So nobody else is seeing MMS send failures in hangouts or the weird black bar at the bottom of the wallpaper like it wasn't scaled properly?

Edit: Google now search seems to be broken also...

One thing. The name of the file is: libvideochat_jni.txt

There is already a file in there with the name: libvideochat_jni.so Am I supposed to rename it to .so instead of .txt and then paste it in there? It says denied when I try to copy it as .txt so I changed it to .so

***Edit***

Root explorer let me paste the .txt in there when I mounted system/lib. Es file explorer doesn't seem to have the same level of access that root explorer does.

***Edit 2***

Still doesn't work. Nothing happens when I try to start a video chat. I placed the above file in system/lib and changed the permission to:

XX

X

X

Rebooted and its the same exact thing as always, starting a chat hangs the program and nothing happens.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] AdhvanIt:
Rename it to .so
[Moto X Themes and Apps] seh6183:
I did and I told it to overwrite. Permissions to:

XX

X

X

Still doens't work. This phone is a pain. I cant get a single safestrap rom to flash either. I don't know whats going on. Not doing anything its supposed to.

**Edit**

Got it working. Renamed to .so and used root explorer this time instead of es file explorer. Thanks for the help!

cant get hangouts to send mms even with the fix
[Moto X Themes and Apps] AdhvanIt:
Anyone care to post up the stock apps? I'm running into some issues and want to try a few other things..
[Moto X Themes and Apps] rmead01:
just uninstall and reinstall from the play store
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mcgrathpatj:
realized afterwards that I screwed the pooch by quoting the OP. Why'd you post yet another post that does absolutely nothing and with no intent?

Anyhow back on topic.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] emerica243:
Send MMS as in to a mobile number? Youre not referring to as through hangouts are you?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] seh6183:
I Dont know about you guys but my hangouts sends MMS while I'm on WiFi.

Anyone get clock working?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] emerica243:
Thats always been a hit or miss for me my whole life on android with various phones carriers and versions
[Moto X Themes and Apps] seh6183:
I can tell you that mine wasn't working on wifi and then I made some changes to the APN and it works on wifi now. I have a verizon phone with an AT&T sim. I went into the APN and theres a setting for global, GSM, or cdma. I chose GSM and then went into the actual APN and selected restore default settings. That actually deleted the APN completely out of the phone. So its showing that I have no APN, but I can now send MMS over wifi with google hangouts. Give it a try, its worth a shot.

I did the Google.home and search update when I was on original firmware and Google search bar had the "OK Google" in the bar and would activate when I said those words. Now with camera out I reroooted etc and have the launcher and search and all the other goodies installed on the ota but "OK Google" is missing and my phone only responds to "OK Google now". Any ideas or help. Thanks guys.

Anyone know how to modify the launcher to allow transparency by the on screen buttons?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] MajorTankz:
On screen buttons are part of the system ui, meaning you have to modify system files to change on screen buttons not the launcher.

Can't get Google search to work. I uninstalled everything, moved googled search to system app and installed after installing new play services and downloaded the lib. Still FC.... Any ideas?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] strictlyphat:
Don't forget u have to be rooted in "recovery" side. Also fix permissions and before you search go change language to English - UK. Do a search then change back to us. Also go in to search app setting and download English offline language pack.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] km8j:
How do you fix permissions without a recovery console?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] icase81:
With a file browser like Root Explorer or similar.

Yep I did that already.... Sorry, I thought you meant actually RUNNING Fix Permissions.

Looks like we are going to have to wait till Google officially releases GEL for the nexus 7.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Thepascalboy:
Oke thx for the info, can you post the download here when the official is there?

Btw, is the official GEL already in the real update that is coming or is it just only for the nexus 4.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] LoopDoGG79:
I'll post it, though, the Nexus 5 version GEL with the Google search 3.1 apk works quite well on the Nexus 7. I assume I'll be available through the playstore, but only Google knows for now.

Thanks for the video. Great review.
[Nexus 5 General] Jazd71:
Screen is good not as good as HTC one, colours not as rich and blacks not as black, video play back not as smooth as HTC one but better than my n4. Quadrant benchmark (not that this really affects daily use) is half of HTC one at 6600. Web browser very quick via chrome. Camera OK, better than n4 not as good as HTC one. (I know I'm comparing to the n4 & HTC one but these are the phones I have to compare too) .
[Nexus 5 General] Mikulec:
Could you please try if and how the USB OTG is working? I am curious if LG and Google havent made the same mistake like with Nexus 4. Thanks.

Can't you use nexus 4 color calibration
[Nexus 5 General] msavic6:
Its worse than the HTC One Camera? That camera is horrible, the HTC One had visible noise in daylight shots, the Nexus 5 has to be better than that. Based on the camera samples I have seen, I would say the nexus 5 has a pretty good camera.

It's where the image stabilization comes in real handy... if you know what I mean. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] mazinya:
How is the speakers volume? is it loud enough when you get a call or when you talk to someone while on speaker? I remember people complaining about the low volume quality of the N4. Is it improved this time around?
[Nexus 5 General] alangrig:
Could you test please for mic record quality in video in loud area or recording loud music.

Nexus 4 suffers severely in this department by recording with distortion.

Thats weird, one guy from another forum said its working with a mouse. I am wainting on him to confirm that USB flash drive is working too.

What cable and device did u try?

This is an ODIN factory image similar to the one posted here but this is an emergency recovery image that will help you recover and restore your device from nearly ANY possible soft-brick by entirely wiping, refreshing, and repartitioning your device to out-of-box OEM firmware.

WARNING

: Please use this with caution as this will wipe your ENTIRE device with no chance of restoring back old data afterwords!

How to Use

Download file from: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23203820527944861

Unzip file to your computer (desktop or some location)

Use ODIN v3.09 to flash in AP section once your device is connected

i reflashed original firmware but still no result.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BaSingSe:
I flashed this to my soft bricked phone. It is still stuck at the small Verizon logo, just like the previous ROMs. I did the factory reset. I think the phone is trying to build something. What else can I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
How long did you wait? There's a long delay after the first boot while the Dalvik cache is rebuilt. I'd wait at least 30 minutes before assuming that it's locked up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BaSingSe:
I waited several hours. Stuck. I think it is just my phone. Stuck at previous ROMs too. The new ROM does not fix this.

Thank you that was my point
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
Sorry, that was probably poor word choice on my part. Mean to clarify that it completely refreshes the device to software condition as if coming "out-of-box". Unfortunately you will not downgrade the very original "out-of-box" MDK firmware. With this device it's pretty much once you go up, you can't come back down. Sorry for the confusion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonathanp63:
Understand now. Thanks for the clarification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jsyme222:
Forgive my naivety, but flashing this image will probably overwrite my root that I maintained by using the process on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2504408[/URL] and I will lose my root privileges right?

That's correct.

So you are saying you went from VRUMJ7 to VRUDMI1 by using odin with this SCH-I545_VZW_1_20131023084910_v4vth34m5z_fac.zip?

I am not denying you did it I am asking for clarification.

No not at all. I was able to reflash VRUMJ7 using Odin by unchecking "Auto Restart". With it checked it kept failing on the hidden.img partition.

Any way to get it back into ODIN download mode so I can try the flash again or get it to come on?

Thank you, unchecking it got it to work for me!!! :cyclops: Also, before flashing i didnt boot into download mode, I left it in emergency mode.. it worked just fine!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kchitown1977:
Complete wipe removed unlocked icon for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hazer00:
When you say that you did a "complete wipe" which removed the unlocked icon for you, what exactly did you do to perform the complete wipe? Would you be so kind as to walk me through the process that you completed, so that I may have the same luck that you have had and get rid of this lock icon on boot.

Here are the steps that I tried:

-I performed the steps correctly with Odin 3.09 and used AP to flash the download, and I selected nand erase just to make sure it was wiped, and yet I still have the unlocked icon.

-Then, I rebooted into recovery, and wiped data/cache 3 times just to make sure it was wiped, and yet I still have the darn unlocked icon.

-Then I booted into the phone, and performed a factory reset using the on board menus, and I still no luck, the icon is still present.

Thank you for your time, and more importantly, Thank you for your service!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kchitown1977:
I only checked auto reboot and f. Reset time..... checked ap. added full wipe .tar file then start....it erased whole device and i was good to go

Would this process reverse flash a S4 back to Verizon from Cricket?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Probably not. From what I understand of this, Verizon will not allow a phone sold by Cricket onto their network.

There's nothing different in the phone - it's just that the ESN isn't going to be permitted on their network.

If you really think there's something Cricket-unique on the phone, then I'd flash the VZ radios found in this forum and see what happens. However, if it's an i545, then all you should have to do is to ask VZ to activate it, and install a VZ SIM for LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] smlawrence:
It's a Verizon S4 that someone had flashed to cricket. When calling in to activate, Verizon said that the phone should activate but wouldn't. We flashedit this mo rning to Page Plus and tried activation. The result from that was perfect on their end but theph one only had 3g with no ability to call. Not sure what to do next.

I want to wipe and update, is this for me?

So if I'm not soft bricked, but I'd like to wipe my phone and update, I should flash this? I understand that it'll be wiped, that's fine- I previously had rooted through vroot so I wouldn't mind starting from scratch now that the new root method is out.

Yes this is what I did as I was in the same vroot delima as you. I even formatted my sdcard and reinstalled windows just to be safe.
