[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Zilliman:
You are so right. There is nothing right now on the market with: (a) HD screen (1080x1920), (b) 4G, (c) 7" screen

Absolutely nothing. It is amazing the N7 cannot make phone calls.

And you are also right on the "age" but on general use as well. I struggle on my 4.5" smartphone - not only because my eyes are not as good anymore, but also because no web sites can display properly and as soon as you have the keyboard on the screen it's all gone.

The 7" and the weight is an ideal replacement for a smartphone! The business heads in Google obviously need to be sacked.

I can't seem to toggle between high accuracy andere battery saving mode using tasker GPS toggle. I'm running stock 4.4.2 rooted using secured settings and helper alternatieve. The action doesn't toggle anything... Can any1 help?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riekr:
It was working for me using e-robot but experiencing some lock up of GPS disabling it on screen off event causing heavy battery drain. Using llama solved the problem so far even tough I don't know if some play services update took place.

Anyway I think secure settings is working fine in helper alternative mode.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
It works fine for me using tasker, secure settings. And helper alternative. Uninstall secure settings and helper and re install and maker sure it's the new helper and not the old one. Old one don't work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waltsch:
Yeah I did that several times, even uninstalled tasker. Do you have to set up something extra in secure settings? What action do you perform in tasker? Just GPS = on?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riekr:
I turn off GPS on screen off and activate it on screen on. Just that

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
In a task I hit the + button, plugin, secure settings, configuration (the pencil in top right), helper actions, gps, then click on or off.

Looks like this (2) in the task, NOT the gps setting in tasker itself.
[Xperia Z1 General] JuicyBrah:
Whoever decided that it shouldn't support folders should be fired.

I guess QuickPic will have to do.
[Xperia Z1 General] a-Rcky:
Are you sure it doesn't support folders? have you checked under "My albums"?
[Xperia Z1 General] JuicyBrah:
I've never seen that before, I feel like an idiot.

Is there any way to get rid of the cloud folders?
[Xperia Z1 General] jimsey:
I use titanium backup to freeze or delete the cloud album plugins, of course you need to be rooted. wish they would integrate dropbox
[Xperia Z1 General] B1nny:
Maybe you can disable the cloud album plugins from the apps menu in the settings. Which doesn't require root.
[Xperia Z1 General] nizarnoor:
I wish they would include an option to set which tab (Pictures or My albums) we would like to have as default.
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
The only one thing sucks in Sony Album, is the widget. I cant select pictures to be show, they are all mess up.
[Xperia Z1 General] a-Rcky:
Hahaha... That's right, the mess in the widget is the only thing that bothers me, but the app is really good to my taste...
[Xperia Z1 General] djnorich:
how to hide video files in album app?
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
Make a file text empty renamed .nomedia and put it in the folder which you don't want to show in any album app. Reboot.
[Xperia Z1 General] ajftl:
Sony album kick ass
[Xperia Z1 General] djnorich:
that's not what I want.

i just want to video files only appear in 'movies' app, not in 'album' app.

thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] SleemLDJ:
No it doesn't at all.

They should have made it make a lot of sense by making it display Albums first as default then pictures sorted by months on the second tab. Just like apple photo gallery. Nonsense.
[Xperia Z1 General] omnius1:
Google.Photos is worse
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
QuickPic is the Answer Used it from Day one on my Z1
[Xperia Z1 General] SleemLDJ:
I actually enjoy google photos. Sony album sucks.
[Xperia Z1 General] itsjustmeagain:
Exactly.
[Xperia Z1 General] JuicyBrah:
I have too but I wonder what the catch is.

It's an amazing app, fast updates, and no ads.

What's in it for the developer?
[Xperia Z1 General] omnius1:
Google photo autoupload is buggier than Albums, that's why I hate it
[Xperia Z1 General] SleemLDJ:
Ok. I don't usually use the cloud back up for photos and the play memories. I have them all on my external memory card.

That's why basic usage is enuf for me.
[Xperia Z1 General] albertobom:
I'm quite happy with Quickpic however I wish it could support Bravia engine cause photos look much clearer and sharper on Album.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
That is not the answer, you should be able to tick an option to exclude video, adding the text file to folders affects other apps that you want to show video - this one thing is why I never use Sony default album app
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
Let's clarified here. He ask to hide Videos and I give the Solution. Using different Media Player he can select the folder to see only videos. Next time please explain what you need and what not. Wrong question, wrong answer.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
I personally thought it was obvious as I experienced exact same thing

Sony provides 2x apps Album and Movies

Album unfortunately shows movies as well as Pictures and there is no way in the app to change this

Movie App shows movies so we're all good so far

If you use the .nomedia text file in movie folders it will exclude movies from the album and movie app - that is not the solution he or anyone else would be looking for - right

But thanks for your input in many ways you were correct but as a solution it was not as it affected other apps and functions that were not specified

additionally I believe pictures and movies taken with the camera are stored in the same folder so again adding .nomedia is not the solution

you can however in the album app go through several selections and chose pic only but it's a trawl
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
That is why I don't use this crap app from Sony, I use 3td part and all is fine.
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
Why did u say that ?? i didnt know and now cant look at quickpic !
[Xperia Z1 General] just.garet:
Actually you can view albums and folders under "My albums" but you can't create albums within the Album app.

This is annoying, and actually the only fault I have with the Album app.

The easy work around is to create new albums/folders in Quick Pic or any file management application, then you can view the new folders in the Album app.
[Xperia Z1 General] a-Rcky:
Yes, that's right... Is an album viewer only, which makes it kind lacking and leave people expecting more from it. I hope in further versions they add more features like customizing, creating folders, and organizing order of the media shown in the App, would make it more likeable to everyone.
[Xperia Z1 General] phantom4u:
Quickpic for me too!!:good: sony album sucks
[Xperia Z1 General] omnius1:
Yes you can, they're called "collections". I have several I've created within the Albums app.
[Xperia Z1 General] just.garet:
There is no tab or setting anywhere to create "collections" in the Sony z1 Xperia album app.
[Xperia Z1 General] transitcheck:
This app is from my old xperia arc. I didn't like some features of Sony Album so I decided to install this app so I can see what photo is where exactly is. It's neat. I checked if sony album has better run engine than old xperia apk but I haven't seen much difference. Maybe more careful users see it.

I think is app will let you guys solve your issue about folders because sony album can be too complicated to find a photo to explore in a specific folder.

gallery apk lets you your photos folder by folder.
[Xperia Z1 General] omnius1:
You have to be connected to Play Memories in the Album app, sorry for the misunderstanding, you're probably looking for something that's not cloud based

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] matt11197:
I would post this in the beanstalk thread but I need 10 posts and haven't needed an account for anything until now.

I just installed beanstalk and after booting I can connect to 4G fine, but after leaving an area with 4g coverage and connecting to 3g/hspa+/edge, I can't reconnect to 4g, even upon re-entering a covered area. It only comes back after I reboot.

I read something on a US cellular forum about devil kernel fixing it, but I'm not sure that was for this version of beanstalk. Can devil be installed with W03Tweaks already in place? Also if it can, would I lose any features or performance from doing so?

Thanks in advance.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] derekfoley:
Having previously owned a IIs and having a standard usb cradle in my car run from a usb connectored "cigarette lighter adapter", I'm used to using my devices as a portable "car stereo". I even wired it up to replace my old crap car stereo, using a small "cheap boy-racer style" £30 stereo power amp under the dash. This has been great for the last year. I get in the car, dock the xda IIs into the cradle, plug in the headphone socket which is wired into the amp and hey presto, music - and tom tom prompts through the car speakers.

Recently I've been eyeing up the xda exec(JasJar/Universal) and after getting a second hand colleague to buy my IIis, decided to get the new device. Obviously the shorter battery life is a bit of a shock compared to my old one, but I was pleasantly suprised that

1) The audio output seems a better quality

2) The new device no longer needed a custom USB cradle plinth or gooseneck holder, ... I could place the "open clam" in the recess in my instrument panel, to the right of my speedo. Basically sitting just behind the steering wheel, which also solves the night-time reflection issues of a bright display.

Just one problem, I discovered that the USB sync cable supplied with the new device doesnt seem to enable charging to the exec when I plugged it into the 12Volt to USB adapter that worked with the XDA IIs that I wired into my dashboard. :(

So I decided to buy a new car power adapter for the new Exec, egged on by installing the great "mort player" which has an ideal "large button" interface on a black background which is ideal for use in the car.... and it doesnt forget the playlist like media player 10 seems to do each time you run it...

However, When the car power adapter arrived today, (from expansys)

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125511

To my dismay it is very noisy! the audio output to my amp sounds great with just the headphone output to my mini under dash amplifier, but only on battery power. But when the adapter is supplying power, the audio output becomes "crackly" Any electonics boffins have any suggestions to remove the "noise" with capacitors, if so what type and where should I put them, on the audio, or inline with the cigarette power adapter dc input somewhere, or should I just send it back and try and source a better quality adapter?

Expansys also do 2 other models -

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125969

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125970

Does anyone know if these are as noisy as the other one? Does anyone else have a similar setup?

Thanks in advance

Derek
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] interestingfellow:
you have a ground loop. in america, we use negative as the ground, so be carefull with what I'm telling you (posative is ground in some countries).

What you need to do is run the amp and cigarette lighter off the same ground(s) and possibly the same feeds (supply voltage). Make sure you fuse the lines appropriately, or you might fry something.

I would suggest installing a secondary cigarett lighter outlet somewhere convenient (so you don't cross any other circuts in your car, and burn stuff out), and run it off the same points that your amplifier gets it's power. Fuse the new outlet with the appropriate fuse (should be 5 or 10 amps), and give your new setup a whirl. It's a cheap alternative for you to try (should be about $10 or 8 euro?)

Good luck, and remember, NOT MY FAULT WHAT YOU DO> TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jamfitz86:
I agree with him ^

JAmes
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] derekfoley:
Strangely - today the noise is gone... hmm... very strange... :)

perhaps it was a solar flare, or another explosion at hemel :)

or more likely - perhaps there was a loose connection somewhere!

Thanks for all the advice guys, I will certainly make sure I avoid any ground loops and ground the audio on the same physical connection as the car earth. I'll check this at the weekend when I have some daylight to work in!. I'll do this when wiring the new adapter in properly - I can't bear it hanging out of the lighter socket with the near the indicator stalk!

I can say the Exec is great device though... Its a far better solution for car audio - and no leaving an expensive hifi in the car to be stolen.

Hopefully someone else is inspired by this post to also use the device in this way. If you want plenty of storage for a full install of the tomtom uk map and loads of music, you'll be interested to hear that you can actually get a 2 gig card now from ebuyer for about £60!

Tried this on someone else's phone. Hack works and I am able to connect a device via WiFi but as soon as device connects, the LTE is instantly disconnected and continues to try and reconnect until I disconnect the client. Looks like Verizon was able to implement some network side check in band 4 areas that disconnect your phone if the network detects too many hops.

[MENTION=318173]EQUANCY[/MENTION],

i tried your rom, looks good. few things are not wrking

1. xposed: i installed xposed framework, rebooted, then installed GravityBox, none of the tweaks in it wkrs. like transparent status bar/traffic meter.

after installing the GB and setting it up, i rebooted, but still not wrking.

2. window support is also not wrking. hv added some of the apps to wkr in window mode, but all run in full screen.

Have you tried these on ur rom ???
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] EQUANCY:
Yes,

Multi-window not working, but some features of Gravitybox well.

Actually I've put Multi-window by mistake, it was a bit late when I saw :)

However you may remove this app by following steps below.

1- Deactivate Multi-window app in Xposed modules menu (uncheck)

2- Reboot

3- Open RootBrowser and go to System/app directory

4- Long press on multi_window.apk and select Delete

I didn't tested all of modules and most of them are not working properly because of Tablet UI, I'll remove both application in next firmware mod.

Sorry for inconvenience, thanks for understanding.

Hi Equancy,

I am having issues with wifi direct. I can establish the wifi direct connection with the other device (Samsung Galaxy S3) just fine, I can send files from the box to the SG3, but I absolutely can't receive files sent from the SG3 to the box (I never even get the prompt).

I also tried to use the Superbeam app, and same story: I can send files out but not receive them.

Any clue? I am not sure whether this is specific to your ROM as I haven't tried with any other.

Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] EQUANCY:
hi,

Thanks for your best wishes, hoping same for you.

For the issue,

Possible answer for WiFi Direct function is Firmware related, because I didn't touched any system file except su binary and build.prop.

I also tested by my self, receiving files from TVBox is working but transfering to the device isn't via SuperBeam.

As I said before, I suppose it is a firmware bug and must be reported.

And question is:

To who :)

However, you may ask other users who is using another firmware versions or custom roms.

Happy new years...

NFS help needed

I tried the rom on my cr11s and i must say its awesome except that its a bit slow.. i also can't get nfs to mount thru adb nor cifsmanager.. does the supplied nfs.ko support nfsv4? Everything else is working with no major issues.. thanks for the rom anyways...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] EQUANCY:
It is very little bit slower than v1.1 but its not really noticable on 2D applications, can you specify what have you experienced actually?

I'm using a NTFS formatted NAS drive with no problem, even watching MKV files about 40-50 mbps rate. (NetGear ReadyNAS).

All of thoose modules have been supplied but not loaded by default need manually installed or you must add lines to the init.rc from system.

This can't be automatically because Kernel needs to be modified and I don't want to do that.

NFS module is actual module for RK3188.

If you more specify problem may be I can look it for you.

And for your consideration...

Some issues are FIRMWARE RELATED, because these firmwares aren't fully optimized, just generic RK3xxx roms.

Not good drivers at all...

And not all manyfacturers optimizes their own firmwares.
