Hi,

I recently flashed official V30a (Europe rom) for O2X and wanted to flash back to V20c (Starhub). However, I didnt realise that the partition and bootloader were different between ICS and Gingerbread. So now basically my device is in a bootloop and it's bricked. Tried enter Nvidia Mobile Boot Recovery (VOL UP + VOL DOWN) many many times but nothing happens on my PC's device manager screen; no device detected. It can only enter SW upgrade mode (VOL DOWN) but it's useless and i cannot flash any roms with ICS bootloader and I need to flash NVFLASH RECOVERY first.

I'm desperate as Nvidia Mobile Boot Recovery is the foolproof method to unbrick and it cannot work.

Any ideas??
[LG Optimus 2x] lgnd:
Try this one [TOOL] Full Brick Repair (Clean & Easy)

To nvflash mode remove battery push vol up/down then plug in usb.
[LG Optimus 2x] max21ns:
use smartflash to flash v20c, leave battery in phone and it will work :)

Hi

Does anybody have a CWM flashable Zip for the Nexus4 Boot Logo.

Just flashed a ROM & I have the boring old "Android" on startup.

I'd like to have the glowing Nexus "X" logo back again

Thanks.:good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] deadzombieseverywhere:
I'd just download a ROM with it and extract it. However, you might like this. Don't remember where i found it but it matches the nexus perfectly.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] deadzombieseverywhere:
Here's a better idea of what you're looking at.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] munchy_cool:
you mean boot animation
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] asawoszc:
I use the bootanimation provided above and like it. Works on my Galaxy Nexus also.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Here's the link for the original X from the Nexus One. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402764 I actually prefer this over the new X.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jackdonogy:
Tried flashing this in CWM and nothing changed...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Jordanooo:
Don't flash boot animations . use a root explorer to paste in /system/media
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zephiK:
What he said. Unless the person who posted it says its a flashable bootanimation.

To verify, open up the zip file. If it's a bunch of folders named /part0/ /part1/ etc then its not flashable.

Flashable: has a folder to /data/... or /system/media

chances are they're not flashable. but open to check.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] BrakerB:
Same here,

after I tried to get a custom boot animation it only shows the default "android" logo on boot.

I messed with the premissions in /styem/media/ can I revert that ?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jhawkins002:
+1 for the idea of a flashable version - specifically one compatible with Cyanogenmod :)

I have been running nightlies via CyanDelta and would LOVE to have a bootanimation zip that I could plop in the auto-install script to bring back the stock Nexus 'x' boot. Sadly every flashable bootanimation for the original nexus logo I have tried seems to install the files in the wrong location for CM.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zephiK:
store the bootanimation in /data/local/

after flashing a new nightly or whatever, it will keep your bootanimation. only way for it to reset is if you do a factory reset. enjoy.

(worked on my galaxy nexus, not sure if it works on N4 but it should, try it, shouldnt harm you.. pretty positive that its the same on N4)

edit: the bootanimation i linked earlier is a cwm flashable one. to manually do it just extract bootanimation.zip from the zip file downloaded.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jhawkins002:
Thanks for the tip! Just tried the manual push to /data/local but no joy. Upon boot it was blank, and the nightly flash restored the CM default in any event. Might be a permissions issue - should 644 and be owned by system, correct?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] blackadder1000:
Does anyone have a method to change the boot logo i.e. the Google logo?

I'm looking to personalise it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigwilly90210:
That's what I'm looking for... Changing the logo before the animation.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1888848

You're welcome.

Its a flashable zip too. Worked on my AOKP ROM back in the day, along with cyanogen.

Just read that threads OP. He himself extracted it from his G Nex, so it *TECHNICALLY SPEAKING* is safe to flash on our phones. But still, remember to have a nandroid for any *just in case* moment.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigwilly90210:
used to be able to do this on my Droid 1 and loved messing with it. It's not part of the kernel so it must be boot loader... do we have any way of tearing that down? I'm assuming we'd have to be unlocked... ha. Would love it if someone more knowledgeable would chime in.... thanks. :)

Hello,

I bought a Nexus 4 few weeks ago.

I have a question, my service provider is now compatible with DC-HSDPA (where I live it's not available, I still didn't try it).

Is that when you go in the ServiceMode-like (type *#*#4636#*#* in dialer) while you are in DC-HSDPA, the phone displays something like "DC-HSDPA" or "DC-HSPAP" or then "DC-HSPA+" in network type ?

I would add an option in my kangs to display directly "DC" in status bar, but before I need to know what cell says when it is on DC network...

Best regards

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] D_U_C_A_N_H:
Hi all,

I'm new to this ROM and just try it few days ago. All about this ROM is it's REALLY GOOD, include skin and features inside. But the problem about the RAM really made me mad. The creator said he had already added Zipalign so will be more free RAM to make the system faster, but after installed it i realize that always lack of avaiable RAM (from 70 - 80 MB, honestly) so everthing is a little bit slow. Every task take more time to start and the phone lag very often.

Anybody have the same problem or know how to fix this please help me. I'm newbie so can't post to development area to directly ask bulletproof :(

thank all :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Malhar0101:

Hey bro,

Try Smart Ram Booster. I works amazingly well. I personally use it and always have a minimum of 200mb free RAM.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Shaky156:
Recently google said OTG isnt supported on the nexus 4 device

So curiosity has got the better of me and I've requested for people to test a few things, this is a development thread created for USB OTG and getting it to work.

What we know:

The snapdragon s4 soc support otg (running all the time reads mdm as usb device)

Slimport support OTG

kernel supports OTG

Unsure about ROM

This is created from my mobile device, when i receive net access ill update this more

Kernel i built 2 weeks ago or so, supports OTG

If anyone with an OTG Cable can test and provide both logcat and dmesg when plugging in a device, to make it easier would prefer ps3 controller connecting. Ontop of that do 2 tests 1 without supplying power and 1 with supplying power.

Newer kernel http://d-h.st/o0O

Installation ZIP, http://d-h.st/o0O

Works on any ROM

Remember to modify build.prop and add ro.usb_host=1
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Shaky156:
Think ive just figured it out new kernel will be uploaded & mod :D lets hope it works need testers
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Shaky156:
Ill test the kernel to make sure its good and boots fine then ill drop the kernel, but i can only test to a certain extent i dont own an OTG Cable, also youll need to modify @ ROM level

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Shaky156:

is it a known issue that N4 doesn't have USB +5V power supply?

So what's the purpose of this test? even if you manage to make it work, it won't be useful
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] estallings15:
Pay attention. He asked for testers to supply their own power as well. If a setup with external power is useful for even one person and he gets it working, then this has served a purpose.

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] FISKER_Q:
Yes, OTG was disabled by Google during developement because they found out it couldn't supply 5V

I believe in the general complaint thread about no OTG someone spoke of a phone that wasn't able to supply 5V either, but it was infact doable after some modifications(software ones), so it may very well be that similar modifications here could work :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Shaky156:
Somethings funny

Cause if google advertised the device as USBOTG supported, then theyve setup the kernel for usbotg enabled, theyre saying the issue is no 5v, wouldnt supplying power bring USBOTG back? It isnt, so obviously it was taken away on purpose. If we can get around this and get USBOTG working is theee question.

Try this (it may or may not work)

Launch PC Odin & get rom ready (I recommend LiteningRom [NB, it is custom rom that can be flashed via Odin]

turn ph off & remove battery...

plug ph into pc (NB, battery still out...)

**now you may need extra set of hands here (I managed it by myself though)**

now, hold the button combo to get ph in to d/l mode...

keeping the d/l button combo depressed... put battery back into ph...

hopefully ph will show d/l mode ready on screen & it will be seen by Odin :fingers-crossed:

(if above worked) flash Litening Rom & count your lucky stars...

NB, this saved me when my S2 had BSOD.... i.e. nothing showed on screen after flashing a recommended kernel (by a more experienced user/member - not the OP)

always read up before doing anything kernel/recovery related :cool:

Has anyone else experienced any random reboots or issues with the device obtaining an ip address?

My wife and I each got an optimus g the same day. Mine has rebooted at least 4 times and I've picked it up to find it powered down at least twice. Three of the times mine rebooted my wife noticed that her wifi had disconnected and would not reconnect (so it seems that my reboots are somehow related to wifi?). I've also had the wifi dhcp issue a few times. I've asked my wife multiple times over the last few days about her wifi and it has only disconnected the times my phone rebooted.

My hardware is just the standard Bell FibreOP wireless router. No other devices are showing any problems and I have many devices in the house.

Ive also had random reboots though I don't know that they're related to wifi in my case since.. when mine reboots I'm usually in a typical window such as email, a website etc.. in most cases I'm not even using wifi yet something still triggers it to reboot at random

Oddly enough I never experienced it rebooting until after I had rooted it so maybe that's related??
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
I think that was a software bug, cause its gone after update for korean optimus G.

Before, phone was used to randomly reboot while listening a music with screen turned off.
[LG Optimus G (International)] orellius:
I don't yet have any random reboots, but if I restart my phone, it loses the WIFI password every single time. Either that or it just forgets the network as a whole, which is why I need to re-enter the password.

Either way, it's pretty annoying.

I second that, same problem, really annoying especially since I have a pretty secure password at home lol.

Thanks, great thread and learn some good tips for Windows 8 PC. How do these tips works on tablet where mouse pointer is not available?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
on tablet tapping the screen in a location is simply a mouse left click (unless the software specifically supports touch) and then pressing and holding for a brief period of time is a right click. This is actually a step backwards as on windows 7 you could do a much faster right click by pressing 1 finger down and then immediately tapping next to it with another finger.

With a wacom stylus, they are actually detected slightly above the screen. This I think allows you to move the cursor around without having to click in that location as you would on a regular touchscreen. Tapping with the stylus is then left click. Some styluses have either a button you hold as you tap or the ability to tap with the back of the pen as a right click. Hovering the stylus over the screen to move the cursor around also allows you to trigger rollover textboxes on websites or tooltips I think. Not 100% sure having had only limited time with a stylus equipped tablet.

Alternately. There isnt a single windows tablet out there that doesn't have USB and bluetooth capabilities. So you could use a USB mouse or a bluetooth mouse.
