Many side-loaded games will run upside down no matter the orientation.. You can fix this using the rotation lock button :)

I have bought shadowrun returns at least 2 times already (android,ipad) and would purchase it again if it was available on amazon store.. I had to instead side-load it and it works great :D

And thanks for pointing out that all installed apps DO indeed show when looking under "on device" :p silly me:cyclops:

Better Terminal Emulator - FC

I run Better Terminal Emulator Pro (BTEpro) [side loaded] on my droid devices for command line access as root to poke around, move files, etc. Currently, BTEpro runs fine on the KF HDX 8.9 until you try to open the stock keyboard, which results in a force close (FC) & the keyboard remains active after the FC. :(

EDIT: even though BTE results in FC when opening the stock keyboard, it will work great with an external BT keyboard :)

How were you able to side load shadowrun. I bought it on my Toshiba thrive and now want to move it to my new kindle fire . The file explorer app fails to generate a setup .apk file for paid apps. where did you get the apk ?

Thanks in advance.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kschang:
You can't sideload a paid app... AFAIK. However, I have no problem Getting Google Play store to work if you use HDX Utility to install it. Then you have best of both worlds: something that runs both Amazon AND Google. I have plenty of games I bought and play through both.

hi i have a question about WidgetLocker Lockscreen app, which i recently bought it,

this app keeps on running on the background? and it take around 22MB of Ram when you restart your fon, and it will go up to 60MB after phone usage of 3-4 hours.

my question is, will this app slowdown your phone after 1-2 week of phone use?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weirdear:
Hi, so I'm having issues with my completely stock nexus 5. locked bootloader, not rooted.

For apps like whatsapp and textplus, I don't always receive the notification. I will get it if i swipe the app away from the recent list and re-open the app, then the messages will pop right up. Or if i send a message in whatsapp and it wont go through, if i swipe it away and reopen it, it sends.

Any ideas? Happens on wifi and cell data.

This didn't happen with my HTC G2 (Vision) or HTC One S.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quizco:
Hey guys,

I flashed NeatROM recently for the 4.3 update.

Followed these steps before flashing:

Everything went well and the rom works fine.

I went in to flash a custom kernel earlier and when I selected install from zip I noticed that all my data/folders from the previous rom were still present. The new data is now in a ' 0\ ' folder.

I was running a 4.1.2 rom with Siyah kernel before I flashed 4.3. I also had a build of carbon flashed as a second rom for a short time. I'm guessing this has something to do with the data left behind.

I just want to start with a clean slate and wipe the internal SD completely; will megawipe (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1832326&page=38) do what I need it or do I need to format the SD from within CWM?

Thanks in advance.

p.s. after such a wipe is it better to flash a new rom via ODIN or would it be okay just use a zip from an external SD.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bornlivedie:
You need to format /data partition. Megawipe will work. But, IHMO, no need for that. Just do it yourself from CWM.

Also, theres a big difference between odin "roms" and flashable zip roms.

If you flash something via Odin, it means that's probably (or surely) an official Samsung firmware without modifications. A flashable zip one is a custom rom.

Depends what you need/want. Most of us here use custom roms that we flash via cwm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quizco:
Thanks for the quick reply, bornlivedie.

I'll do it via the CWM /data format over the weekend. Cheers.

My mistake for not being clearer in my original post; I have flashed a few custom roms before so I did know that Odin's generally reserved for flashing official sammy roms and customs go through custom recoveries.

Thanks for the heads up and the concern though. Much appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Going to 4.3 I'd recommend formatting the internal sd in CWM, also system, data and preload. If you read neat rom thread you see similar advice, the 5.4 aroma installer comes with Philz 5.15 recovery which is the best CWM to use.

This nightlie build of cyanogenmod 11 is of course unofficial! i may continue doing this but its going to be sporadic..

​

as per usual:

I am not responsible if you brick your phone, for any bugs in the rom,
or if your cat decides to eat your phone because its now full of awesome.

This build is very much identical with the official build, u can switch from official and my build without any fear of having to wipe your phone.. the only difference is that i have the build script change the cyanogenmod version to more reflect like a nightly

Known Issues

:

Possible 3g/4g switching issues

Instructions

:

Download rom

Go to recovery

Wipe rom if coming from another rom, u dont have to wipe if ur coming from official kitkat stock rom

Flash rom

Flash gapps

Boot into rom

???

Profit!

the torrent file only contains the rom, it uses a webseed, code.google.com. u can use this if u ever have to pause to download or such.. u dont have to seed, i dont mind.. but others might like u to

To Flash, use CWM 6.0.4.3 or TWRP 2.6.3.0 which you have to manually flash

Current and older builds can be found here:

MediaFire

AndroidFileHost

Google Drive

A special thanks goes to Paranoid Android for already having Gapps ready for us, and of course google for this wonderful code that is kitkat =]

To all people saying thanks: Your welcome!! ^_^

Mirrors

Are there any mirrors? I have been trying to download for a half an hour and I am also wondering why is this build so humongous? If you provide link to gapps I am assuming that gapps is not in the package so. I am happy to see this up, I am however, jonesing to flash it which is impossible to do without the file!

THank you for your work!

YEAH 0 seeds! Why a torrent?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
I feel the same way. If CM is supporting our device then we have the most dev support and best chance at a graphic glitch fix. I don't think it'll be very soon per se but CM support means the most possible devs (hopefully willing) are working on this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
yes, there is the rom on my Google drive.. I have been trying to research about Google drives bandwidth limits with no results.. next build the torrent will have the Google drive link as a seed too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] refthemc:
I wouldn't put to much hope on CM support for Toro, try looking at the most recent CM support we had with the Data drops on 4.3...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
[MENTION=3902891]justen7723[/MENTION] - I'm trying out the "Experience" 4.4 toro ROM, and after seeing your post checked, and I indeed appeared to have lost root, despite having flashed supersu v1.69 zip right after the ROM. But... I just went to the Play store, installed Super SU and fired it up. It noted that it needed to update the binary, and I chose the option to have it use "CWM or TWRP" to install the binary (I have the latest CWM Touch installed, which is what i used to wipe the phone and flash the ROM in the first place -- when Philz Touch catches up, I'll go back to that, for for now straight CWM works fine). The phone booted into CWM, ran the script that Super SU had created, installed the new binary, booted up -- and now Android Root Toolkit confirms that I am, indeed, rooted, and I can check -- grant superuser status as needed. All working now. Suggest you give it a try -- works fine in this ROM, and I suspect it would work for you as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhr5474:
I am

Running this rom now. I was finally able to get it downloaded and I am seeding now. If the OP does not mind I will upload to a file hosting site and that way it does not have to be a torrent. Let me know you can PM me if you would like.

By the way seems very smooth, only question I have is what is up with the file size? It is monstrous!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Maybe, maybe not. I've been running the M1 SNAPSHOT and have had zero date issues with my phone. The rom is super-stable and I love it. If we don't get a almost not bug CM11 I will be happy with CM10.2 4.3.1 the way it is now in the M1 status.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

Thank you for this. I will try it out and report any issues. Not going to run any mods at all or alternate kernals...

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

I've ran this for about an hour or so. The only thing I majorly notice is the graphical glitches. When I go into ScoreCenter and click on game previews, the text that it tries to bring up is glitching and you can't even read it, while it blacks out certain parts. So far though, this would be pretty close to being a daily driver for my 1-2 hour experience. No random reboots even though Google auto-installed like 20+ apps in a row, and I uninstalled many default Google apps through Titatium Backup.

Great start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
i do apologize the confusion people are having.. I do have it on my Google drive with the link to it in the op.. u may make mirrors =]

Just wondering, serious question, if were using ART instead of dalvik, does wiping dalvik in recovery actually have any effect anymore?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kmcrane:
+1 I have wondered this too.

What are the steps I should take? I am on 11-25 now, lets say a new 11-26 comes out.

What do I wipe and flash, if I want to do a dirty flash? I used to wipe cache and dalvik/cache before and after flashing all my .zip's.

Do you need to flash gapps every time? Or just the first time after a clean install?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
I have not wiped dalvik/cache for any of the last 3 or 4 builds, ART rebuilds all the apps upon update by itself so there is really no necessary reason. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJW979:
Thought so but wasn't totally sure.

Hey nephilim .... I remember you from Anarkia's kernel & Project Chicago ... are your Mopkang 1080 kernel settings in this thread or it's own ... the Tapatalk search function apparently SUCKS

Also, does the latest ROM update in Google Drive have a randomly generated alphanumeric "name" ???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
My custom kernel settings can be found in my thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44514476#post44514476

I was using Mpokang 1080p Kernel but found on the Mpokang thread that someone made the Mpokang SuperRam kernel work with 4.4 by using CM ramdisk, It has been known to cause issues on some roms but on swordrune's 11/27 CM11 unofficial I can personally confirm it works amazing!

Here is a link to the SuperRam 4.4 version if you would like to try it out: http://www.mediafire.com/download/b2om0ne8k69bdkd/Mpokang_kernel-v10_SuperRAM-4.4.zip

So, this ROM vs FML... I'm trying to figure out which one is more stable. My Nexus JUST got in the mail, so I'm wanting to try stuff!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C.Hatfield:
My bad, I abbreviated my reference to the mopkang kernel and I have been using the 4.4 version with the cm ramdisk with AMAZING RESULTS as well ! I have been using the cMetal's latest version of CM 11 which has been my best experience of 4.4 this far .... add the opt. mpkg kernel, faggidaboudit .... my GNEX hasn't run so snappy .... perhaps, ever ?!

I have a few small tweaks applied to bootpulse_duration + hispeed_freq & input_boost_freq and -50 uv that I've picked up here and there (osm0sis ?) BUT I wanted to know what you were doing specifically with the mopkang 4.4.

Many Thanks for the link (I know I have it bookmarked somewhere) .... I'll go back and recheck why I got a strange alphanumeric name generation bc I know ROM naming is almost ALWAYS specific (esp XDA) .... it read like obscure Google Code 'naming' ... maybe I accidentally hit that link in the OP in the Tapatalk app.

IRRegardless (lol), your contributions are always welcomed & tremendously appreciated by myself & seemingly, many others !

Thanks Again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
So... This ROM vs Other CM11 roms... How does it fare? And I noticed that the notification bar has a blue tint... Is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
"blue tint"? What do you mean, on the homescreen there isn't even a notification bar at all and as for the other apps it's pure black.

Also, please try to have a little patience, there was no need for you to ask about this rom twice in a matter of 35 minutes. The rom is amazing, very smooth, lightning fast when paired with Mpokang SuperRam kernel and my custom settings as well as great battery life using ART runtime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Sorry about that, I posted once on the wrong thread. I just noticed that. I think the blue tint is screen burn in from the notification bar. It's strange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Yea, it might be your device, I haven't seen any tint on the notification bar. ;)

umm... just flash 11/27 and its stuck on the bootscreen. Not a bootloop just the boot screen spinning at normal speed... My volume rocker hasn't been working which is normally fine but now I can't get into recovery to flash a backup... any way to force it into recovery from adb at this stage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Link_of_Hyrule:
Adb reboot recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Yeah. I'm running an app to reverse burn it at night, just leave my device covered at night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewsipher:
from the boot screen? it is saying device not found...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Link_of_Hyrule:
Make sure that the drivers are properly installed and it shows up in your device manager. Other wise just battery pull I'd imagine you have already done that by now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
he may have to do a battery pull like u said, I had to wife my wife nexus 7.. it was kinda hard to get the back off and the battery wire u just slip it out.. after that idk how to force itself into recovery since it volume rocker isn't working
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewsipher:
I have battery pulled. Its stuck swirling the thing around angry cid.... I think I could unscrew the back, but I don't know how the volume crap works. Ahhh I am sweating bullets. Gotta live on the edge all the time :-p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Link_of_Hyrule:
If you do a battery pull while it's plugged in it won't shut off so make sure it's unplugged. I think if you long hold the power button it's suppose to turn off but that could be the Nexus 7 I forget lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewsipher:
thats the 7. I have had it unpluggged, battery pull, put back battery, booted back up same swirly angry cid. ADB isn't recognizing the phone at all. Thanks for the help you are giving me though.... I think I have a screwdriver I could unscrew the back if there is a way to push the volume on the board itself...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Link_of_Hyrule:
To get to recovery you hold up and down at the same time and power on from an off state. Make sure the phone is showing up properly in the Windows device manager I wouldn't recommend taking it apart...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewsipher:
the volume rocker doesnt work at all. The phone doesnt turn on so it currently isn't appearing as a device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradg24:
Open the back with a I think a number 0 screwdriver and on the side the volume rocker presses on a board that is connected on the motherboard with a flex cable. Make sure it has a good connection. Every part on are gnex is a snap on like Lego's or clipped just make sure something didn't get loose. If its loose or broke a repair is cheap like 6 USD with a power button replacement. YouTube will show you how to change all parts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewsipher:
just tried that and no go... It has been a blast, and I love this phone dearly despite the battery being the worst, but... this may be it for me... I am going to borrow a razr m from a friend and think about the cyber monday deal on a moto x... So long nexus land... and thanks for all the fish

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hack.Me:
Glad to see there was some traction found on the errors I had reported to you. No longer an issue unless I switch to ART and as long as I stay in Dalvik I seem to be running error free.

Also, It seems like this new version has an issue with the default SMS app displaying two messages every time a message is sent out. I was reading through the cMetal thread and it seems to be happening to him as well, so perhaps it's a CM thing.

For now I'll try going back to a previous build until it can be sorted out.

edit to also mention that while I was screwing with the 11/29 build I also saw several issues with connecting via 4G. The mobile data settings kept reverting back to 3G after selecting LTE, and I could never get the LTE to connect. I'm back on 11/27 now and everything seems back to normal.
