flyboy,

As the other poster mentioned, I too can't get WiFi to work. How did you get past the initial start up settings procedure? Setup won't let me skip logging into a network so I'm stuck.

smithmal

Edit - figured it out. When setting up tablet on the "Wifi Select" screen, for some reason when adding a network, network settings cannot be saved (seeing this when manually adding a SSID as I have mine hidden). Click "Skip" and then click "Cancel" and then setup will finish.

Still cannot manually add my hidden SSID though so I can't connect to my WiFi network.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 320flyboy320:
Ya WiFi is for sure screwed up. I did manage to add my hidden SSID after trying a few times. Although as with the APPS in SETTINGS the button names seem to be messed up. If I try to uninstall an app, I only get the option to either INSTALL or SDCARD...bit weird...:silly:
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] deadman96385:
Could you please in the next release, switch the release flag here to false, this makes it so the build is Unofficial.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I really like the boot animation on the ROM!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jisoo:
I'll have a look at these issues (starting with Wi-Fi) and try to fix them next week.

Will do.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I. Noticed something odd with the WiFi this weekend. I flashed the ROM on Friday,, and then yesterday I messed something up while restoring some stuff so I did another clean flash. This time I used the "minimal gapps" and when I tried setting up, it would not even show any of the 4or 5 access points nearby. And nothing I tried would produce any results.

So,, I went back and flashed the AIO gapps and then all the AP's showed up and I was able to log on to it.

Just thought I'd share. I think it's kinda odd that the gapps would make a difference in being able to see wifi.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] smithmal:
Interesting. Are you refering to the AIO gapps listed for Slimbean (see here) or full CM listed 4.3 gapps (08/13/2013 gapps). I've tried this with the Slimbean AIO gapps and it didn't work (re-flashed it a couple time to make sure). I wonder if going from minimal gapps to AIO gapps is the trick?

Also, after getting all your APs to show up is LiquidSmooth supporting BT? As I recalled BT worked, I just couldn't connect to my AP.

Edit: Tried installing with minimal first and then re-flash AIO and I can't save password for my AP. Once password is entered I only have two options: "Failed to save network" and "Deny"

smithmal
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jisoo:
Guys,

Sorry about the WiFi problems. I tested this build with no gapps and it worked ok for me, so I didn't know about the issues.

I'm a bit busy at work right now, but I will get back to this at the end of the week and try to put up a better working build.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mcord11758:
I have no issues with WiFi
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I was referring to the SlimBean AIO.

The very first time I flashed it, I used the one (can't remember its name) that pulls up the interface where you can pick and choose the gapps you want to install. That worked for me.

Then when I re-flashed (clean) I just wanted to get going, and didn't really care what was on it, so did the minimal gapps. That's when I couldn't see any WiFi Access Points. But since I knew I had gotten access to WiFi the first time, I figured there had to be something different between my 2 flashes. But not wanting to go through and select things again, I just flashed the AIO gapps over everything. That time WiFi worked.

I can't answer about BT. I'm not using any BT connections with my Nook at this time.

And as to your edit, I think I got some kind of error message too, but when I got to the next part, where you log into your google account, it had access and everything worked. So despite the error message regarding WiFi, I was able to continue, and haven't really had any WiFi issues with it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jisoo:
So I've uploaded a new build for v2.37.

I tested Wi-Fi, and although the text strings in the UI are wrong (for instance it says "deny" where it should say "connect"), Wi-Fi and BT tethering now work as far as I can test.

I also merged all of the bug fixes and cleanups the LiquidSmooth team has added since the last build, but these are quite minor. There does not seem to be any new features coming into the 4.3/JB3 branch. This is the case for more or less all ROMs, as everyone is busy rebasing and merging functionality into the 4.4 branches.

The new build is also properly marked as unofficial, as requested by the LiquidSmooth devs.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] smithmal:
jisoo,

Thanks for this ROM, your work porting this to the HD+ is much appreciated. I loaded this up and took it for a spin earlier today. WiFi connection is still a bit dicey. It took me three or four times before it would connect (using WPA2 security on my network), but the tablet did finally connect. It seemed my signal strength was a bit lower than other ROMs, but I don't have any hard data to support that.

The ROM seemed snappy enough (coming from the Slimbean ROM which is very responsive). BT turned on when selecting it, but I haven't gotten a chance to test it yet so that's on my list.

I will do some more tests on DL speeds/UL speeds/WiFi strength later tonight and let you know.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
@jisoo

Thanks for the new build, just wanted to let you know of two issues. Settings/About Tablet/Status force closes, (com.android phone has stopped) which is really no big deal. However, Settings/Statusbar also force closes, which is a bit more important when setting up your device. I've tried installing the rom twice and both times, with a totally clean install.

I'm torn between using your Carbon build or this one and I'm kinda' leaning toward this one at this time. :) For now, I've gone back to the previous Liquid v2.25 build from 1101, which only has the force close on Settings/About Tablet/Status and really doesn't bother me. As a temporary workaround, I'm going to try installing v2.37 over v2.25 with just a dirty flash, while retaining whatever statusbar settings I have from v2.25.

But, would appreciate if you can find some time to square away the statusbar FCs on v2.37 if/when possible.

EDIT: Settings/Battery also FCs in both v2.25 and 2.37.

Thanks again,

Mike T
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jisoo:
I'll try to replicate the issue, but it would also be really useful if you could get a logcat of the FCs.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
Thanks but I don't think you'll have any problem replicating it, just open settings/statusbar and it will force close every time.

Mike T
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] smithmal:
Crash also occurs when in Settings going to Apps and then moving to "Downloaded" or "All."

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] prabhjan:
This ROM seems to be great, in that it's lag-free compared to all the others (CM 10.1.3, CarbonROM, and the others)

But, like others here mentioned, there's issues with the WiFi, and I've also noticed that my SD card is not being mounted. It clearly recognizes it, since it tells me it's been connected or removed. But just doesn't mount. Would be great if you can look into that.

Thanks!

EDIT: Also, in the settings, under general, when I select Statusbar settings, the app crashes. Might want to look into that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] SteveCoops:
Any news on any updates for this? Generally it's the smoothest one I've used but the odd text, especially around Wifi (and general Wifi stability) really need sorting. It's odd clicking 'Deny' to connect :D
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] deadman96385:
All of the bugs said here are affecting all of are tablets including this unofficial build, it has to do with the user permissions not working at all. We are seeing if are 4.4 rebase fixes it if not we will fix it then.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jisoo:
Yeah, I'm really sorry about the messed up stuff, and not having enough time to fix them, and unfortunately I am not in a position to spend a lot of time debugging and fixing the problems due to personal commitments (job and family).

It looks like there's some hope our devices will be 4.4 support from CM (based on the fact that Hashcode has started putting together alpha cm-11.0 builds for other devices with the TI OMAP 4470 SoC), so I'll try to do a better unofficial port of the LiquidSmooth ROM when we go to Kit Kat -- though if someone else wants to have a crack at it, feel free to PM me for suggestions on how to resolve the typical rotation bugs.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] victorlam:
Dopod 838 has been launched in Asia, like Hong Kong and Taiwan. Can anyone help to find the Dopod 838 Traditional Chinese ROM? Can we flash from English to T. Chinese version if possible?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daytontp:
So, the press release says that Best Buy will sell the Nexus 5. I cannot find it on their website yet, and I have called 3 different stores in 2 different states (I am on vacation). After talking with 3 different people, they keep telling me they will not be selling it. One person told me that T-Mobile was the only store that was going to stock the Nexus 5 in retail. This was after putting me on hold to talk with the Mobile Phones Sales Manager. Apparently, no one at these stores is aware of the release. I wanted to see if anyone had an idea of when it may be available at a Best Buy store?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
Nexus 5 will be available soon at the following retailers: Sprint, T-Mobile, Amazon, Best Buy and RadioShack.

Guys plz help me how to select kernels for customs roms like JLS,JSS,JWR.

I m very much confused to select kernel
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
When you see a ROM that has JWR or JSS/JWR in its name, then use a JWR one.

If the ROM has JSS or JLS only, use JSS or JLS kernels.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky7180:
In case of pac rom which is jls36c which kernel i can use??
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
JLS or JSS
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antfrederick:
I'm not 100% sure if this is even a valid idea since I obviously don't pay for AT&T or T-Mo, but is there any way that, like on their networks, if there's no LTE around that I could fall back to one of their HSPA+ networks? For instance changing the preferred network setting or flashing a new radio (I'm s-off). I know VZW doesn't have that network, but if there's a way to do it it'd be an awesome browsing/streaming/downloading experience.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
Not unless you get a gsm SIM card.Verizon doesn't use gsm and their SIM card doesn't work that way. You basically answered tour own question by stating you don't pay for att or t mo
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
How come we didn't have a conference of any kind for this release?:confused:

There was one for G+ and the Play event but nothing for this nice piece of hardware ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
I get the impression that Google was making a point...

They could sell out a device with no pomp and circumstance simply by relying on the viral nature of the internet. A few well timed and coordinated leaks and it started a wildfire with rumors and speculation.

No renting out convention halls, expensive advertising, official teases, etc. They proved how powerful their brand is without having to do much at all. The community took every single rumor and ran with it. It is pure genius if you can get away with it.

Hype reached a fever pitch this morning and out of nowhere the flood gates were opened. What benefit would an announcement have made?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wideasleep1:
There was a presser, but it appears only tech sites were present:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
So true. However, I feel like normal people who aren't checking tech blogs all the time won't really know about the device. Then again the Nexus line has always been meant for "developers". Although, it's starting to become more than that. I'm not sure if not broadcasting the phone's release to everyone besides techies is really enough.

:confused: Just curious I guess, We'll probably never hear an official reasoning from Google though :|
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
Maybe releasing it like this was a nod to their faithful nerd following, allowing us in the know to get first crack at the device. We were following the tech blogs, we were building the hype for them, we were keeping the rumor mill churning.

Word of mouth is powerful, a handful of happy nerds with their shiny new toy in hand are more likely to give a glowing recommendation than a pissed off nerd that's left waiting to get their hands on the device of the year.

There was a lot of bad press last year because so many that wanted a 4 simply couldn't get one. This year, those of us that were most looking forward to the 5 actually had a chance to get one.

I predict that marketing will pick up soon after these first units get out there.

I'm happy they did it like this, it makes me feel like they care about us nerds!

Alright so just wanted to let people know that 4.3 for I9505 Vodafone Uk is just started downloading on my phone. Dont know the exact firmware as its just showing update and download is aprrox 680 mb so i think better than Sammobiles Odin Updates. No offense they bring the stuff first in samsungs line.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] P2000Camaro:
I don't have privileges to post on the android development section, so I'll post it here.

Pros: The rom is quite stable

Fantastic battery life

Extremely smooth and fast

Cons: Like most custom roms, picture mail does not work

For some reason the rom jacked up the volume levels on the ringer and the regular phone, so if you have the ringer turned all the way up, it'll probably blow your speaker pretty quickly.. And the phone volume is all messed up.. Even if it's all the way down, when you first make a call, it cranks all the way up

LTE does not work at all, and 3G hardly works. Basically I'm only getting internet if I'm on WiFi. I've tried changing the Mobile Data settings, but they don't stick.

If you spell something wrong with the keyboard, when you try to use "autocorrect" it force closes the messaging app

Bluetooth is not really usable

All in all, I really do like this ROM, however I am gonna flash back to stock because this ROM is just not usable as a daily driver yet.. Great effort though.. Hopefully it gets fine tuned in the future.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] slimbrady:
I'm still locked from dev posting as well which is a real shame since I'm a power user who loves to do dangerous experiments with expensive electronics, lol, From what your review says this sounds like a ROM i will definitely be avoiding(surprised I haven't actually tried it though lol). Cyanogen mods (or CM based mods) seem to be the clear winner for me personally. Am glad that you shared this though because I was contemplating trying a few more new ones but got a little new-rom shy after the fiasco that BAM rel turned out to be. I've come to develop a healthy respect for the difference in skill level of the developers here. Not saying PA is untalented because clearly they have a lot of it, just saying I'm much more wary now^^
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZombieDawgg:
So I have an Xperia Z1 C6903, using software modified by Telstra.

I seem to have battery life issues, and I was wondering if rooting, then flashing the GSM firmware/software would let me access updates to improve battery life, and also I would like to flash 4.4 when it comes out for the Z1 in CM10.3 or whatever.

But, I have heard that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera? Is this still the case? Also, is there any way to lock the bootloader again?

Is it worth doing it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
Bootloader unlocking will indeed still cause your camera to break and you will irreversibly loose DRM keys and thus X-Reality etc. This has not been fixed by Sony yet..There is a way around that however as you can backup your TA partition (which contains the DRM keys). Once you back that up you can restore it in the future once you decide to get back on a stock rom.

[YOUTUBE]kva9-rAPG5s[/YOUTUBE]

When it comes to battery life rooting will let you use apps such as Greenify which have a lot of functionality that with root can greatly improve your battery life. You could also downgrade the CPU with any apps such as CPU master.

To get a custom rom such as CM you will need a custom kernel so unfortunately you will need to unlock the bootloader first.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Rooting and boot loader unlocking are different things
[HTC Droid DNA] regaw_leinad:
Awesome, man! Just to let you know, you say that the user needs ADB to be installed for it to work, but AndroidLib actually has that built it. If you're really trying to access the adb binary itself, look for the ResourceFolderManager class in the library, and adb.exe exists at runtime in the "AndroidLib" folder.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Cool I didn't know that!
[HTC Droid DNA] regaw_leinad:
Just tried out the application. Works great!

One thing that might help the user experience:

Look into using a BackgroundWorker or the async/await combination to process all of the logcat data. This will make it so the app doesn't freeze temporarily while it's collecting the data. Also, you could do that same thing on the application startup while AndroidLib loads it's resources and starts the adb server.
[HTC Droid DNA] regaw_leinad:
Oh and one more thing, I'm not sure you called the "Dispose" method on the AndroidController object when the app closes. If you haven't already, go ahead and put that in. It stops the adb server and frees up all resources used by AndroidLib ;)

The only reason that I say this is because adb was still running after I had closed the program.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
You mean this? Does it matter where in my code it goes?

private void Form1_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
android.Dispose();
}
[HTC Droid DNA] regaw_leinad:
Hmm, is that already in there? Maybe put it in the FormClosing event handler. Your code should work however.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Updated to v1200!

New options for easier to read logs!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] regaw_leinad:
Great update man, it's way more smooth! :)

If anyone could please test my Beta release and let me know if you have any issues with it Detecting the Device.

Thanks .torrented!
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
No that's not normal, The problem I have is it freezes when I use my DNA, but works fine when I use my Nexus 7.

I really can't see what's going on here, that is really just strange. I wonder if it has anything to do with A/V?

Thanks for trying.
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
Update: ever since that error I cannot have the program start up (as admin or normal) without that error and app hanging, even with no devices hooked up. Tried with both HTC phones and the Motorola Droid X2 and none. Still get same error. I know I have .NET 4.0, the error log shows it is running with your loaded modules also. Both HTC phones are S-off, Rezound running stock hboot and DNA on ENG, though I do not think that matters.

Update! This program may not work if you don't have a good version of busybox installed to your device! I've installed with 1.21.1 and this program works correctly!

Edit* Added v1310!
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
two things really quick

1. is it ppossible to just have the app run busybox in the device via temp to stop that issue

2. i tried downloading the torrent and seeding it so it is readily available but download wouldnt start but thats ok
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
1)That could be possible I didn't have time to experiment before I left. I will when I get back home in a week, on vacation right now.

2)I don't think xda 's torrent feature works I just use direct download it's only like 2 megabytes (1mb compressed)

Does the application at least work for you?
