[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartanhooah:
I deleted my GV number from my contact on her phone and made a new one with just that number. Texts from my carrier number still went to the GV contact. Do I still need to delete stuff?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
It's unclear what you're saying. You are texting carrier to carrier with no GV number on either end right?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartanhooah:
That's what I think I'm doing. I send a text from my normal messaging app, which doesn't know about GV (as far as I'm aware - there's nothing in the settings about it). It comes in on my wife's iPhone from my GV number. She responds in that thread, it goes to GV and I don't get any notification.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
Unless you're using cyanogenmod with voice+ enabled or are using another app that hijacks native sms with gv, that should not be happening.

There is some scenario where GV will rewrite the number, but I can't remember when that happens. At the least, I don't think that's the case here. Either way, you can goto the desktop version of the GV webpage and goto settings->calls to fiddle with rewriting IIRC.

But again, that sounds extremely unlikely. What happens if you text somebody else..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartanhooah:
Hmm. I am using CyanogenMod, so I might have poked that setting at some time.

...Yup, looks like I did. That should clear it up then, right?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
Uh huh.

Voice+ catches incoming GV SMS intents, then prevents GV from announcing a new SMS while downloading the text via GV HTTP and sending it to the regular sms on the phone. Likewise, it catches regular outgoing sms and diverts to GV.

You'll still need to have the GV app installed and configured but it shouldn't ever alert, and instead let you text natively or using whatever other sms client.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaShyGuy:
Hi everybody,

Im trying to fix my problem myself for about a week now, but seems like my nooby knowledge is not enough to get it done...

First of all the description of my problem:

I used to play Rage of Bahamut (in apps described as v2.0) on the Emulator-x86 (ICS 4.0.4 with gpu acceleration). Everything worked fine, but about 1 week ago the admins of the game made an update and my old version stucks at a "404 page not found" page directly after I enter username and password and press the login button.

What I have tried:

I tried several Android versions and app versions on the emulator. The main problem is that newest apk files contain a .so library and I'm not able to start the app after an installation by adb. I tried with libhoudini, but no success.

I checked the http requests and responses to the game server to find out why the older version stucks after the login and I realized that the server denies my "device". I cant figure out what phone information would be needed to cheat their server.

Please dont tell me to use Bluestacks. I know the game works on it, but its not really playable. I would like to use my speedy Emulator-x86. ;)

Anybody out there who knows about my problem or simply needs a challenge? Please help me to run Rage of Bahamut on a emulator x86.

Thanks and Regards

DaShyGuy

Hi All,

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but now and then the bottom left area of the screen flickers a little. Mostly on non white backgorund.. i.e. Grey. Have brightness up full and the auto dimming unckecked).

Didnt see any other post with info on this hence the new topic.

Does this sound like a faulty unit.. even though its intermittent, or just some sort of glitch.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] josephnero:
I have no flickering.maybe its model specific or a faulty unit
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
I have it too, but I don't know whether it's just a faulty unit or something else.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mr_torture:
I don't think there's anything "faulty" about that. It sometimes happens on comp LCD screens too, with certain shades of gray, especially when there is color bending betwen different shades of gray.

It's like visible refresh rate or something.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
OK guys, lately I've been seeing a little too many people complaining about bootloops and UI crashes, etc when installing/flashing a new rom. This guide includes installing an update of the rom you're currently on that has been re-based as well.

The only reason I'm making this guide is so that users stop filling threads with these issues that are caused by user errors (99% of the time). I haven't bootlooped or had any problems at all when flashing a new rom and I can promise you that I am a huge flashaholic. Here are the steps for a TOUCHWIZ rom:

1. Download rom and calculate md5 checksum (this can be done using ES file explorer from the play store)

2. Reboot into recovery and make a nandroid backup! Can't stress this enough...

3. Do a FULL wipe. This is where I notice the error that most people make. You must do a wipe of data, cache, dalvik cache, preload AND SYSTEM.

- Don't just do a Factory reset, you must manually wipe system as well to prevent any issues. In TWRP this will be under advanced wipe, and in Philz touch recovery this is done by selecting the "Full wipe to install a new rom" option.

4. AFTER wiping all of the above mentioned partitions, then look for the rom in your internal/external SD card and install/flash it.

- if the rom has an aroma installer, sometimes it'll include a full wipe option in there, this doesn't mean that you can skip the full wipe done in step 2 of this guide.

5. Allow the rom to install everything and then choose the reboot option within your chosen recovery.

6. Let the phone reboot, input all of your info in the initial setup and then let the phone sit for a couple minutes. After this I usually reboot the phone again as a habit.

If you follow these steps to the T you shouldn't have any problems. I've yet to bootloop once on this phone with any rom. Now go and flash away!

Other possible issues/fixes:

- if you have a 64gb SD card, your current kernel or the kernel included with the rom you're flashing might not support 64gb SD cards in EXfat format. A fix for this would be to either flash another kernel that has 64gb SD card support or to copy everything from your SD card to a computer, format your EXfat sd card to fat32 format and then retransfer the files back to your sd card.

-some people have reported that moving the zip file from the internal SD to the external SD or vice versa has fixed flashing issues so make sure to try this as well, not sure why this works but it does sometimes.

-if a specific cause can't be diagnosed it's always recommended to restore your phone back to complete stock using Odin to flash stock firmware. Here is a link to the stock firmwares (I take no credit for that thread): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2335109

*Will add more info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Just in case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shengwang917:
The twrp has the system wipe option. I don't see that with Cwm, just factory rest/data, and the two caches
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
-Data wipe/Factory reset. In Philz CWM version when you chose this it stated "Wipe phone for new ROM"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Every recovery as far as I've seen has a system wipe option, just have to look for it. Only mention TWRP because I haven't used the other recoveries in a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shengwang917:
Question, for restoring nandroid backup : before I first started to flash roms last week. I did the following with Twrp, backup, - wipe data and caches(no system), then I backup again before moving forward with the flash. My question is: can I just restore my second backup with just the system without the data.?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Why do you backup twice? And why would you restore just the system partition? You might as well just reflash the rom so you don't waste space having a system only backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
A nandroid will restore your phone exactly how it was when you made the back up.

If I read it correctly, on the 2nd backup, you did a wipe before you did a backup.

So if you restored that 2nd backup, it will have wiped ROM (no data and will need to set up phone again). Hope that make sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shengwang917:
Yeah that's what I want, I want to go back to that clean clean rom, I don't need my user data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Then don't restore a backup for that. Just reflash the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shengwang917:
Cause I'm OCD when comes to things like this, seriously lol. I move all the backups to the external SD and my computer lol. So not too worried about taking up space. I just want to see if everything is working normally with the clean stock rom. I.e. Able to send MMS. Read and write to ext SD properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Well if you just want to go back to a fresh clean install there's no point in restoring a backup. Just reflash the rom bro. Any kernel changes or system app changes will still be there if you restore a system backup but won't be there if you reflash the rom (after doing full wipe that is).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shengwang917:
This is it right ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2267895 , I think there is a Odin back to stock thread on here too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Ok, now you lost me. What is your ultimate goal in this? Back to complete stock like out of the box?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shengwang917:
Sorry lol, yeah i want to go back to right out of the box stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Yeah follow that thread. Please hit thanks if I helped at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Robdizz:
After I flash unwizzed rom in aroma after it installs everything it says assert failed : package_extract_file("boot.img","/temp/boot.img") ?? It boots the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen then turns off then back on then back into recovery.. been doing this for alot of ROMs i try to flash :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tunasty:
For cwm:

Mounts/Storage - Mount/System.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Not sure what that could be. Did you check the md5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Robdizz:
I've been asking everyone it does this on alot of roms i flash the only one that worked was Alpha 5.0 but tried to go to 7.0 and did same thing. How do u check the Md5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Did you follow the steps of this guide? I've been doing this for every single rom and haven't had 1 issue flashing. To check md5 download ES file explorer. Then find the file, go to properties and then calculate md5 checksum. Make sure it matches the md5 posted by the OP of the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Robdizz:
I've never had this problem on my S3 but okay ill try it now, Yes I've followed all these steps I even went back to stock non root, rooted again and still same problem :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
What recovery are you using? Exact version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Robdizz:
2.5.0.2 when i try to calculate it it says fail to calculate..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Hmm... That's strange. Did you let it calculate without messing with the phone? It take a couple minutes for a large file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shengwang917:
How do you check the md5? I have the e's file explorer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
I wrote that like 5 posts up bro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Go the the file you want to check and highlight it (check it)>Click on More tab>click on Properties>click on Show filesum> check MD5 box and hit calculate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Robdizz:
Well I wiped everything got a new download and everything this time after it was done it didn't say anything about the boot img but then it just went to the samsung galaxy s4 screen turned off then went to recovery...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Have you tried going back to stock with Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Robdizz:
Can you guide me to the stock root? maybe if i try to start over again ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
It'll be stickied in the general section. Just follow the guide in there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Robdizz:
Well i'm 100% confused .. I've went back to stock followed everything the sticky told me to do with odin.. rooted and still same problem ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Tell us exactly what you did. Version numbers and all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Quick question. What kind of external SD card do you have? Is it a 64gb?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Robdizz:
it's 4gb. And i went back to stock and did this http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/05/how-root-cwm-recovery-on-galaxy-s4-gt.html
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Ok, so you verified the md5? Did you make sure to wipe SYSTEM in addition to data, dalvik cache, cache and preload before flashing?

What rom are you trying to flash anyways?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Robdizz:
Yes i've done this many times wiped completely and all. I even tried with CWM and TWRP .. And I've tried with [ROM] ? Evil UnWizzed v2 [AROMA] Xperia Edition 4.2.2 [8-17-13
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Try another rom and see if you get the same issue.

[Nexus Q General] ianandamy:
I along with the others in the community have recently been served by GOOGLE with the pull of the apk servers.

If you happen to hard reset your Q then your Q can no longer be setup rendering it useless.

I am willing to payout $50.00 to any dev that can engineer an apk that will allow the user to setup a stock NEXUS Q without googles servers.

The APK will have to do the following -> access and setup the initial setup, this includes, wifi, bluetooth, nfc and adb debugging to be able to load APK's to the systems as I am sure many will be coming that will make the Q worth building this for, hence why GOOGLE pulled the servers because they saw this coming ....all as the original apk did but without the GOOGLE servers or need for servers.

I have 3 of these units and they are great for music, I love the internal amps and want to retain all the internal functions of the ports, also the audio is better quality when stock compared to rooted and cm10.1'ed.

I have one working setup still, one on the shelf and one with cm10.1 working with cheapcast.

Bounty is as follows this will be updated as members add their payment amounts.

IAN-$50.00

***If you are going to attempt this or have questions DEVS email me is best.***

Thanks-Ian
[Nexus Q General] ianandamy:
put this to the top sticky please
[Nexus Q General] Lokifish Marz:
Even if somebody makes an apk, there's still the issue of getting it on a stock locked Q.
[Nexus Q General] ianandamy:
it would be used from your phone like the factory apk
[Nexus Q General] Lokifish Marz:
The problem I see is the Q's original BT authentication method has to hacked. If this passes through the servers then this is a serious hurdle. You cannot pair anything that requires you enter a pin on the Q as the dialog doesn't even exist. Considering how crippled stock is, unlocking and installed either a stock based ROM or CM10 would be my suggestion.
[Nexus Q General] ianandamy:
Well if someone can write a stock rom or explain how to get adb debugging via usb working without the need to authorized it that would be a start. Because adb via wifi doesnt get the prompt and once you hookup a mouse in host mode you can not get the same usb to mount adb.

Any suggestions??

That is the biggest road block for me, while i know you can work around that it is a big crippling part of the q.

Is there enough interest for a dev to look at the factory setup procedure and see if they can re engineer around needing the servers? ? IDK
[Nexus Q General] Lokifish Marz:
There has been a working stock based ROM for about a year now. Prior to Google killing the Q function it worked as a dual mode with Nova Launcher as a desktop. Even now the desktop mode still works. All that's needed is a keyboard. Also ADB starts on boot even on a fresh install and even after a hard reset. In the current test build everything except Q mode and BT work.
[Nexus Q General] ianandamy:
Are you talking about the one I used in my tutorial?

In dual boot does it have external AMP support?

So it does not prompt you for authorizing ADB once you try to? all 4.2.2 roms include that unless someone deved around that.

Yes I can adb in recovery on the rom I am using but not once booted into the rom it comes up unauthorized.

My Q's must have internal amp support. That is the whole point of the Q, if it doesn't why wouldn't I just go get a Denon Receiver and plug in a chrome cast??
[Nexus Q General] Lokifish Marz:
Which tutorial, what ROM?

The ROM I'm talking about supports every function that the stock Q does. BT never worked correctly without a workaround on the Q initially. The needed support was missing in the stock firmware when they released it.

It does not require ADB auth to connect.

Again, it supports every function that the stock Q does as well as having Nova as a "desktop".

(hint- check my sig)
[Nexus Q General] ianandamy:
So how do you log in to it without the nexus q apk not working now since its stock based?
[Nexus Q General] darb:
I'm game to try this on my one rooted q running cm10.1 is it possible to and chromecast support or cheapcast to it?
[Nexus Q General] Lokifish Marz:
Are you talking ADB or initial setup? If you are talking ADB, then there is no login. Simply connect the Q to your computer and start ADB. If you are talking inital setup then you connect a KB and hit the "HOME" key and it skips setup and takes you to Nova launcher.

Your best option is to use BubbleUPnP and AirCast or similar app to fill in the gaps. Depending on how things go I may have an update in the next week or so.
[Nexus Q General] ianandamy:
that would be great if you could.

thanks
[Nexus Q General] ianandamy:
how is that updated rom coming for the q?
[Nexus Q General] Lokifish Marz:
Not well. Check the weather in San Diego (over 90deg) and imagine no AC and the only ventilation is air from the outside.
[Nexus Q General] nimmzwei:
Upnpcast...

For everyone still looking for Chromecast support: You may try upnpcast by bubbleguum. It runs as a service on your phone / tablet and enables you to cast to any dlna renderer on your network.

The cool thing about it is, that it works right out of the gmusic app on your phone. As soon as a dlna device is detected on your network,the chromecast button will appear in the gmusic app. Just select the renderer you want to play to and you are good to go.

To play to the Q, install cm10.1 and a dlna renderer (I use bubbleupnp). Running for hours now without a prob. Note though, that the app is 1.99 for unlimited use.
[Nexus Q General] Lokifish Marz:
Due to the oppressive heat in my home I purchased some portable A/C units. It cost me going to and speaking at the Big Android BBQ this year which kind of bites as it was to one my last one for a while (baby on the way). Good news is that it is cool enough to run my box and now have a ton of time to dev.

How would you guys fell about xbmc/yatse vs bubble? I'll post more details as they become available.
[Nexus Q General] ianandamy:
I installed your ROM last night working well. Is there a way to default it to boot to the launcher without it being attached to a keyboard or display seems some of the other streaming options don't load till it hits the launcher screen other then that cheapcast is always working for me. Wish we could also get the q to sleep when unused and turn off the ring.
[Nexus Q General] mannberg:
Can we build a chromecast rom without using cheapcast? I.e lunch the same software as the chromecast device on our Q's?

If we build chromium content shell for android and feed it the app.conf from the chromecast firmware OTA (I cant post links so I cant post the full app.conf)? Or do we need something more? Any linux/android experts have a clue? We can build the content_shell using the build instructions on the chromium wiki @ goggle code. (I cant post outside links). I cant find any web-server or something like that in the chromecast OTA 12940 firmware dump I found on the internet. Does the content_shell include a web-server?
