[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwalbach:
Hey guys,

Just got my phone and was not impressed with the battery life. I know the general concept of letting the battery settle, etc, but I had a couple questions:

1) What apps/services did you freeze/uninstall on Titanium?

2) Is Android Tuner worth it or do the G2 Xposed/CIQ disabler/etc replace enough of these functions to save the 10 bucks?

Thanks!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonayie2:
I followed this tutorial, the mac version, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2019273, step by step. And it is stuck at the booting animation. Is there anything I can do to make it useable? Is it supposed to take 30+ min? Please help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonayie2:
Thank goodness. I fixed it using the instructions here:

http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1ra0jc/because_kit_kat_botched_update_nexus_is_hanging/

I didn't follow it verbatim once I understood the gist of it. What I did was download the nexus 4 images from google's site: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images (as instructed in the above link). I chose to downgrade to 4.2.2 from kit kat as it has given me far less issues. I extracted the .tgz and flashed the bootloader, radio and image like instructed.

Now it does still gives the same issue of being stuck on the bootloader screen as before. But here I employed this method here https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2936226?hl=en

Then voila. Booted up factory-reseted.
[NFC Hacking] abuttino:
If you may or may not know, AOSP didn't get the NXP HCE controller driver so we can use Google wallet with Roms such as cm11.

As far as I've read, decompilation of JNI CPP files for the NFC stack is needed.

I've tried to drum up effort elsewhere to no avail. Hopefully someone here wants wallet to work on all ROMs.. Tomorrow I'll start a dev project and hope people can contribute.
[NFC Hacking] AMoosa:
I'm running gummy Rom (AOSP) on my s4. I'm not a developer but can help with testing or pulling files off. Let me know how I can help
[NFC Hacking] abuttino:
Unfortunately, the s4 has a broadcomm chip and the information is there for that.

If you can help with the decompiling, that still would be awesome
[NFC Hacking] Entropy512:
Unfortunately, decompiling JNI stuff requires some VERY expensive tools (Hex-Rays Decompiler for ARM is a few thousand dollars)

I do happen to know someone who owns such tools, so they MIGHT be able to help, although unfortunately, the nature of decompiled native code is that it is often a MASSIVE nightmare to read. (This is why, for example, there still isn't decent AOSP hwcomposer support for Samsung Exynos4 - we've fed blobs to a guy with hex-rays but the result is a massive convoluted near-unreadable nightmare.)
[NFC Hacking] abuttino:
Well, if you can get your people to decompile it, at least we can hand it off to the next person that might be able to make some sense out of it.

I have the files posted in the devdb project on this forum.

If needed, I'll see what Dan Rosenberg says, once we have something for him to look at.

Thanks for chiming in, I appreciate it, and hopefully the community with 4.4 ROMs and aosp with NXP do to.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] evilgrin98:
Just a tip I've been tinkering with since root came out: I have an Android phone, rooted with ES File Explorer. Backing up apps using this service stores relevant APKs in sdcard/backups/apps. Using Bittorrent Sync, this folder can be shared across mobile devices without having a sync folder on a computer. Follow these steps for a somewhat seamless connection:

1) Install ES File Explorer and Bittorrent Sync on your Android phone.

2) Root your HDX and install ES File Explorer and Bittorrent Sync.

3) On your phone using ES File Explorer's App Manager, back up the apps you want on your HDX.

4) On your phone, open Bittorrent Sync and select the BACKUP tab. Add a new folder, sdcard/backups/apps. Email the secret to yourself.

5) On your HDX, open your email and copy your phone's secret. Then open Bittorrent Sync and add a new Sync folder. Set the folder you want the APKs downloaded to, and paste the copied secret.

Apps backed up on your phone will now automatically appear in your designated HDX folder. Every time your HDX's Play Store fails to retrieve an update, back up the updated app on your phone, wait for sync to occur, and install the APK on your HDX.

I hope this is helpful to some. I'm excited to be able to give back to the community, even if it's just done stupid small hack.

Just a note that it is unlikely you will be able to keep Maps up to date this way. There seems to be a defined split between 4.2.2 and later Android versions. I have not found another app with similar behavior, but it is possible given the current Android environment.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] evilgrin98:
As an update, for anyone interested

Since I lost root after the update, I've fallen back on using this trick to get my Play apps on my HDX. Now it's just become one silly step easier:

BitTorrent Sync Now Available on the Kindle Fire

Why its release is covered in GalleyCat, I don't know... but since it was, I thought I'd update here. BTSync isn't root, but it's something, and effective, and really easy to implement. I personally prefer this solution to 3rd party market apps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] eldecanopy:
I cant found apk to download
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] evilgrin98:
No APK?!?!

Amazon must have pulled it from sale. If you have access to the Play store on another device, you can access the APK at the Play store, back it up using the method mentioned here, and share it to your Kindle via email, USB, or AirDroid. I can provide instructions for that if you like, though they're pretty similar to the instructions above.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] holeshot77:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxxyboi:
Ok so I have a problem and was hoping this would be a good place to solve my issue. Ok so after I rooted my Nexus 5, I decided to download the 4.4.2 update manually. But somehow I lost my root access, though I'm still rooted if that makes sense. I want to reroot my phone again but nothing happens when I plug my phone to my computer via USB. Then I discovered USB debugging won't turn off, and every time I try turning off developers options or USB debugging, my phone reboots itself. Please Help .

v1.8.022599 (Gear 1) | v2.2.15022599 (Gear 2)

From v1.7 onwards, GM has 2 version numbers in the same apk as it includes the files to connect both original Gear and Gear 2. v2 is also used if running Tizen on original Gear

Download

You can download the installer (and secondary apks) here:

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager

v2.2.15022599 includes all the apks that GearManger attempts to download. I'd suggest installing all of these before installing main GearManager apk. You'll notice there are 2 plugin apks. Gear Plugin is for newer devices (Gear 2/Neo), Gear1 Plugin for original Galaxy Gear

Notable changes

1.5.111304

Expanded notifications

Exchange Email blocked in US

1.5.120601

Exchange Email unblocked in US

v1.5.121601

Very buggy - suggest not installing

v1.6.111801

Leak. Support for ML1. Exchange email body blocked gm1.6 plus ml1

v1.6.131003

Leak. Support for NA3. Support for KitKat

v1.7.031004

Leak. From Galaxy S5 stock rom

Other devices

As of yet, it is not possible to get Gear working fully without a Samsung device running 4.3 TouchWiz rom

To install on other devices, make sure you put GearMangerStub.apk in system/app. Then you can install GearManager and the secondary apps (music and weather won't install without dedicated samsung apps also on your device). You will not get notifications and it is very limited, but it connects

Suspect the issue is related to tight integration with TouchWiz framework and Samsung apps

Yeah, I had that issue forever on 4.1 but I got the leaked 4.3 rom and had no issue getting on Gear Manager 1.5.120902.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Installs fine on N5 (apart from music and weather - however you can get the Samsung apks for this and it works somethings). The key is gearmanagerstub in system/app

Then install gear manager

Then install other apks

Then connect either by nfc or manually

If you get to restore page, you should be able to choose reset

That version breaks the connection with Note 3's. Unreal. I'm back on Android now running 1.7 and Null. Samsung support has no idea about this, and actually had me send my watch in for service, haha. Came back to me about 9 days later back on Android, and of course connected with no issue. I updated back to Tizen (I missed the iPod-like functionality) and as soon as Gear manager updated to the latest version that was just released, it would no longer connect. I went back to Android right after. Voila.. immediate connection.

Fun times.

I've tried everything I can think of to make it work. Tried factory reset. Tried changing build prop. Tried installing old service provider. No luck. :(

Might have to revert I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] artybee:
Also had saproviders fc but following a reboot (of the phone) all seems to be working fine. Plus side is that this seems to have got round the issue of not being able to see all the available apps on my Note. No longer need to change build prop to an S5!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anthonyg45157:
Which software version are you on? I'm on ne9
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] artybee:
On NF4 MultiX
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anthonyg45157:
Sorry for not being specific I meant which version is your watch on.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] artybee:
No problem. I'm running TizenMod 2.1 which is based on NF1
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anthonyg45157:
Do you know which is newer...maybe because I'm on ne9 is reason I'm having fc over and over
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] artybee:
NF1 is newer and if you're on the original NE9 firmware you should be able to update via Kies. The version I'm using on the Gear is rooted - so don't know if that makes a difference or not to the issue you're experiencing. That said - if the fc is on the service that's run on the phone (as mine was) have you tried removing Gear Manager from your phone and reinstalling?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anthonyg45157:
I'm going to update with kies tonight and possibly flash Tizen mod. I've tried to remove gear manager multiple times and reinstall. the force close is on the phone itself. I'm thinking the reason I'm getting repeat force closes is because I'm not on the newest software
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] artybee:
Fingers crossed!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anthonyg45157:
I'll report my success and or fail. Were you ever on ne9? What benefits does NF1 offer. Also any not benefit to tizen mod. I know it supports side loaded apps and supposed to have better battery life. Just wondering thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] artybee:
I was only on NE9 very briefly (2 weeks or so) and main benefit I saw from the move to NF1was battery life. I'm not using Tizen mod to its full extent (adding custom sounds etc) but appreciate the fact it removes the annoying shutter sound. Will get round to customising my Gear more with it soon.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] yessirrom:
I am on NE5 and upgraded to the new gear manager. It pushed automatically and screwed everything up. Force close of app with various components failing. I am on a Note 3 and running DK5 ROM. I had to uninstall gear manager updates, delete all data associated and reinstall several times. It eventually installed and updated the app and connected to my now reset Gear 2. I would highly recommend deleting all data and pairings before updating.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anthonyg45157:
Can you describe exactly what you deleted? I uninstalled all gear manager things under my app manager. And unpaired my blue tooth. I reset my watch and still get constant force close.... I haven't updated to nf1 on my watch yet still on ne9
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] yessirrom:
Whatever gave a message, I deleted. I went to settings -application manager and deleted anything that force closed earlier. Also anything that started with gear. Then I downloaded the gear app from apps.samsung.com.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anthonyg45157:
I flashed tizen mod 3(nf1) with Odin. Went flawlessly. When connecting to gear manager I get the same repetitive saprovider force close...

Back to drawing board..

To eliminate a bunch of hassle I'm gonna try to revert my phone to stock ROM and see if everything works

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
I solved saprovider repeatedly (Force Close) by going into Titianium Backup on my phone and clearing it's data.

Now to figure out when/why/how S-Voice No longer connects via watch to phone. I swear it worked before this update. :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anthonyg45157:
I tried this and it did stop popping up but I couldn't get my watch to notify me when I got a message and it ended up coming back and wouldn't go away again

I HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE.

ppgrading to new firmware on watch. Restoring a stock ROM. Clearing cache, reboot ect. None of this worked.

All I did was back up the last version of saproviders that worked.2.0.088

I uninstalled 2.0.244(newest) saproviders and installed the older version of saprovider and it works flawlessly!

I've uploaded the apk to my drop box.(hope this is allowed)

Hope it helps everyone with this issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
I updated GM and now, I my watch doesn't vibrate or show most notifications.

But, the little notification icon has the orange circle showing a notification and if I tap it, I can see the notification.

So, the notifications are being sent to the Gear, but it is just not showing them.

It will display notifications for Gmail, but not facebook, Facebook messenger, wechat, LINE I haven't tested anything else.

I tried rolling back to previous version from a titanium backup, but it then requires a factory reset of the watch to connect, which then triggers GM to update before proceeding with the connection.

I tried installing the saproviders file above, but still get no indication on the watch that I have a notification unless I look at the notification icon.

I have that as one of the short cuts in the shortcut watch face.

Any suggestions?

Anyone else have the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anthonyg45157:
Have you tried to factory reset the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
Yes I have.

(just realised I spelt "reset" incorrectly so have fixed that and added "factory" before it for clarity.

It's weird that Gmail notifications show up normally. Nothing else seems to.

Everyone having connection issues are you using a device on the list of compatible devices for the gear ?? I went and downloaded gear manager on a Samsung device and it downloaded a different version than the one on my m8, and it connected without an issue . After opening up the m8 version there seems to be some added files if reference to the host manager apk . It looks like the apk is looking at the device you have manager installed on and if the info isn't matching it will fail to connect . Hope this helps .

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JazonX:
How can I block Gear Manager from Self updating by force?

I need to stay on the Old Gear Manager!

The Latest Gear Manager (The one with the new Icon) changed the way WhatsApp notifications appear in the watch. Earlier it used to show senders name as notification on the gear and when you tap on the notification it used to show the message (On the Gear, Not Device).

Now It just shows WhatsApp as the notification and when you tap on it, it just shows the Senders name instead of the message. There is no way to view the message on the Gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] moondoggeh:
hi guys, i am running version 2.2.14092299, as i had issues with previous ones. Somehow i don't have the gear 2 plugin apk installed, and when i enter the manager it redirects me to the BT connect page.

Notifications work though.

Could someone who is running the latest version please upload their plugin apk, so i can install it, i have no idea why it was not installed automatically, older versions don't work, i tried...

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
I don't think that v2.2 uses that file
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] moondoggeh:
Com.samsung.android.gear2plugin

The version is the same as the main apk, and yes it uses it. At least on my phone. I managed to backup and uninst llsaproviders and sa assistant apk and then it downloaded all three.

Now my gear works like new with the latest version, it just doesnt auto reconnect when I looses bt
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
My time with the Galaxy Gear has come to an end. I've replace my S4 with an Xperia Z3 thus no longer have access to Samsung apps to download the app

However, it seems that later versions run independent of the store and if you download any of the v2.2 apks, they'll let you know there is an update available and download latest version

I will be keeping the downloads available
