I don't think it's compatible. It won't install. Has anyone else been able to get 4.3's dialer installed on 4.4? Or could it be because my rom is odexed?

Edit: I pulled the dialer apk out of my nandroid backup from 4.3. I put it in system/priv-app instead of system app with rw-r-r as the permissions. It works. However once a call is dialed, the keypad disappears so I can't end a call.

OK guys so here is my dilemma I have the nexus 5 with the signal issue ( keeps dropping me off the network ) so I have a replacement device on the way. Today I got a offer to trade for a brand new Sony xperia z1. I love the nexus 5 but I don't know what to do the build quality of the z1 is second to none. What would you do? Also the Sony is a locked boot loader so I won't be flashing many ROMS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incognitonk:
Fixed it by flashing a previously backed up Ariza-patched modem.

BACKUP YOUR MODEM!!!

Original Post
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
To my knowledge Ariza won't work on v2 efs, which is what you updated to when you flashed EMH. If your efs backup was made BEFORE you flashed EMHNan , then you should be able to format efs and restore it. A normal Nandroid doesn't backup efs.

Go read general, stickies efs 'know this stuff' thread.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You read the stickied EFS/IMEI guide .

But has you have messed with wrong stuff stop flashing and pay for a service repair .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incognitonk:
Ariza isnt downloading at all. Maybe the server's down or smth.

I did restore the EFS and its backup was done while in the ME7 firmware. I restored that. Nothing happened. No network. But I did get my IMEI back <Thank god>

Also, I have no idea what my country code is supposed to be, (I bought it second hand and the bottom sticker was torn out) so I am probably flashing a wrong firmware onto my phone. Anyway to tell which one I should download?

But, after ****ting my pants all day, I realised that I had backed up my Ariza patched modem from Philz recovery a while ago. So I restored my cyanogenmod backup, restored the EFS, and then restored the modem. Problem solved.

But I would love to have a pure stock phone without any patches though. I really want to flash the correct firmware onto my phone and I'd really appreciate any help on that topic.

Thanks for the info.

Having a bad day?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If you've flashed ariza patch then there is no way back to full stock without the original and unmodified efs folder.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incognitonk:
I thought Ariza patch didnt touch the efs folder.

Also, is the EFS folder responsible for the "Not registered on network issue" or is it because of the modem? I've never quite understood that despite of all the stickies. because when I got my phone it had a 4.1.2 firmware on it, I updated it to ME7 4.2.2 and got the Network issue. I doubt anything happened to the EFS folder at that moment.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] RR215:
I am un-rooted and have keep my N7 2 stock since I have had it. A few weeks ago I decided to try the free version of the Nova launcher. I decided to stay with the stock one after several days of trying it out, and thus uninstalled Nova from the settings app list.

Now on occasion the stock launcher freezes after swiping home screens back and forth...or exiting an app....or like things. Usually it just freezes and after 10 seconds or so it unfreezes. Sometimes I get a warning that the launcher stopped responding with the "quit/wait/cancel" popup.

So it seems installing and then a few days later uninstalling the Nova launcher has left some fragments or affected the stock launcher process.

Is there some sort of app/system clean up I can do without doing the system reset? I do not want to loose app settings.

Thanks for any suggestions.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lanwarrior:
I have the freezing issue even when I DID NOT install Nova.

[Nexus 5 General] primetimelive:
I've always found the on screen shutter button to be cumbersome when taking pictures and longed for phones that have dedicated shutter buttons. Since I'm a big fan of the Nexus line of phones, having a dedicated shutter button on the top right while holding the phone in landscape was a long shot.

Playing around with the Nexus 5 the past few days has opened up the possibilities of having a dedicated shutter button on the phone. Yeah, the volume button is on the lower left when holding the phone in landscape mode for pics, but I find it to be way better than tapping on that blue on screen button. Seems to be very ergonomic and in line with how the phone should be used when taking photos.

Do you guys use the volume button when taking photos or do you just use the on screen button?

Try using the volume button when taking photos with your Nexus 5. You might just like it :)
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
I actually hit it accidentally with my thumb trying to take a picture one time. Pleasantly surprised. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
Love this! Didn't even know :)
[Nexus 5 General] cooooooop:
News to me, thanks for pointing this feature out, this is really useful. Makes me wonder if some of the poor reviews of the camera's inability to focus quickly enough might have been mitigated by this knowledge.
[Nexus 5 General] primetimelive:
I find that it still takes a while to focus. However it makes it so that the phone is a little bit more stable since you have two hands supporting the phone as you would as if you were holding a camera.

Stable phone = better pics
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
Rotate the phone the other way, it's now on the top-right! ;)
[Nexus 5 General] primetimelive:
LOL but then the Nexus logo on the back is upside down! How will people know that I'm taking their pic with a Nexus phone? j/k :)

:cool:
[Nexus 5 General] Scottland:
Not really, pressing the volume button instead of the on screen shutter triggers the same action. The focus issues seem software related so should be fixed in a future release hopefully...
[Nexus 5 General] skippa:
Thanks for the heads up on this. didnt know you could do this!!
[Nexus 5 General] primetimelive:
No problem. I actually thought it was widely known. I just wanted to see if people use it a lot.

I had a Galaxy Nexus before the 5 and I would use the volume button as a shutter on occasion. However the volume button on the GNex is situated lower and isn't too ergonomic when for taking pics. The Nexus 5 on the other hand, seems to be more suited to have the volume button as the shutter since the volume buttons are at the right place for your fingers when you're holding the phone as a camera.

I wonder if the designers took this into consideration when they designed the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] wyrman:
So hows this give us better pictures. I'm not into cameras as you can see.
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
It may not. Try it and see
[Nexus 5 General] mattcoz:
But, the way I hold it, my finger then covers the lens. Also, it ends up displaying a black bar on the left side, very weird. Why doesn't the camera user immersive mode? :confused:

I usually use the on screen button, since I'm often touching the screen to focus anyway.

The Nexus 5 does not have an optical zoom so "zooming in" is actually cropping the picture. Don't zoom in unless you're using and optical lens. It's better to just step closer.
[Nexus 5 General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
In a perfect world they'd have a dedicated shutter button like the Motorola Droid. CM roms added the ability to use the volume buttons as zoom, and that was the ultimate combo. Unfortunately that phone was slow as hell even in 2010.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] agentaaron:
Locked boot loader means that you cannot install custom roms on the phone. There are certain tweaks that can be installed through CWM, there are also a few modified (themed and tweaked) stock roms floating around in the general section of this forum.

I can honestly say that once you delete most of the bloat, apply a few tweaks...our phone runs just fine on stock-ish firmware.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] noob.gamer:
Just stay on modded stock. ( check kuma82's ROM in dev section ) If you want to install custom roms then you HAVE to unlock your bootloader.

Really annoying that it wasn't implimented on the original firmware to be able to move apps to the sd card. It seems like a very long running theme with android that there are all sorts of issues moving apps to the sd card. Best way i was able to take advantage of my sd card was with my old lg p509 using the ungazed script.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] GSLEON3:
Dude, it's 100% subjective. Like asking what color should be your favorite. Especially right now, since 4.4 was just released. Try them out & decide which works for YOU. There are 1,000's of review videos if you want to see features & hear opinions.

Personally, I'm sticking with stock for awhile. Then I'll use PA, once it is significantly different from stock, which right now none of them really are, unless you want a 4.3 version. Plus, I prefer AOSP over CAF, so I dumped CM a while ago.

Same here, my wifi works way better now on 4.4. No more heavy buffering on youtube, even when HD.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulicro:
Yeah, my WiFi speeds went way down as well. My flashing process was manually flashing the factory images, booting up once, going back to recovery, doing a factory reset + dalvik wipe, then installing the new version of the N5 port that includes all the libs and what not for the N4 from the N4 factory images. Baseband / Radio are properly updated.

So, granted, there could be something messed up with the N5 rom - although up until now (that is, before flashing the factory images and using their updated version that includes the N4 libs) WiFi worked fine.

I'm gonna try and give it a little while, maybe reset the device, I dunno. I'll be keeping an eye out for updates from you guys though. If mine fixes itself by a random chance, I'll let everyone know.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Preggy:
I dont know if that could be the source of you problem, but that ip-address looks pretty nasty... Check your router configuration and/or apply a static ip to your g2 in the form of 192.168.xxx.xxx (it probably needs to be on the same subnet (same address except last group of numbers) as your pc...)

What I had to enter in my explorer to get it to work was

\\192.168.xxx.xxx\G2

(Replace the x'es with your actual ip and don't forget the \G2 at the end)

You can also map that address as a network-volume for easier access later.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amokkx:
That IP isnt nasty at all.

10.x.x.x. is also used for LANs, just as 192.168..

[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] hameerabbasi:
First, I'm on Carbon ROM (13/11 Nightly) and Plasma Kernel 2.02. I noticed it had the frandom module (and was probably linking it to /dev/random and /dev/urandom too, since /dev/random.ori and /dev/urandom.ori existed. But since every entropy checker ever was showing 4096 constant, I suspect it linked both to /dev/erandom. To work around this, I wrote the following init.d script (named 20frandom):

#!/system/bin/sh

if [ -e /dev/frandom ];
then
mv /dev/random /dev/random.orig
ln -s /dev/random /dev/frandom
fi

if [ -e /dev/erandom ];
then
mv /dev/urandom /dev/urandom.orig
ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/erandom
fi

(Yes, I did put an empty enter there). I set permissions to rwx for user and r-x for others with root explorer. I tried executing the script (worked fine), ls showed the extra .orig files, but root explorer would constantly crash. Tried rebooting, bootloop. Deleted the init.d script from recovery, we're back!

But is there some unwritten rule I'm breaking here? Why the bootloop? Any way around this?
