recovery I can boot from the bootloader or eg. the quick boot app.

What am I missing here?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtiangha:
To be on the safe side, just reflash CWM. That should fix it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
You got stock recovery.

To get the menu, once you see the android with the red "!", press and hold "Power" and then press "Volume Up", then let go of the buttons.

As the previous poster suggested, flash CWM and all shall be better.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erroneus:
Thanks for the fast replies.

I had an idea that It was stock recovery, didn't knew about the button combination, thanks!

I'm gonna try to flash touch CWM again.

And now it works... well that's strange, no idea why it didn't work before, when I flashed touch CWM from Nexus Tookit.

Oh well, I got my problem fixed and at the same time got more clever, thanks again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sim2:
Same/similar problem

I flashed the 4.2 OTA .zip from CWM this morning and it worked fine. As expected I lost root. Unexpectedly, I also lost CWM and I have been unable to flash a custom recovery ever since.

I started off trying to re-flash CWM with the Nexus 7 Toolkit v3.2. When that failed a few times, I also tried TWRP with the same result.

When I say "failed" I mean that toolkit flashes with no errors but when I select recovery after flashing, I get the google logo, then a black screen, then the google logo again, and then a normal boot. If I reboot and manually go into recovery mode I get the Dead Android logo and PWR + VOLUP gives me stock recovery, which I guess is to be expected since I am unable to rename the recovery restore files.

After giving up on the toolkit, I downloaded CWM and flashed it manually with fastboot but I'm getting the same results.

Anyone else run into this? I can only assume 4.2 has introduced some incompatibility with existing tools/recovery images so I'm just going to wait and hope someone sorts this out. 4.2 seems to be working fine though I'd like to get root back.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Hm, works fine for me.

After applying the 4.2 OTA I rebooted to bootloader, did a "fastboot flash recovery", went into the CWM directely after flashing it and upon selecting "reboot device now" from CWM it asked me if it should disable the recovery flash from the system.

Working fine since then, no problems.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sim2:
When I do a "fastboot flash recovery", the image copy appears to work but the Nexus 7 stays in fastboot mode when it's finished. If I manually select recovery, I get the Google logo > black screen > Google Logo > normal boot.

What version of CWM did you flash? I used touch recovery 6.0.1.0 from here: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager Will try non-touch version today.

It looks like a few others have run into the same problem. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1990904

This could have been a pre-existing problem as I don't think I've used recovery since the 4.1.2 update.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

So I finally got a custom recovery installed by doing a "fastboot flash recovery" of the latest TWRP (2.3.1.1) from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103

Neither of the current CWM recoveries (6.0.1.0) would work for me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Rob:
I swear I have been having the exact same problem. I will try the other recovery. Question, is yours a 32 GB version? I doubt it's related but still worth a check. Thanks for your info.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laxet:
SOLUTION: I've had the problem where recovery won't load, it just displays a black screen and loads back into Android.

It seems that ClockworkMod recovery doesn't work with Android 4.2 (at least, for me). I tried reflashing but that didn't work. I wiped my entire device and used TWRP recovery instead, and now I can get back into recovery.

I downloaded the 2.3.1.1 version, works fine! http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper

How to remove Google Ads from any APK​

This tutorial will learn you how to remove Google Ads from any APK (app), the ads are a specific part in the source code that can can be removed easily without damaging the app.

Any ways, I encourage you to keep supporting the app developers by buying their apps. The outcome of this tutorial is made personal use only and you may not share (or even sell) the apps you cleaned from ads.

Requirements:

- Java 6/7 (JRE or JDK)

- APK Multi Tools

- ADB

Youtube Video:

[youtube]Pw-e2m_TBxA[/youtube]

or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw-e2m_TBxA

Instructions:

Step 1. Download and install/extract all needed packages. (Install JRE/JDK 6/7 and unpack APK Multi Tool and ADB)

Step 2. Looking what apps you have installed on your phone to pull (make sure you're in debugging mode)

- In ADB folder, run adb.bat

- Enter: "cd data/app"

- Enter: "ls", now your apps will show up

- Copy an apk name by right clicking in the cmd window and click mark, then mark the text and right click again to copy

- Now terminate adb.bat by either pressing Control+C and enterying "y" or closing the window.

Step 3. Pulling the apk

- In ADB folder, hold shift and right click in an empty place in the folder (not on some file/folder) > Open Command window here

(or press windows key + r and enter cmd, now enter "cd C:\your\adb\folder\here")

- once in command prompt, enter: "adb pull /data/app/[right click > paste]"

- After pulling the apk it will appear in your ADB directory. Now copy the apk

Step 4. APK Multi Tools Setup

- In APK-Multi-Tool folder, open setup.bat

- Enter "3" and press enter

- Enter "00" and press enter to exit setup

- Browse to /place-apk-here-for-modding/ and press Control + V to paste your pulled apk

Step 5. APK-Multi-Tool Decompilation

- In APK-Multi-Tool folder, open script.bat and press enter

- Enter: "24" and press enter, now choose your apk, probably #1

- Enter: "9" and press enter to decompile your apk

- Browse to the /projects/apkname folder

Step 6. Removing the ads

- In APK-Multi-Tool\projects\apkname.apk folder, open the smali folder

- Then browse to the com folder and then to the google folder

- Now you will see a folder called ads. remove this folder.

Step 7. Compiling the apk

- In APK Multi Tool, enter: "12" to start compiling the apk

- When a new text dialog appears, enter: "3" and press enter

- When the "keep folder" question shows press enter

- Now your signed apk (without ads) can be found in the APK-Multi-Tool\place-apk-here-for-modding folder

- Copy the apk (with "signed" in front of the name) and paste it in the ADB directory

Step 8. Installing the result

- Select the apk and press F2 (or change name) to copy then name to the clipboard then press enter to discard the name change

- Now, hold shift and right click in an empty place in the folder (not on some file/folder) > Open Command window here

(or press windows key + r and enter cmd, now enter "cd C:\your\adb\folder\here")

- Enter "adb install [right-click > paste]"

- Now the app will successfully install! Enjoy!

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jimsiv:
Very good tutorial Brood!!! But what if there is no smali folder in the apk? I saw that in some apps after decompiling there is not such a folder although there is ads in the application! Any ideas?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks, I just discovered that the ad (service) in wordfreud (free) exists in EVERY folder inside the smali folder. And the ads can also exist in the resources it seems, just got noticed that this apk is 100% overfilled with ads in every possible way, making it even more fun to do xd
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] DualJoe:
You're deleting the ads folder. Not every app might accept that without crashing or use the ad implementation like this. They could put the classes somewhere else as well.

The best way imho is still DroidWall (also available on Google Play) that simply disallows every app to connect to the internet. Also hosts files block these ads individually. I recommend mvps hosts file (search for "hosts.zip" on the site). Goes into /system/etc.

If you want to go even further you can install tcpdump on Android, capture the traffic (tcpdump -s 0 -w /sdcard/tcpdump.pcap) and eg. load it up with Wireshark to find any DNS requests you might want to manually add/insert into your hosts file. For long-time capturing you might want to limit tcpdump to port 53 or something similar.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] XeLLaR*:

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Diljinder:
There is a big caveat with removing ads with this method, which drove me nuts, which is that not every apk can be compiled back successfully after removing "ads" folder. Heck, some apks couldn't be re-compiled even without making any changes. Some worked without hassle. It's not very reliable method, to say the least.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] TheEdgeOfRage:
De and re-compiling is always a risk, but you can't loose anything except 15-30 of your time. If you ask me it pays off in the end.
