I wiped cache and after that a series of e errors unable to mount cache and all related to cache now unable to format aswell
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Flash stock recovery and format cache partition from there. Do it multiple times until the error goes away. You can also flash the cache.img via fastboot! It's a common error which occurs due to a messed up cache partition!

Hey guyz... Jz a question

if i flash Android L stable (after it is released) following fastboot oem unlock and then i relock my bootloader wid fastboot oem lock... Then what is the state of tempered flag?

#being Paranoid
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Tamper flag =true.

You need to flash the bootunlocker script via recovery to lock the bootloader and remove tampered flag..

Or... You can use bootunlocker app from playstore.

Oh ohhk! Do post some pics after you put them on! :D

[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Yup mate i use that app and the script both very frequently

I asked because ....

The instructions are given on the google website itself... So i dont understand why would it trigger the tempered flag...that would nullavoid lg warranty!

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Open network settings on your computer and set a static ip...

For eg. 192.168.1.123, default gateway and in dns server you can use Google dns.. I find it the best. (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

Now, open foldersync - accounts - add account.. select smb/cifs.

In server address enter the ip you have set on your computer.. (192.168.1.123) and in start path you can either leave it blank or set it depending on what you've set it on your computer..

Personally, I've created a default folder in C:/users/Public/Nexus5 and used it as default start path!

Leave port and domain empty..

In login, put a tick on anonymous login.

Click on test connection.. If you've entered everything correctly, it should display a toast saying 'login succeeded'.

Here's a SS.

Google and LG warranty are completely different.

If you unlock bootloader via fastboot, tamper flag sets off and unlocking the bootloader via fastboot doesn't reset it. You either need to use the bootunlocker script or use the app.

many bought it from merimobiles here http://www.merimobiles.com/xiaomi-piston-headphones_p/meri8529.htm but I am not sure if its the 2.1 version maybe you can ask the seller and they even have 5$ coupon for first customer not sure if it works but worth a try

[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Well meri mobiles is giving it cheap if its the 2.1 version u can go for it ask the seller once and as far as aliexpress the seller which i mentioned is great prompt reply n good service though i got it under free shipping as did not wanted to waste on quick delivery n to be safe just ask the seller to mark as gift u can subscribe n maybe u may get a 5 $ coupon in aliexpress which i got to i bght 2 nillkin n a piston almost 12 days back lets see when it reaches here but i know it will take time still

previosly i was worried that those genuine are not now i found genuine now another thing

buy 2.0 or wait for 2.1:)
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Well its not that much of difference but still it is indeed on my part i decided to wait fr a month to get 2.1 and decided not to get 2.0 but it depends on your necessity as how quick u need as i do hv another one so using that as of now so was in no hurry so decided to wait for the updated version 2.1 and with viper4android we are certainly looking for some good bass and clear sound reproduction
[Nexus 5 General] nitinvaid:
well sound makes difference to me just bcoz of that till now i changed like 5 sound card and now sticking with xonar d2x in my PC
[Nexus 5 General] Hunter008:
I ordered from merimobiles, looks genuine 2.1. Let's see when it arrives.
[Nexus 5 General] skarma103:
thats not the full command , create a folder say nexus on D drive , then command will be adb pull /storage/sdcard0/ D:\nexus ... that specifies from where to pull and where it should pull to .. I do this on my n4 , maybe the path to n5 storage is a little different , try this first , otherwise just replace the storage path and use same command . pretty easy
[Nexus 5 General] abhi321984:
The ones from MeriMobiles are the Original v 2.1 Pistons. All the Reviews there are also good. I tried using the 5$ Coupon while ordering my Pistons from Merimobiles but it did not work. It is only for Orders above 130$ i think.

Dude, get it from MeriMobiles. Seems Genuine and for 20$.

Even i am eagerly waiting for mine. Hope it arrives soon. The Wait is killing...:)

Thats what i suggested if he is ready tp wait then merimobiles is fair at 20$ but hopefully you ppl have confirmed from seller for the 2.1 version as for me i was assured of the same from aliexpress but since the price is high now so merimobiles seems a good alternative

xiaomi pistion 2 indian thread orignal or not.....

tell me is this topic really worth arguing?

why you making this big thing?
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Not making big thing ..

Just a suggestion..

There is almost 100+ post about xiaomi piston in this thread .. Don't you think it will be more organized to discuss in that thread ..

Some people come here to solve their problem about their nexus 5 who are in india .. Their post are ignored because all of us are very busy in xiaomi piston vs 2.0 or 2.1 ..

Ok whatever i don't own xda .. Do whatever you like ..

I was just suggesting .. Nothing else .
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
well let the thread still be active as it is atleast its the most active thread for discussion relating to nexus 5 and as far as other issues is concerned I dont think anyone must have not got any reply to their query.

here its a group of active and helping user so lets enjoy the time here very soon I will review the same in accesories thread and then we can move the complete discussion there or anyone is willing to take initiative of the piston 2 vs 2.1 review and discussion for nexus 5 related stuff :highfive:

[Nexus 5 General] skarma103:
toolkits are easier but when something goes wrong which ot will in time you should learn how to do it manually , just download the adb in 15 seconds program from xda , setup adb , in the adb folder hold shift and right click , open command prompt .. type adb reboot bootloader after it boots into bootloader, then flash the recovery for nexus 5 , eg twrp , type fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img , then using vol buttons select recovery and flash the super su zip reboot , voila you have root

root doesnt change the data of apps , but aftefr root you can use titanium backup to back it up

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] :
This isn't xolo. Xolo probably had some in built theming capability. Stock android has no such thing. Of you want to theme your phone you'll have to root and get a rom with the cm11 theme engine (I personally recommended paranoid android) or install xposed and get the xthemer module.

Keep in mind cm11 themes aren't compatible with the xposed module.

If you just want to theme your launcher then there are lots of custom launchers, widgets and icon packs out there.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] :
Xposed is a very glitchy and hacky way of doing things. I honestly suggest you get a custom rom with the cm11 theme engine. It is way more powerful that whatever you're using and has a much larger variety of themes if a much higher quality.

Anyone used Slimkat and PA and Mahdi rom?

Am on mahdi now. Is slimkat or PA much smoother.?
[Nexus 5 General] :
I've been using pa since their first release and haven't felt the need to switch to any other rom. They try to keep as close to stock as possible and integrate their features really well. I haven't used any of the other roms mentioned by you so I can't really comment on them.

PA has been very stable for me. Of you're looking for a rom with tons of settings then PA isn't for you. The only way to make a decision is to try out all the roms and decide for yourself. What may work for one person may not work for you. You can get the latest pa from

Download.paranoidandroid.co/roms/hammerhead

The latest beta (4.6 beta 1) has Introduced dynamic status bars. Keep in mind that this is their first release of this feature and there may be bugs ( slight lag in colour changing is all I could tell so far) other than that it's perfectly stable for me.

Is there any chance that they enable it by default in the L final release ?
[Nexus 5 General] BlazeForth:
Thanks. I want smoothness. Am okay with features. I really want to flash PA. But they are releasing updates almost in 2-3 weeks. And i dont have enough bandwidth to download full rom and kind off lazy to flash and setting up rom. It would have been nice just only giving update zip and all. Thats pulling me backward from flashing.

Tried AICP. Didnt like it much. I dont use that much features. Like Mahdi because its perfect for ma features. But facing some lag probs.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Then PA team usually releases an update every week on Tuesday, you don't have to update every week. Most roms come out with regular updates either weekly or monthly. You're under no compulsion to flash the latest update every week. I'm a flashaholic so I need my weekly fix of PA lol.

Once a device gets a year+ old.. New gen games will start to lag on it.. There's nothing you can do about it ^_^ If you want the latest, you need to pay up.

My previous device was HTC One X which I used for about an year and a half and newer games started to lag on it. I had paid 28k for the device at that time. Then I upgraded to the Nexus 5 and everything was hunky dory. But come on.. it's a 10 month old device now and IMO, it's the best device in terms of aging. Look at the development and various patches from qualcomm.. Even now, we are offered with the latest updates and believe me, in terms of mobile technology, 10 months is a lot!

What have you got against mediatek?? :silly: It's just in our minds.. MediaTek is a good company offering high end chips at reasonable rates. Developers hate it just because they don't provide their sources and hence development on those chips will be ZERO!

and BTW, just because a newer version of OpenGL is out there, it doesn't mean all other devices will be put to shame.. That thinking is just ridiculous. No company develops games by just keeping the Latest in mind. They have at least 10-20 devices on which they optimize the games. Yeah, there's no doubt that 3.1 might be a good upgrade but that doesn't mean those games will lag and be unplayable on other platforms as games are optimized taking all medium to high end devices into consideration.
