[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stylez Ray.:
This thread made me realize how cool it would be to have more screen-off effects.

We have so many customization options: statusbar and navbar transparency, list view animations...just imagine there would be more effects build in the ROMS easy switchable in ROM settings.

If it is even possible. How neat would this be?!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] TheeWolf:
So does anyone know how to implement the fade effect on our device without using any Xposed modules?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yaatzek:
Just close and open your eyes slowly when turning screen on/off ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] AshtonTS:
Seems legit.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Jamal Ahmed:
Why are we not funding this...?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stylez Ray.:
I would like to do some brainstorming and hopefuly get attention from some people who know how to do such a thing...

We know there a flashable versions of animation mods, like screen transition.

Couldn't even this be integrated in some kind of ROM Control?

If this is doable I think some options for screen off animations shouldn't be a problem?!

I mean some roms even have the option to use the CRT effect as screen on animation so it looks like it isn't integrated too deep in the system.

Someone knows where the CRT effect is located?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] TToivanen:
Sure, it is in services/java/com/android/server/power/DisplayPowerController.java

You got to compile Android from source to be able to alter the animation. See AOKP and CM github for reference.

Has anyone tried jellybam. I could never get it to boot. Has anyone gotten this ROM to boot up. get.jellybam.com
[Epic 4G General] AndyYan:
It's never tailored for our device to work properly, though I don't exactly know why. In shorter words, JellyBam is not available for Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] DaKillaWilla:
Some roms require you to delete the boot animation for it to boot. Try that before you give up on it.
[Epic 4G General] osbaldov:
I'll give it a try and see if this works. Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] osbaldov:
I just deleted the bootanimation and found that it still doesn't work. It just a bad build

Has anyone seen or heard anything about a charging dock with a 3.5mm audio jack? I had a pogo dock with my Gnex and loved it. I stream Pandora 8 hours a day so being able to just toss the phone into a dock is better then picking up the headphone jack and the charger.

With 4.1.x rom's,host file went to system/etc but with my 4.3 AOKP rom it doesn't seem to be working?

Also I have a 'new' emulated folder which some apps use as default?

This folder seems to mirror internal storage but there's also 2 folders in there that seem to be the same?

These 2 folders are nearly 700mb in size which means they take up nearly 1.5gb :(

Is this a 4.3 feature?

rom toolbox has ad blocking and it has 2 places to put the host file.

2-system/data/data

So far using 2- seems to be working...........

do you mean rom toolbox?

I only used that for automatic backup of apps when I install.

But that doesn't seem to work anymore with 4.3?

I was using old version 5.5.1 though as it was still a free feature then.

I usually use just a host file but it does not seem to be working with 4.3 for some reason.

I found a different host file now,at 555mb it's a lot bigger than my 555k file and works.

I also read google are also on the case of ad blocking apps.............

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdflames:
I am looking for a way to root my Nexus 4 (and 7 later on should be able to figure that out through this) without flashing CWM or TWRP. Essentially, I just want to root and keep OTA updates. At the current time, 4.3 has been just fine for me, however I would like root for certain applications. I have heard you can use TWRP and still get OTA updates, but it seems every thread I've checked has lots of people saying yes and no to that, so I am not sure.

Is there anyway to flash the zip without installing a custom recovery? I have been searching for a couple days and have gotten no definite answer. Of course I could just not be using the right search words as always.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Yes you can use the fastboot boot command to temporarily go into twrp (instead of permanently flashing it) and flash the root zip. After you reboot twrp will be gone, and it will go back to stock recovery. Search up 'oode' on YouTube. He's got a video that shows you how to do this (on the n7, but the steps are essentially the same as for the n4...just different recovery file)

Sent using xda-developers app
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gianptune:
I tried doing this, but anything I load with "fastboot boot blablabla.img" doesnt boot correctly. The custom recovery is actually running, as i can connect with adb shell and I get a root shell, but it is completely black screen. I tried with both CWM images, twrp, and even the stock recovery.img. they all load to blackscreen when I use "fastboot boot" but they work fine when I do "fastboot flash recovery blablabla.img".

So, if you dont mind navigating the recovery blind, then sure, you can load up a custom CWM, then find your way somehow to the "install zip-> install from sideload" option. Then grab the installer zip for kouch's superuser and run "adb sideload superuser.zip". wait about 30 seconds, and then "adb shell", and finally "reboot".
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Instead of using "fastboot boot" try this command instead:

fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot blablabla.img
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gianptune:
Holy hell. That worked. Is this documented anywhere? I've had similar issues where I cannot even fastboot the stock kernel on my Galaxy s4 Google Edition. Maybe it needs a similar fix?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdflames:
Thanks for this, I knew there would be some how to do this. Will try it here in a bit and see how it goes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
I just use CF Auto Root by Chainfire a few minutes ago to root. Pretty simple and fast.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdflames:
Wow, this was so straight forward that I slapped myself afterwards.

It is literally just "fastboot boot twrp.img"

then you just flash the zip that you have on your nexus 4 and you win, worked very fast and easy.

Thank you very much, I will remember this when I go to do my Nexus 7.

Also you know when you push real hard on an screen how it makes well hard to explain dont know what its called but I dont have to put much pressure on the screen and its like im putting a ton of pressure on it to make it do that.

[LG Optimus G (International)] player911:
This is about the Nexus 5 and LG G2 relation and trying to get some questions answered about the Nexus 4 and the Optimus G.

Since LG is doing all of these phones, how well does one translate from one to the other? Such as Nexus Phones obviously have great Devs. Does the Nexus work carry over easily to the LG counterparts? Are most of the internals the same? Any differences between models?

My work sticks me with Verizon and I have a Galaxy Nexus now. I was hoping the N5 would have the big V support but I doubt it. So looks like the G2 is the closest thing (the N5 is based off the G2).

Outside of hardware defects, is there anything really stopping development on the Optimus G compared to the Nexus 4? Or does things swing back and forth pretty good? Is there worry about future support? Kinda like the ole' HTC Nexus One and Desire days?
[LG Optimus G (International)] wargreymon89:
As I understood, porting roms between N4 and OG is pretty much cake (though I had some trouble, guess I missed something), biggest problem to get fixed once stuff started rolling was camera, and AT&T had some GPS problem. So the only thing "stopping" development is the smaller community, however, the roms we have are top notch imho. But considering G2 will be a much more popular device than OG as it looks, once bootloader gets unlocked I bet there will be plenty more devs to both port and build roms from source.
[LG Optimus G (International)] player911:
Sounds good. I'm in no rush. By December, we'll know if Verizon is getting a N5 or not. There seems to be lots of stuff going through FCC right now and I read that there are 2 devices labeled as "Nexus" (Nexus 5), one having the GSM+LTE and another CDMA+Verizon LTE.

The LG G2x was the only non-nexus phone I had and I hated it. Since it will be a company phone, I don't have the option of switching to another device.

But yea I suspect the G2 will have a much bigger following since it is being released on all major US carriers and worldwide.

[Moto X Q&A] bobbysteels216:
I have acqaintance who is concerned about the Moto X (and the rest of the current crop of Motorola phones) were always listening in on the banter in the phone's environment and reporting it to Google or the NSA in a worst case scenario. I own a Moto X and while I am not as big of a conspiracy theorist as my acquaintance I would to know is there any way to detect if the phone constantly listens in to conversations and reports them now that root has been achieved? I am still going to love the phone regardless, just wondering.

Edit: Mods feel free to move this to Moto X Q & A, I just thought the general thread was a better fit.
[Moto X Q&A] mentose457:
Maybe you should constantly talk about blowing stuff up and see if the NSA comes knocking at your door?
[Moto X Q&A] rubiksmoose:
For a non-sarcastic response:

No it is not going to be recording or sending your voice anywhere it would take a lot of resources. It is listening to your voice for a specific keyword which then activates Google Voice actions. That is all. No need for concern.

At least not compared to any other phone. There were reports that the NSA could hack into any phone to activate the mike so take that as you will.

[Moto X Q&A] roadkizzle:
To attempt a productive answer to the OP, I do not believe that the phone is constantly paying attention to what you are saying, but is just looking for a specific wave pattern to trigger on.

Current voice commands are only able to function by sending the electronic information of your voice to high powered servers to decifer the voice patterns. This is why for Voice Search or Siri to function you must have internet access, and why Siri was so unpredictable in the beginning because Apple didn't have enough servers to handle everyone making their queries.

But, the first thing I did with my Moto X is turn it on Airplane mode without connecting to any Wi-Fi. I was then able to get my Moto X to recognize the trigger phrase "OK, Google Now" and my phone turned on but then gave me a message saying that it couldn't detect any internet connection and I would have to enable one before it could understand me any further.

This seems to me that the phone cannot recognize anything other than the trigger phrase and I think it would take to many resources, battery life, and data for it to be constantly sending and receiving data from Google's voice computation servers.
[Moto X Q&A] thedosbox:
Why does your "acquaintance" think this applies only to Motorola phones? ANY device with a microphone is a potential listening point for the spooks.
[Moto X Q&A] bobbysteels216:
Maybe you should have read the OP instead of simply looking at the title or skimming the OP before replying with an unwarranted, soporific reply, yes?

I would try these angles being a fluent speaker of sarcasm myself but with them working in the engineering field for a living they have tunnelvision and can only register non-sarcastic logic, them being 50+ and a conspiracy theory nut by nature only make matters worse, and I try to respect my elders.

Do you happen to know of a link where this is mentioned?

Edit: Nevermind, I found one.

This makes sense.

But I tried putting the phone in airplane mode and speaking into the microphone after pushing the microphone button on the keyboard in a notepad app and the phone was able to convert my speech into the the appropriate words at a mesmerizingly fast rate without a data connection hence the voice recognition for the 'OK Google Now' is initially handled from the phone side. Granted I did check the option for Motorola to 'learn' my speech for better recognition but this is just more proof that the phone can handle voice recognition without data connection.

Ok that explains how the phone has to connect Google's voice recognition server to respond to speech in context but it does not address that the phone can recognize voice on it's own without a data connection.

I agree. My acquaintance's assertion is that text requires a negligible amount of RAM to store and an even more negligible amount to send over the internet provided that the data is compressed, they assert that even voice can be compressed to negligible amounts, buffered, then uploaded during processing lulls.

Let me look into my crystal ball and find that out for you...

How is that so? I am not sure I understand your use of the word spook in that context.

Don't waste your time. Such people have a tendency to double down on their beliefs, even when faced with facts.

Microphones are connected to some sort of hardware with recording capability. Nowadays, that usually means some sort of computing device onto which software can be surreptitiously loaded by the aforementioned "spooks" (aka NSA/MI6/KGB/Illuminati/Martians etc).

Any device that has a microphone and internet can be used as a listening and information gathering device. For instance the dropbox and usage stats folder in the android system under data/system, are constantly being filled with data that is uploaded to unknown locations. Imagine what apps and processes connected to microphones are doing. Full privacy does not exist on mobile devices or computers these days.

I was not being sarcastic. The claims I make are widely available to the public via wikileaks and various other sources. Unless those sources are IP blocked in your country. There is no conspiracy theory here, just spreading knowledge =)

I've been using Google Voice as my voicemail provider since my HTC Incredible. At that time, Google Voice was not "officially supported" but my phone let me set it up successfully anyway. I only occasionally used it for voice calls, mainly I wanted it to capture all my voicemails so I could access them via the web.

I got a Rezound and set up Google Voice there, again, not "officially supported" but it worked fine and captured my voicemails the way it should. Last year I switched to the Galaxy S3, then the DNA, and it has worked fine on all of them.

Two weeks ago, however, I went to Europe and roamed with my international data plan, and upon returning found my old voicemail was back. I had to dial *86 and punch my voicemail password in for the first time in years to get my voicemail. I figured I just needed to change the setting back to Google Voice and it would be fine.

Long story short, I can't get it to work anymore. Has anybody else experienced this? Any ideas on how to get Google Voice working again?
