[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewis79:
I have a Samsung s3 & tab 2 10". Have just purchased my 2 children a tab 3 each. Can I set up their tabs so the music on my Google Play account can be used across all devices, but I do not want the games they download being shared to my phone and tab?

Will I need to set them up with a new email account each or can it all run from the one account?

Hope this makes sense and someone will be able to point me in the right direction. Any advice will be useful

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewis79:
Anybody??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhan47:
Haven't tested because I don't use them myself... but I think in 'User accounts' in settings, you can make them individual accounts and restrict what apps they have access to.

Edit - just re-read your post. Games they download shouldn't automatically install on your phone and tab, they'll just been seen in your 'my apps' section on the Play Store.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebug:
This is correct between my wife and I we have a phone and a tablet each so 4 devices all linked to the same play account, we have different apps on all the devices, when one of us downloads some thing the other would not know unless you go to the account history. You can also set up multiple gmails on each device and then go in to the setting and set it as the main one or tell it not to download mails and what not from the other accounts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewis79:
Thanks Akhan & Davebug.

Is this the same for music that is downloaded to the play account, will it play on all the devices. Like, dare I say the word, Itunes you can set up different play lists and load those to each device is this or something similar available on google play music??

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 General] Batou069:
So, the Nexus 5 is out

And next year the Nexus 6 will be out, I guess...

but what will happen then? Google can't release a Nexus 7, since they already have it...

What do you think will be their solution?
[Nexus 5 General] NovaSlim:
It won't be Nexus 6, just like this year's Nexus 7 wasn't called Nexus 8. We are going to be looking at a Nexus 5 2014 or "the New Nexus 5".
[Nexus 5 General] Amaterasu89:
i think it is named NEXUS 5 because of the nearly 5" Screen.

The next NEXUS will probably be named the NEW NEXUS 5
[Nexus 5 General] ryude:
The number is an indicator of it's screen size, not generation. There has already been 2 Nexus 7s. It's called Nexus 7 (2013).
[Nexus 5 General] nitrogen618:
Nexus5V2
[Nexus 5 General] onmike:
At some point I think it'd just be "Nexus."
[Nexus 5 General] M0ns73R:
My guess is that it will either be called Nexus 5 (2014) or they will just come up with a new name.
[Nexus 5 General] WezzleD:
Well a bunch of people already said it but I'll say it again.

Its based on screen size. We will most likely get 'The New Nexus 4/5" or "Nexus 4/5 20xx Edition" they might make a nexus 6 depending on how well people like the Galaxy Note line up and other 5.5in+ screened phones.
[Nexus 5 General] barondebxl:
Nexus prime. They should use that name officially for the next nexus.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Or they might go to letters though that's less likely. Like maybe they say the nexus g or nexus z, etc. Maybe they'll say something like nexus x like the moto x though none have the same ring to them. I like what you said about nexus prime though I think that's too flashy for them
[Nexus 5 General] wngmv:
Neuxs 5s

or not.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Hanna they'd get their a**es sued by apple if they did that
[Nexus 5 General] cutterjohn:
Roman numerals.
[Nexus 5 General] Lucke:
this crap again? nobody knows for sure if the N5 was named such because of the 5th gen Nexus phone, or the 5" screen size (although the N4's 4.7" was much closer to 5" than 4")

lets all just enjoy the Nexus 5 for what it is and stop this retarded speculation of a phone that is a year away from being produced (if it gets made at all, since there is no guarantee in the first place)
[Nexus 5 General] RusherDude:
They cannot use the "Nexus 6" name whatsoever.

Blade Runner and co. own the rights.
[Nexus 5 General] b.spec:
Pull a Final Fantasy. Obviously the best idea.

Nexus V-2.
[Nexus 5 General] JCreazy:
They could name it after the major Android release. Like they could have called the Nexus 5 "The Nexus KitKat" and then next year could be "The Nexus Licorice, or Lemondrop, or whatever they are going to call it." Or so it doesn't sound so silly, they could just use the letter. Nexus K, Nexus L, etc...
[Nexus 5 General] ceo.mtcl:
They'll start calling it Google 1
[Nexus 5 General] Itchiee:
The Nexus 5s!
[Nexus 5 General] ericdabbs:
Duh isn't it obvious? Its going to be called the Nexus 5S just like Apple!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AlexandrCool_T:
I installed BeanStalk Build 4.3.1015.

After the set back and Stock android cwm.

Ceased to go into cwm (vol + vol -). After the firmware is included in the cwm.

Decided to return to BeanStalk. Now when you install TWRP says "no md5 file found"

I wanna install BeanStalk

Help plz.

Sorry for my bad English
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eZdubzitmk4:
Every time you flash a ROM in twrp it always says md5 not found. Install twrp from goo app
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astralix:
Hi!

Some guys and me are working on Android now for long time. Most times we had clear different parts we where working on, so two guys working on kernels, one on adaption of Android, one was testing and keeping contact to the community.

Now, cloning a kernel and merging some changes on drivers is a simple thing. And even changing a file on android, putting it into a git or simply on an ftp is easy too...

Well, now things have changed. Android is getting more complex and kernel work is mostly done.So we do more and more work in Android with more and more people.

Ok, one would say, take a plain android by using repo sync. Add your vendor parts for kernel and android and add them as a separate git. Ready you are...

Unfortunately that may work if you build your own device, based on plain naked android and a well supported mainlined kernel... But reality is different and chinese reality is even different^2. Hacking andoid devices where you do not have access to the OEM gits, kernels, not even datasheets or schematics is a hell of work... and all of these OEMs just checked out the complete android, put it in their own git and modified 1000 parts 'n pieces of it.

This isn't only a problem of bandwidth to upload such a monster, but all your friends supporting you have to clone that monster again. And after a while a new android version comes and you have great mess:

You cannot find differences from your old version to the new google version as many files have been changed by the OEM.

But you cant just "repo upload" cause google or CM might not be very eager to get dumb chinese deep down below android changes in their repos.

How do you team up with others and sync your android changes? Is there a good tutorial that handles not only the way it should be, but covers all these real-life issues?

I'd really appreciate your tips

This is the Android 4.4 Kitkat bootanimation.

It is optimized for our GS3's 720p display!

Installation Guide:

1. You must first have custom bootanimation enabled for whatever ROM that you're using.

2. Download the file and place it to your internal storage [recommended].

3. Reboot into recovery and install zip from your SD card.

4. Reboot your device and enjoy the google like bootanimation. :D

** You can use this mod by anbech to enable and disable custom bootanimation. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897969

I couldn't get the zip to flash via recovery, but I was able to extract the boot animation file from the zip file, and install it via ROM Toolbox on my Ravr M using KitKat.

thanks!

nice boot animation !!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ortind200:
is there a way to backup the Note 3 after rooting it without tripping the knox flag?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NeoAndroid:
Backing up a stock ROM is kinda pointless since you can always ODIN the original firmware. However, you can now use Titanium Backup for your apps and SMS Backup and Restore for your text messages and not trip Knox.

Alternatively, you can use Samsung Kies for general backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ortind200:
that wont work since i need to backup all my system settings and app settings. so i got 2 questions:

1) will adb backup save my system settings?

2) will titanium save my personal settings of my apps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NeoAndroid:
From my experience, Titanium Backup restores even my login info so I believe it saves everything. I believe it even backs up system apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ortind200:
so it saves app settings according to u.. but will it save system settings also? if not do u suggest an app that does?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NeoAndroid:
Here's the bottom line. As of right now, until someone figures out a way to circumvent Knox, it's kinda pointless. Let's say you are able to backup your \system partition. In order to Restore it, you will need to go through Recovery. Any custom recovery will trip Knox as of this time. So let me do some more digging or until someone has any input. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ortind200:
yeah sounds good.. and thank u i appreciate all ur help.. lets keep working at this.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Xanathoscl:

every time i close an app and return to home screen my keyboard pops up. Nothing to worry about, but i dont think it's supposed to be.

google keyboard causes trouble so i jumped back to android aosp keyboard.

Try reading... It will do you good. Its written in the first post

Ok Thanks

Nope: Just flash from pabx's cwm recovery;)

Change keyboard to Android. Hope it helps.

after a full reload, my battery keeps saying i have 100%, unfortunately thats not the reality.......
[Xperia Z Android Development] mcteague:
Cheers mate, I don't want to seem like I'm jumping ship but that urge to flash is too strong, anyway a little competition is only gonna make all ROMs better.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Hang on there seems to be some controversy between this and pabx's rom... lets see what happens...
[Xperia Z Android Development] mcteague:
Hi there just to let you know I wasn't having a go, all credit to you for showing thanks to Pabx, in actual fact I only learnt of you ROM from his thread, let's hope we can have a billion 4.4 ROMs with each one unique.

So awesome

Thanks dev

Hi there,

I would like to try on this ROM. What do I need to do if I come from a totally different version of custom ROM, for example, Monxdified Honami rom with Doom kernel ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Wipe, data factory reset and then flash rom. Then flash the boot.img
[Xperia Z Android Development] arpith.fbi:
Hi.. Want to try kitkat.. But had a doubt.. Do we have to flash boot.img even separately using flashtools if bootloader is unlocked?

Well I am travelling and don't have my lappy with me and lazy to go through all those steps of flashtools :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Flash the boot.img via ADB. No flashtools
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
New version today XD
[Xperia Z Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
It seems that you missed my previous post, or ignored it. Whatever, I post it again..

1) Is undervolting supported by kernel?

2) Do the kernel (boot.img) come with modules like ECO-Mode (dual-core simulation for better battery life)?

3) What CPU Governors and I/O Scheulders are included? Wanna list and share them?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Kernel questions should be refered to [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION].
[Xperia Z Android Development] LonPete67:
Almost flawless

Only found 2 very minor issues. Chrome wouldn't launch. I know its been mentioned before and as I use Chrome Beta as my daily browser it wasn't a problem. The other is problem is when I do a screenshot...the preview image is garbled but the screenshot comes out fine.

I am completely blown away how stable and fast the ROM is and would like to say a HUGE thank you for everyone's effort.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Ok will do thank you. Check your PM btw
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rosch89:
Anyone using this with a 64GB card?
[Xperia Z Android Development] heubergen:
Thanks for the dev! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] beni8978:
New version? When? :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
not sure when pabx said goodbye to XDA :mad::(
[Xperia Z Android Development] ianrobbie:
Quick question(s) - I'm assuming we have to flash the boot.img to re-enable custom recovery, is that right?

Which boot.img do I flash? (Never mind, went back and re-read the thread)

Is this stable enough to use as a daily driver?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Yeah its stable enough. Boot.IMG is so the ROM will boot. Its required
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
Same here..i deleted with titanium backup chrome and downloaded from market...ALL OK

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Atm i'm testing this ROM

i have problem with first 2 version...but this one is really good...no problem till now (except continuous Chrome forceclose that i solved with chrome from the market and not the one included in the rom)

All we need now is a good/customizable kernel with more tweak and customization (like a doomkernel for 4.4 XD)
[Xperia Z Android Development] schlei:
hi, great rom so far.

but after setting up my phone with all my apps suddendly the back button doesnt work no more.

and the google calendar istn syncing. any suggestions for my probs

thx, i love my xperia with this clean 4.4 look :D

edit: suddendly back button is working again...

edit 2: deinstalling chrome with titanium backup and reinstall from market make chrome working.
[Xperia Z Android Development] beni8978:
I think we need better optimisation of the Rom..The performance is pretty okay.

Battery draining faster than stock with doomkernel.

Big thanks for the devs!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
When an app don't work (if is on the market) try deleting the app included (titanium backup) with the rom and download the market version

worked for me
[Xperia Z Android Development] beni8978:
2.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
Of course...doomkernel permit undervolting/more governator, scheduler and other interesting stuff.

more then optimization we need a working advanced kernel for this rom
[Xperia Z Android Development] schlei:
thx for reply.

btw. watching out for performance, my experience with doom kernel is not so good.

my scores are variating with doom kernel from 18k to 20k

with advanced stock kernel i always get over 20k up to 21k.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
Performance is a little (LOT) different from benchmark records...

You can have better using performace with lower scores on benchmark XD

A string or a tweak (who say Samsung?) can modify result in benchmark, without real improvement in performace
[Xperia Z Android Development] bariz143:
If i havent read this post i would have flashed it like your instructions on the first post. Maybe a good idea to change it then??

The boot.img is required thing isnt listed on the flashing instruction!
[Xperia Z Android Development] schlei:
i totally agree with u, and i think this rom here has a lot of potential to go up to one of the best roms for our xperia z.

im really looking forward and for now i will keep this rom.

edit : is there a fix for google calendar sync issues ??
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
I only flashed ZIP via recovery without flashing boot.img and all is fine....
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
One user reported that you re-install it via Google Play.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
Starfighter...do you have plan (or there is the possibility) to reduce dimension of icon in this rom...

Tester of Nexus 5 criticized google choice to use larger icon, especially compared to Stock xperia icon dimension.

thank you
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Its hard to see from screenshots without it being proportional to the phone when holding it. Ill have a look. Ill probably also upload the new version today as I have some school work due today
[Xperia Z Android Development] ianrobbie:
Install Build Prop Editor from the Play Store and change the LCD Density setting to a smaller DPI.

A few pages back, someone posted that they had problems with the keyboard continually popping up. I have the same problem and it's getting tiresome. Anybody any idea how to stop it? It was happening with the Android keyboard. I installed Swiftkey and it's doing the same thing.

Aside from that, the ROM is amazingly stable and smooth. Amazing to think 4.4 was only released a few days ago.

You guys surely are legends (Although a "Kill All" button in the Recents menu would be nice!)
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Use the Android keyboard. Not Google Keyboard.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ianrobbie:
Aaaah, OK. Another thing I've found is that some apps have no text. Specifically my banking apps. Whenever I open them up, all the buttons and images are there, just no text. Weird.

Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Yeah you need to provide me with your bank details, card and pin and then I can sort that out. No I was joking... Which application is this? I can ask someone to try it too as I have not got an Xperia Z
[Xperia Z Android Development] LonPete67:
Do you still have root? I'm thinking you don't.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ianrobbie:
It's the Royal Bank of Scotland app. Could it be because I've changed the DPI? That's the only change to the build.prop I've made.

Quick edit. Disabled Google Keyboard and Swiftkey but pop-up keyboard still a problem.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Change DPI to 480 and see if both of those bugs disappear
[Xperia Z Android Development] ianrobbie:
Bugger. Changed the DPI back and it fixed the keyboard issue, but not the app issue. Is there any other way to change the DPI? I know Xposed isn't 4.4 compatible yet and I hate having a Home Screen that assumes you're an old man with glaucoma.

I've tried uninstalling the app, rebooting and re-installing but still no joy. At least I know it's an app issue now, though.
[Xperia Z Android Development] joibins:
Hi, thanks for the rom where can I find the gnome settings?
