The music app went to closed when google released Google Music streaming service. They don't want other apps hooking into their cloud based streaming. None of the AOSP based music apps were able to connect to google's cloud based streaming, even if it was your music you uploaded. That's just how they want it, and i'm sure the recording companies like it that way to for the content they put on it.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Nothing is 'pure android' because that would be ****.

No app store for instance
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Thanks bud! I can confirm it works too.
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
Right. And Google was updating the music player in the store long before the proprietary version with the streaming service came about.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
No they weren't. The AOSP music player never saw an update outside of ROM updates.

Yep, IIRC. they stopped including Browser after 4.1 but pretty much every custom rom 4.2+ has it. :laugh:

There was even an AOSP Browser Installer app in Google Play that I used on my Nexus 7 (2012). You did need root though, I wonder if anyone will make an app like this for the N5?
[Nexus 5 General] rg1003:
Here is something for those of you arguing that Pure Android = Pure Google or that you should not expect the Nexus program to be pure android (and I do agree with the second point BTW)

This morning I woke up to find an update to my pre-installed HP Print Service Plug In waiting for me in the Play Store. Didn't even know I had this little system app on my phone.

Does "Pure Google" now include system apps from select third parties that are of value to only a small percentage of the user base?
[Nexus 5 General] shadowcore:
Funny thing reading this thread. All are jumping their guns and defending irrelevant points. Nobody is questioning whyyou like, why you think its straight from google or whatever.

Firstly, using the word pure, is very wrong, unscientific and it has a load attached. Same goes with the word "experience".

"Stock" would be the better word.

As OP pointed out, Nexus released phones have a "Google" customized version of android, however lightly, its not not stock or "pure".

Stock android is android without any bloatware, no changes, no customizations. Thats AOSP.

Oh and people, there is no such thing as Pure google experience, the word pure does not make sense. The only phones that have "Google" customizations are Nexus phones and google edition phones I think. THere is no other OEM that uses "Google" customizations. Motorola maybe? I dont know anything about motorola and its UI and so on, so I leave it at this.

My 2 cents.

PS: To be honest, the jargon used in phone reviewing sites is very unprofessional

I mean things like:

"X device is 4.7 coll phone, rocking a quad core CPU" Rocking, really?

"Or the nexus devices are known for sporting a pure android google experience" Sporting, pure, experience.......

and others. I immediately stop reading when I see such things. Its insufferable.

I've been using the google edition rom on safestrap for weeks now, and today I turned on airplane mode, and then when I turned it back off the phone says I have no signal. I've restarted multiple times, went back to the stock ROM, restored from and couple day old backup and even re set up the google edition rom, still no signal. Anyone have anything similar, or help they could give?

Edit: I called an emergency number to see if it's still at least physically functional and that works, so there's definitely no hardware damage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AzWizzard:
I am running SACS V8 Rom with the Blue Theme. My father decided he really liked it and wanted it on his too.

So, I rooted his phone (Used ODIN and flashed CF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720.tar). He is on MF9.

I verified Root. Downloaded GooManager and went to have it install a Open Recovery (Just like I did on my phone.)

Problem is, when I tell it to Install Open Recover Script, it keeps coming up and saying "No Recoveries Were Found".

What's going on? It worked just fine when I ran it on my phone.

Any ideas????

I was going to use ODIN to try and install TWRP, but when I downloaded the TWRP 2.5.0.2 TAR file from the TWRP website, when I unzipped it, it was a .img file not a .tar so ODIN wouldn't see it.

Unfortunately, other apps can't access the files and show the mount points as empty folders.

However, there's a solution I will try to see if it fixes it.

It's known that it happens, its actually knox by samsung not Verizon if I'm not mistaken. Seen even non root users say they get them.

I got rid of them using xposed framework and the wanam xposed module.

Within the module there is a security hacks section where you turn off knox notifications. Check that and reboot they should be gone.

It doesn't work anymore on newer 4.3 Firmwares (MJ9 with Changelist:1986587 and newer)

Hello friends,

I found a solution how to have stock permissive kernel without having warranty bit label at boot. In my approach I will explain you how it works.

→ IT WILL WORK ONLY WITH STOCK KERNEL ;)

-> flash newest 4.3 firmware

-> root your S4 using CF-Auto-Root

-> install ES File Explorer or another root file explorer you like

-> remove Samsung KNOX manually ! (see my DE-SAMSUNGNIZER Script which apk's or folders you must delete)

-> install Universal Init.d Support and start the app (Click me)

-> enable init.d [if have problems by enabling init.d, you must have BusyBox before using the app]

-> download this script and copy it to system/etc/init.d using a file explorer

-> set the permissions to 777 (rwxrwxrwx)

-> reboot and enjoy your permissive stock kernel without having any labels at boot :good:

→ Video demonstration ←

Hi, after searching through many posts and trying different things which didn't solve my problem for ours, I decided to just ask...

I have a rooted HTC (Switzerland / Europe version) and I tried to unroot it with different "europe" RUU's from this forum, none worked but I saw in the comments that some of those RUU's required S-OFF. So without any experience whatsoever my mastermind decided to just give it a try and turn S-OFF with the moonshine method. I guess I chose the wrong file (again?) and it didnt work, it always ran 10 restarts in the moonshine method at the end and then the error message "don't drink and shine" popped up. So I gave up and just started the phone.

After starting, I realised that the WIFI and the camera wasn't working anymore (tried all I could) and again I came to this forum and looked for solutions. I tried to wipe everything on the phone, including data wipe and all the wiped I found in twrp. After I did that, I chose the option reboot and well, the phone didnt shut off anymore and I was stuck in the starting screen ( HTC - quitly brilliant -- with the text below: this build is for development....) I tried all the shut down methods with sound button down and so on, also to keep a fleshlight on it (found: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2418404 )

I don't know what else to do and I'm pretty much lost. I shouldn't have tried all this without the knowledge damn -.-

Blinking is good, just hold POWER + VOLDOWN with the phone sensors under a bright light (not kidding!!), it should reboot after 30sec to 2 minute. If it doesn't reboot, let go and try again; the bright light is important!!

OK, so you have two primary choices:

A) Stay S-On

B) Get S-Off: with the above hboot and firmware, you can easily get s-off using revone

Now, with an unlocked bootloader but S-ON, you can

---- flash custom or stock ROM

---- flash different radios (ie baseband)

---- flash custom kernel

---- flash custom recovery

you cannot:

---- you cannot flash unsigned firmware

---- you cannot downgrade (firmware and hboot)

---- you cannot remove TAMPERED

---- you cannot LOCKED your phone, at best it will say RELOCKED

---- you cannot run a

downgrade

RUU

With S-Off, you can do ALL of these and more, e.g. you can reset your phone to 100% out-of-the box, and you can even change your phone from a Vodafone phone to ANY other variant (eg unbranded European, US Developer, 100% Google Play Edition, etc.)

I'm in no way encouraging you to go S-Off, unless YOU are comfortable with the thought and procedure.

If you're looking at always having the latest releases, then I personally would stick with custom ROMs, these get updated way quicker (even if sometimes based on a leak), than carrier dependent OTAs.

Should you stay S-On, the only way to upgrade the firmware, will be using an official Vodafone OTA, in one of two methods:

1- go back to stock rom & stock recovery, download and install, and then reinstall custom ROM

2- get your hands on the OTA file (either by downloading it yourself, or if you find it on the net), then extract "firmware.zip" and flash it in fasboot RUU mode (this will work cause the OTA contains a signed firmware specifically for your phone)

[and you cannot downgrade if for some reason you would want to]

On the other hand, if you are S-Off, you can use an unsigned firmware package found in various threads.

Ok, that's enough for now, even my head is spinning :eek: LOL.

Let me know what you think, and if you need more explanations. Then rethink your ultimate goal, and we can proceed from there.

(Now all this writing deserves a thanks :D)
