Another thread states that this has worked for them on a 4.4 ROM flashed to another device.

Any news on a none root solution?

Ritesh Sahu updated his SMS Backup Restore app today with KitKat compatibility. Try updating the app and then attempting another restore?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DDaveW:
Just popped on to post about that. The update works brilliantly all SMS now showing on my Nexus 5 :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anawim:
Thanks for the confirmation. Does it work for MMS too?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tung_meister:
It's not working for me, no sms' are getting restored to the hangouts app, did you have to create a new backup with the latest version for it to work?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkness_sam:
I'm in the same boat: created a backup on old 4.3 phone with the new SMS Backup and Restore app, restored it on Nexus 5 (again with the new version of SMS Backup and Restore) but I see no messages in Hangouts. Definitely had SMS B+R set as the default SMS app during the restore.

:(

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Forget my previous post - just worked out how to force Hangouts to see the new messages.

The key step is to open Hangouts while SMS B+R is set as the default SMS app. This forces it to remove any SMS threads it knows about. Exit the app, set Hangouts as default again, and reopen it - it will refresh its thread list.

Hooray!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordromanov01:
I will be upgrading to the Nexus 5 from an iPhone 4.

Is there any way to port over all my old SMS?

I have heard before that HTC had a way of bringing all that data from an Apple phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tung_meister:
The only issue with this method is that you lose any messages that you've received before restoring as Hangouts must make it's own database that's separate to the mmssms.db.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matteventu:
Can you please explain better for who has a lower knowing of english language, please? XD
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fushichou:
I managed to get Hangouts to see my restored SMSes, and thankfully it's really easy to do and doesn't require any other apps or updates to work. After restoring you SMSes, go into Hangouts and then into settings and turn SMS off. This will remove all SMS threads from Hangouts (but they will still be on your phone and accessible using other SMS apps). Close Hangouts then open it again and turn SMS back on, and it will find all the SMS threads on your phone, including those that were restored from a backup. Easy!

Note: this was on a HTC One where Hangouts isn't the default SMS app, I presume disabling SMS in Hangouts won't delete all your SMS threads permanently on a Nexus 5 but exercise some caution until someone confirms that this works fine on a Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I'm also thinking maybe a good plan would be to install a 3rd-party SMS client in order to monitor what has actually been placed into SMS storage or not. Now SMS is a nice clean-looking client. If you have any existing SMS on your device already before restoring from your old device, install an extra client and switch that to the default. See if your messages appear in that client. If not, disable SMS in Hangouts and check again.

Mysms works to restore texts even though that's not its advertised use and you don't need root.

sent from my Nexus 7✌
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Good to know. I used to use mysms but I found it to have a lot of odd behaviours. Sometimes it would stop syncing, and then if I forced it to resync, it would proceed to destroy all the date stamps on my message history for about 20 minutes while it rifled through them. Usually everything went back to normal eventually, but it was really disruptive.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bud77:
Yes, there is. But it involves a jailbroken iphone, a linux pc/virtual, a shell script

I did when i moved from iphone to nexus4 (using a script found on github), but the timestamps were not kept

Sms backup and restore works perfectly. Just set it as your sms app while restoring and afterwards select hangouts.

I don't think we can automatically backup our sms now as only one app can read the database at a time. Could be wrong though

I want to root my Nexus 4 and install newest CM. One problem is, that there is Android 4.4 update comming soon. So if I root my Nexus and install CM, can I get my phone back to stock and update Android to 4.4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Yes. You can either flash the 4.4 images, or simply install a 4.4 based custom ROM (the more practical solution my opinion) since you will already have installed a custom recovery.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] boscosloon:
Can it work on non rooted device ?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] KnightRyder:
No friend....... Since flashing this needs custom recovery, which needs rooting......
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] kt-Froggy:
Although flashing will not work, alarms, notifications and ringtones (i.e. non-system sounds) can still be easily extracted from the archive and copied to their respective folders manually...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] samsgun357:
They'll need to be put in /sdcard/media or a similar folder on SD card because without root they can't get to

/system/media

I'm waiting for Android Milky Way
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] kt-Froggy:
Nope, no need for root. What I meant was to put those sounds under Ringtones, Alarms and Notifications folders on either int. or ext. SD card. This will make them available for choosing in sound settings.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
I heard from my local distributor for universal (jasjar) that the jj has a lot of problems, and is not quality tested to expected standards....

Apparently, there are too many complaints and problems regarding the hardware integrity of the device. Out of every 50 devices, there are roughly 6-8 devices which are defective and need replacement...

the problems were mainly with the display...the display used to "flicker", there were lots of issues with the hinge, there were sections of the display which were corrupted....

I'm not too sure if this info is accurate, or he's just crapping to me, cuz i'm buying it from outside (and not from him!)

Is this true? I'm kind of worried, as i'm buying it in from the US (qtek 9000) and theres no way i could get support here locally...

thanks!

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Generally not true in my personal use. I've had no issues at all. I only use it at VGA and do some degree of hacking on it, but have found only slight flicker issues (but unlikely to be seen in normal use).

It's big(ger than a magican), it generally seems slightly slower than WM2003 when working at VGA (but fine at QVGA), but it's well featured, has a good keyboard, good connectivity, has some curious ergonomic oversights, has only few noticeable bugs that are intrinsic as opposed to externally correctable, works well, and if you're ok with the size, will no doubt please you if set up correctly.

It's nice to develop on.

Versus the wizard, it has VGA, but VGA at VGA res is hard on the eyes, so is more of a luxury than good for day to day use. So there's not that much between them.

But it will generally please you!

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Thanks for your reply vj!

I'm more than eager and obsessed with the universal! For me, size really doesnt matter...in fact, i love ppcs which are bigger!

My only worry is, about the build quality of the device...

I just hope something doesnt fall apart, as i really cant afford to get assistance for fixing it here :(

I'll have to wait for my next trip to the united states, until then....it's an expensive paper weight!

fingers crossed,

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
I've never had any concern about the build quality, think it's very well built personally.

Just don't stress the hinge in the wrong direction, and be gentle. But knowing how much it costs, I'm sure you will!

Get a screen cover (before it arrives! I use a brando, but recommend exim and others I guess) and use the enormous case that comes with it.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
thanks for the tip m8 ;)

I've bought an eXpansys screen protector along with the device...

I guess it should do for now...will look at buying a brando once this wears away...

another 1 hour, and it would be 7 days to go :D

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] shivafool:
I don't believe that stuff about bad build quality. I'm happy with mine, and my impression from this board is that most folks are busy trying to tweak and push and see how far they can go with these great little machines. Hardware problems seem to represent a definite minority of the topics here. That's my impression anyway. :)

[HTC Droid DNA] Jaybone073:
I did perform a search both here and on google so if this has been answered please post a link and I will shut up and say thank you.

I notice when going through my apps and system apps that there is something called a tethering guard. How does this affect my DNA and is it something I should keep or remove?

I am rooted and still have unlimited data and use the WiFi tethering for Root Users app for tethering data. Does this throttle my data? Does my current app become affected or rendered useless should I remove it?

I like to run a very lean rom but do not wish to remove something that would require me to re-install the rom should it affect my ability to tether my data.
[HTC Droid DNA] bakemcbride21:
I think that is there to monitor and prevent people from tinkering with the Verizon mobile hot spot. I believe that tetheringguard.apk got introduced way back in the day after the free mobile hot spot deal on the Thunderbolt ran out as a way to stop people from using it for free still.

I imagine if you remove it, it kills the native Verizon hotspot functionality, though if you are using wifi tether that doesn't matter...though since it is doing no harm (I think), I'd leave it in case any other system stuff is dependent on it.
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
Try disabling it, if you see an adverse effect, enable the app again. If you want to be extra safe, make a nandroid you can restore in case something goes wrong

Anyone find a cheap SlimPort adapter to get HDMI out to a TV?

I've been looking and was hoping they'd come down in price by now...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] txsizzler:
I know Amazon sells others, but the one from Analogix is the official one from what I understand, and it encounters the least issues. Further, they guarantee compatibility with all Nexus devices, as well as LG devices, and one of the Chromebooks. I personally use the SlimPort by Analogix (SP1002) for my N4, and it works very well. There is a new model out now (SP1003), which came out in July, which replaced the older model. From what I understand, it allows for better charging capabilities.

I was tempted by some of the less expensive Slimport adapters on Amazon, but eventually decided to go with the Analogix (SP1003-2116). It is just under $30 and if you are a Amazon Prime member free two day shipping. It seemed to get much better reviews than the other Slimport adapters. Mine came in the mail today along with a wireless charger. Hopefully my N5 arrives Monday so they can play.

This is the new Android 4.4 AOSP ROM, which was just recently published by PA, running on Nexus 4.

In the video I go through the new stuff that's been added to Android, including the new "Ok Google" feature.

[YOUTUBE]wFlboPoBzoA[/YOUTUBE]

I also ran benchmarks and the results were better than I expected!

Antutu benchmark score: 16867 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_8_I6xHiOk)

Quadrant benchmark score: 5042 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aQbUfnrwU4)

The scores will improve once Google released the official ROM with all the binaries and what not.
