MultiWindow support added in the latest update: http://d-h.st/Dxp

I'm sure most of you know how to use it.

Here is the patch on gerrit for those who are interested: https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/1510/
[Xoom Android Development] superbay:
Would love to see this built in multiwindows for everest. Is it limited for two apps only?
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
It is limited to 2 apps yes, it's really good on a 10inch screen, I set a build off for everest before I went into university so when I'm back tonight I'll upload it for someone to test
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
[MENTION=2696569]superbay[/MENTION]

an everest build here with MultiWindow support, I've flashed and tested, all is okay, but obviously I can't test 3G as mine is a Wingray so let us know

http://d-h.st/oJV
[Xoom Android Development] superbay:
Nice! Will give a report soon :)
[Xoom Android Development] superbay:
Dont know what is wrong but mine is stuck in the m logo. Does the big part affect the process? Also do i have to use the bank core gapps instead of PA?
[Xoom Android Development] s8m:
Personally I am sticking with 4.2.2 for now until someone finds a way to get tablet mode UI on 4.4+ .. but nice work getting this to run without BigPart! :good:
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
Realistically it'll never have tablet UI mode, Google removed the code for it in this release, it was still there in 4.2 and 4.3 so it was easy to switch. But now it's gone.

You'll have to accept that this is the new UI
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
If you're bigParted then this won't work, you can't cross flash ROMs that are bigPart/non-bigPart
[Xoom Android Development] superbay:
Oh darn it. I thought repartition just affected the syste partition capacity. Will have to undo the repartition then. Why is the windows limited to 2 only? Is it because of the early development on it? I've read some news that omni is being maximised on several features including this one
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
There wouldn't be enough space for more than 2 apps, there is one on top and one on bottom. if more were allowed the space for each app wouldn't be enough to really utilize the app.

it does affect the system partition but the way in which it is accomplished is a patch in /fs/partitions/ of the kernel to change the partition table recognized by the device. The recovery also has the patch included so if you try to cross flash, e.g you have a non bigPart ROM but bigParted recovery then it wouldn't boot. the same vice versa
[Xoom Android Development] _MrFrankie:
is compatible with the version everest??
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
there is a test everest version here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50629351&postcount=6
[Xoom Android Development] Bazar617:
Dang... nice!!

Couple of questions though. Without bigpart, how much room is left over in /system? Is it easy to add back some of those stripped apps, such as email and exchange? And do you know if it's possible for us to enable, in some way, the transparent nav and notification bars like on the phone version (or is that the "tablet mode UI" referred to previously)?
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
there is 6.4mb left in /system

regarding tablet mode, google removed the code in 4.4 afaik there isn't a decent way to add it back (correct me if I'm wrong)

transparent status and nav bar could be done, my skills are limited though. Is there some commits or cherry picks for this?
[Xoom Android Development] Bazar617:
Thanks for the directory output.

For the transparency, it has to do with our "low-end" device... I found this thread (http://xdaforums.com/nexus-s/help/kitkat-transparent-status-bar-t2592811/page2) referencing these two commits in CM11 (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/57303/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/57471/) not sure if similar commits have been added to Omni's codebase though.
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
cheers for the tip, I'll look into it for Omni
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
I've been messing around with it on CM currently, my build don't seem to have the option under performance to turn on transparent navbar and status bar.

I've managed to enable it by changing the boolean in frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityManager.java from 'false' to 'true'

in the commit here: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/57471/

it implies there should be a check box to enable it.... but there isn't?!

I've checked my code against the commits and it is in my code, it has merged, as stated by the commit status. so unsure as to why it isn't coming up...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bacardi222:
Hey guys, this is actually a post regarding my mom's LG G2 we just got for her. We switched from Sprint and got this in the mail. I was excited to handle a new device as usual and was surprised to learn that it already had the Kitkat update. I soon discovered that outbound Wifi-Calling calls would not work at all, however SMS send/receive as well as receiving calls over Wifi worked just fine. There are no error messages associated with the Wifi calling, it will say connecting when dialing a call and then say call ended after about one second. I did some digging around and learned that T-mobile has not actually released 4.4.2 for the LG G2 so I assume that this may be related to the issue, considering the Wifi calling framework is something they add over Android. I assume that the phone my mom received has some sort of test build on it or something? Maybe you guys can help me out with it. T Mobile support were friendly but basically useless in getting this problem resolved, and said that the outbound calls is a known issue for this phone. I suspect that may be BS but maybe not.

Here's some info about the phone under software information:

4.4.2

baseband: M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190034

kernel 3.4

Build JDQ39B

Software version: D80110g

Does any of this look familiar? Is this some sort of testing build? I may just try and send the phone back and get one with a more stable 4.3 if possible.

Thanks for any help or information you can provide.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
That's 4.2.2 not 4.4.2

All the build numbers you posted except the 4.4.2 refer to 4.2.2

I am having problems connecting to WiFi. My brother (who gave it to me) says it was connecting in the UK. He bought over two of these phones niether of them will connect.

It wont list the available networks, thought it does scan. The mobile network/ internet is working fine.

[Java for Android App Development] cnayan:
I have fair number of years of programming behind me. But I haven't tried anything for Android, as I dislike Java.

But I want to try. I want to make something that works at low level, say, like a firewall. It acts as a filter between two communicating parties/devices.

To write anything like that, can someone suggest which is the best approach - code in Java (if it can perform such a feast) or code driver in C?

Thanks much!

Regards,

Nayan
[Java for Android App Development] EmptinessFiller:
The interesting thing in such low level projects is the entry point: So for a firewall you only have to acces iptables because android has linux kernel. So no C-part, no drivers, only plain java. See AFWall, it's an open source firewall.
[Java for Android App Development] cnayan:
Excellent! I would certainly study AFWall. Thanks for the reference.

But actually, my quest doesn't stop here. :) I am exploring Android, and Google's restriction of "UI to be built only via Java". (I am not interested in scripting and widgets for now, unless they are absolutely needed.)

I want to know the answers for same question (driver or app) for the following:

* Network Filter [EmptinessFiller, you already answered this as Java]

* Disk (SD cards) (for many various purposes) - file system should not block the intention, hopefully.

* USB filter

* SMS filter

I am still thinking of other categories. Will write more later.

Please suggest and refer. Thanks again!
[Java for Android App Development] EmptinessFiller:
General answer: Your app is always built in java. (It's UI components, it's LifeCycle (Activity, Service, Broadcastreceiver))

You may include native code, but that does not have more possibilities. It's only a little bit quicker.

Forgotten: If you have root, you may want to change some binaries, because you can't change things in an app. There you need native code of course.
[Java for Android App Development] cnayan:
Shame, isn't it? Too much power in Java's hand :D

My point exactly! Low level stuff is best written in native code.

But right now, I am learning how to.:confused:
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Have a look at the Android NDK and this guide about the development of root apps. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] cnayan:
Thanks for the link. Good stuff, but won't help in my targets... unless an example is seen.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wantasmartcookie:
I'm at an impasse with my HTC one. I was following the directions in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49970264#post49970264. Long story short, I now have CWM v6.0.4.7 and S-Off, but no file system whatsoever.

I have ADB connectivity when in CWM using universal USB drivers, but I can't get Fastboot to communicate to my PC viea ADB (phone says Fastboot USB, but even with the latest Sync drivers installed and Sync removed I get nothing).

I have 3 different Rom packages (Viper 5.0, ecliptic 1.3, and a debloat 4.4.2) loaded in in the SD card directory. Every time I try to flash one of these roms I get a "format() expects 5 args, got for (status 7) error". I think this is due to the version of CWM that I'm running. I think the problem will be fixed by flashing TWRP.

This brings me to my request, been googling for hours to get back to the state where I can actually communicate with my phone, and I think I have a solution, but I haven't been able to figure out how to load TWRP onto my phone with the only means of successful communication being through CWM. Any direction here would be welcome. (I read something about wrapping TWRP into an update.zip file and got a little lost)

Critical phone info:

Recovery: CWM 6.0.4.7

M7_WLV Pvt Ship S-OFF RH

CID-VZW_001

HBOOT 1.56.0000

OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909

OS-3.11.605.1

eMMC Boot 2048MB

edit: I just noticed that the HTC is showing up in my device manager as "My HTC" when in Fastboot. It's using driver version 2.0.7.23 from 11/1/2013. Still not sure why I can't talk to it in fastboot though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Did you previously have fastboot connectivity and have not changed anything on pc. Are you using Windows 8 by any chance? I'll see if I can figure out the zip. I know you can flash with a zip in RUU mode but I have not tried a recovery zip yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wantasmartcookie:
I did have ADB connectivity in all modes. Using Windows 7 64 bit.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wantasmartcookie:
And a bit more info. Uninstalled the MyHTC driver and plugged the phone back int. The device showed up as "Android 1.0" when installing the drivers. Drivers successfully installed, HTC One showing up in device tree. Still no adb connectivity in fastboot.

The device shows up as Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface when CWM is running.

One other note, I've been running the all on my work laptop (which i just got) and noticed it's all USB 3.0 ports. Didn't realize it at first cause they weren't blue but they have the "SS" symbol (and now I know what that means). Going to try to get this up and running on my old tower PC.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Looks like there is not a way to make a zip to flash recovery via recovery.

But are you using fastboot commands like

"fastboot devices"

Or

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Seems like Windows 7 is loading a bad driver.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wantasmartcookie:
i'm using adb commands like get-serialno and fastboot commands like fastboot devices. I get no response when its in Fastboot mode, but it will respond when CWM is up. I'm currently looking into Flash_Image, but it looks like I need a binary that's specific to the one.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] aer0zer0:
Flash a RUU get back to factory, then do twrp
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Since he has no Rom and no fastboot access and an old recovery that uses less mounting arguments. That is not currently an option. I guess you could try and edit the updater script just to get a booting Rom but with the HTC one I am not sure if older update binaries will work even with the right updater script.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
His recovery is the latest cwm actually. The issue he is getting (status 7) is because the format of the updater script in the rom zips isn't acceptable for the recovery. See this post from Phil.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43707326
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
You need to find a rom that has an updated updater script. I assume the status 7 error you get is (got 4 arguments, expects 5). You also said it shows up as a galaxy when in cwm. This leads me to believe you have the wrong driver installed. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip And as you already figured out usb3 doesnt play nice with adb.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
That basically was my point but I suppose it read a little different. The version of cwm doesn't accept the new format of 5 arguments. Philz and twrp do. I dont know the status of the current version of cwm but assumed they would have fixed that by now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
He could try doing like Phil suggests and try swapping the updater-binary with one from a newer Rom to see if that would make it flash.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
[MENTION=5736637]wantasmartcookie[/MENTION] yes you should try a newer update binary and see what happens as [MENTION=4310221]disconnecktie[/MENTION] suggested.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wantasmartcookie:
Just installed the drivers on my old PC (w/usb 2.0) and got the SDK installed and running. I was able to get Fastboot to respond. I flashed the latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 (and 2.6.3.0) and it goes into a boot loop. I see the HTC w/red text saying it boots into recovery. Screen goes black. normal HTC boot screen comes back an boot loops to that scream. I believe a few cuss words are in order at this point. At least I'm able to flash recoveries now. Going to go try Philz and possibly go back to CWM and see if I can get an image with the correct install format.

Appreciate the help from everyone in this thread so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Try this before you flash the recovery use the command

fastboot erase recovery

If that dosent work, flash back to stock recovery, reboot the phone, then flash back to twrp. By the way the latest twrp is 2.6.3.4. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/ You could also flash twrp thru RUU mode with the zip file from that site.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wantasmartcookie:
Just recovered my phone! I was able to install the latest Philz recovery. Unchecked the "do not use old installer" option (after getting the expected 5 got 4 arg error) and installed Ecliptic 1.3. Thank you everyone for your help!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Congrats. I figured it was a pc issue being unable to use fastboot. Glad you got your phone back.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
Hello fellow XDA Users AND Guests! I'm back with another IMPORTANT tip people have to do but don't do whenever they download and flash a custom ROM.

A custom ROM gets corrupted very easily when using a resume function on your browser, or when there is a network interruption during the download. Many devs have to deal with unexplainable errors on the ROM that they may not even know how to solve, because

most

of these issues are BECAUSE OF THE USER. (Not to sound mean, but if it works on the dev's device, it is MOST LIKELY to work on yours as well).

Full version of the guide is more detailed, but the compressed one works fine too.

COMPRESSED INSTRUCTIONS

1. Did you check your device model against the device model listed on the thread?

2. Did you check the MD5 Checksum of the file after you downloaded?

3. Did you try wiping both Cache and Dalvik Cache?

4. Is your configuration different from the given stock values?

Did you install any undesired system files unsupported by the developer? If you did.

YOU LOST YOUR SUPPORT IMMEDIATELY

, but you will have a bunch of people that may have done the same.

Modifying the stock values include:

5. Did you install the ROM after formatting /system, /data, /sdcard, /cache, /dalvik-cache?

FULL INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: You CAN install N9005 ROMs on other variants, for example the N900T, N900W8, provided you get a patch specific to your device, however if they have their specific thread, N9005 ROMs DO NOT ALL SUPPORT IT.

Step 2: Checking the MD5 Checksum for the downloaded file.

Step 3: Clearing the Cache and Dalvik Cache partitions.

By installing a custom ROM, most likely you would have a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc)

Step 4: Retracing your last steps

Did you install any undesired system files unsupported by the developer? If you did.

YOU LOST YOUR SUPPORT IMMEDIATELY

, but you will have a bunch of people that may have done the same.

Modifying the stock values include:

Step 5: Clearing the /system, /data, /sdcard, /cache and /dalvik-cache partitions. (LAST RESORT)

current date and safe Root methods?

Hello, you seem like a mature and helpful person to ask this, I have a 4.4.2 sm-n900w8 (3.4 kernal?) with MDF security software version. I do not know how to use these forums very well so I apoligize if I am asking a redundent question. I have tried rooting a device (SGS3) before; for things like sixaxis, and I now see I'll need it for transfering files to and from the ExtSD (with 4.4.2 on the SGN3). my main question is are there any STILL confirmed ways of rooting the sm-n900w8 as of todays date?? I have done this before with a (SGS3), the videos were fairly strait forward, and this was before I knew about KNOX; in doing so I ended up with a soft bricked device, though I THINK I managed to fix it. If I manage to root it will it void my warranty?

I am concerened about

1) being able to safely root my device without tripping knox or using a method with an older version of software/security.

2) I am NOT getting into Flashing ROMs yet, I just want to transfer files between the two MicroSD cards or use TouchWIZ with apps like SIXAXIS (if that makes sense? )

Thanks for your time and effort into building this community.

I am also 0x0 for Knox, at least I believe so. I have not done anything to it yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
You should be on the latest bootloader right now.

Try any CF-Root and check the Canadian thread, you're on the right track :)

You won't trip KNOX on this firmware.

I've followed this method down to the letter and still no root. Any ideas?

Also, in your opinion will flashing other ROMs be possible in the future or is it unlikely? I'm just wondering whether I should check back every so often or should I not bother?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I seriously doubt we are going to unlock the bootloader, it just doesn't seek worth it on this particular device because we have 3 or 4 other model kindles already available to flash and they technically have better features on them like HDMI and a camera, so I would think someone would be more intersected in the HDX's if anything, and who knows an exploit on them might work with the bootloader on the 2013, but no guarantees on that as the CPU and hardware is different so I'm assuming the bootloader quite different.

As to your problem with rooting, give me some feedback or a log of the terminal output so I have an idea of what happened, I don't have a 2013 model so I have never attempted its rooting process, but I can probably help with errors. Oh and for the record, on a command print you can right click in the window, hit mark, highlight as much of the text as you want, hit enter and it copies it to the clipboard so you can paste it into code brackets here. Most people don't see. To know this for some reason and just screenshot the command prompt... Seems kinda basic that any windows app has basic copy and paste functionality in it. Lemme end this post before I start ranting about how Linux has even better copy and paste support.
