[Nexus 4 General] uchihakurtz:
So, a few days ago Apple announced iOS 8 and previewed some of it features. This made me look back into Android, specifically Stock Android. And with Google I/O just around the corner, here are some things that I wish Google will improve on.

The Dark, Old, and Gloomy Holo UI

When it first came out, Holo UI was the thing. Everyone who was still on Gingerbread wanted it, they installed launchers and even modded framework and stuff. Skip forward 3 years, Holo UI is still here with a little change on the icon colours. Some may love it, but it's definitely getting boring. There are rumours that the next version will be 5.0 instead of 4.5. I hope that with the 1.0 jump, there will be a major UI overhaul.

The Not So Helpful Quick Tiles

Quick Tiles, when you look at it it really seems to help make things quicker. "Oh look, the WiFi icon. If I press this, it's gonna toggle the WiFi, right?" NOPE, clicking it will bring you to the Settings section while long pressing it will toggle it instead. I don't know how long it's been like this but I've only tasted stock since 4.2.2 and it's still like this on KitKat so... Someone in the UX Department needs to be scolded.

Not only it's rather misguiding, the toggles itself doesn't offer that much. There are no tiles for NFC, Sync, Auto Rotation and there's no way to add them either. Custom ROMs and manufacturers' skins however offer all these for years and even after a few 0.1 updates, Google doesn't seem to touch this. Which makes me wonder if most people prefer it Google's way. I definitely don't.

KitKat Transparency Not Being Used

When KitKat was announced, the transparent status bar and navigation bar really wowed me. I was hoping the colours would match accordingly to which app is opened. But apparently, apps need to be updated and coded to take advantage of this. Which is fine, there are a few apps that does this but what baffles me is Google isn't one of them. Other than Google Now Launcher, everything pretty much stayed the same. How can others be motivated to do this when even Google isn't doing it.

It Lacks Appeal to the Public Eyes

Have you seen what other skinned Android can do without installing other apps? Multi-Window, Dual Capture Camera, Slow Motion Video Capture, Floating Apps, Power Saving Mode, Video Calling, and many more. What can Stock Android do? Well, normal stuff every Android smartphone can do except those above I guess. Stock Android are designed for developers and tech enthusiasts so it should be normal to stay as de-bloated as possible but don't you want some of those goodies that other skins offer?

Your Thoughts?

Yes, there are apps that can do the stuff above and Xposed Framework can help, but we're talking about pure stock Android without roots and many other stuff. Which makes me wonder, being a Nexus user, how many of you guys stay pure stock?

With competition heating up such as iOS's possible split Window Mode and Windows 8.1's Cortana, not to mention other emerging OS such as Tizen, Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish and Firefox OS; Android need to step up it's game on the next version. What do you think will make Stock Android better?
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Custom ROMS are way ahead of this.. Stock, naaaa.. Custom roms you get features satablility and sort of completeness. It defeats stock by a long margin.
[Nexus 4 General] uchihakurtz:
Yeah, tried stock for a week, couldn't stand it :silly: With all those bugs, it makes you wonder if people at Google actually uses stock Android or never tried custom ROMs, lol.
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
LOL,Nice one.

Why is this update not showing OTA or in Kies? I've got the April version on my Note 8. Stock and not rooted
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jackyminh:
I had the same question and need to know what's new in this May update N5100XXDNE2. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Imacatlover:
Checked sammobile and its there. Whats new in this update and has anyone updated??:confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Zodiac_SA:
New firmware

Seeing that nobody seems to answer, I'll ask another question. I've downloaded the new firmware twice from sammobile and both were corrupted.

I see there's a newer firmware from United Arab Emirates, can i flash that version over my current polish one without any issues from knox?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] rwallach:
You can download it from samsung-updates.com

I am using Poland DNE2. I didn't try the April version, but current DNE2 is OK so far. Except for occasional freezes while switching wifi status, everything runs smoothly.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] farhanito:
Just updated mine from DND8 to DNE2 using Odin. To my surprise, it doesn't clear my data.

All apps and settings still intact.

Hi.

I saw this update in Samsung Updates

Galaxy Note 8.0 (3G/WIFI)	GT-N5100	EGY	N5100XWDNF1	Android	4.4.2	02.06.2014	1312853

How it different from DNE2

Which one should I update.

Now I am on CivZ Rom 4.4.2 DND8 with KitKat bootloader and I want go to stock firmware.

Thank for advance.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] urzam:
Hi,

I installed N5100XXDNE2 version on Friday. I didn't found any updates in software or differences between DND8 and DNE2.

For me this version fixed stability issues. In DND8 I had problem with crashing the applications (e.g. S-Note) and also sometimes rebooting. DNE2 I found out more stable but this is only few days experience.

S-pen offset issue has not been fixed :( It is funny because if I am using S-Note to write text then cursor is on right place and there is no any offset. But when I am writing something in gmail than there is so big offset between cursor and S-Pen.

If you have any other question regarding DNE2 version I can check it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] 2g11:
How is performance and battery life? How about the SD card issues? I'm still on 4.1.2 never got any updates on my CSC(XFA) so I'm going to flash one from a different country but would just like some more feedback.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] T3sla:
I'm running CM10.2 currently but the question applies to CM10.1 and CM11 also.Is there a way to save the system settings like display, sound, language etc. so when you make a factory reset or reflash you won't have to set the rom again?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] godlesplay:
make backup with titaniumbackup and after factory reset restore only data
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
You can't restore data on CM settings after you have upgrade/downgrade your rom....a lot of FC will happen if you do that....CM10.1, CM10.2 and CM11 have different settings....just set it up again...its not like you needed 1-2 hour to set it up...just a couple of minutes will do...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] godlesplay:
but he wrote about reflash same rom not about update rom, so if he want to reflash same rom he can make backup with TB
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] T3sla:
That's what i meant, not keeping settings between different versions.So if i got it right, make a backup of Settings.apk and restore only data?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] godlesplay:
Yes it should works, but I am not 100% sure
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
If that is the case then backup Settings Storage/SettingsProvider.apk not Settings.apk cause every setup you make is kept in SettingsProvider.apk not Settings.apk....

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnz16:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FATE OF YOUR PHONE . THE INFORMATION AND STEPS I PROVIDE ARE THE ONES I FOUND THAT WORKED FOR ME DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THEY WOULD FOR YOU.!

***==>THIS REQUIRES ROOT<==*** (#commonsense you are on Cyanogen mod)

Okay so i had seen many people having problem with being able to install STOCK MOTOROLA APPLICATIONS ON MOTO G running Cyanogen-mod so here it is first you need the files so i extracted the from a stock firmware file .xml.zip it should work for all the moto g versions out there.

***IMPORTANT***

KEEP A BACKUP OF ALL THE FILES YOU FIDDLE WITH JUST IN CASE YOU DO SOMETHING IDIOTIC AND SOFT BRICK YOUR PHONE.!

now FIRSTLY you need to know that the compatibility/ability of a android phone to be able to install an application is entirely dependent on its properties and values in BUILD.PROP file found in "/System/"

so i am going to attach that as well (do not copy paste the file BUILD.PROP edit it for these two or you may land in trouble also tally the only things that you may require should be these two lines and some " ro.------ " values that i have changed!)

ro.product.model=XT----- #what ever is your model number replace it with the "-----"

ro.product.manufacturer=MOTOROLA

these two are the main lines you need to edit in some cases they may not exist so BE GOD create them .!

restart in the recovery i have TWRP so i used it to fix the permissions in the advanced tab

also after this wipe your cache .!

now once the build.prop is handled assuming you did that correctly we move on to the easy part.

**also you should delete the data and cache of the play store to reset it to the updated phone build properties.**

get a good explorer for the device with root access.

now copy all the files you wan to install in both these folders

copy them to

"

\System\priv-app

\System\app

"

and run them they might just fail to run but thats fine.!

now

delete the ODEX files accompanying them

restart phone in recovery clear the cache and then fix permissions.

while restart you should see a scree saying "updating applications (number of apps you copied to both of the folders)"

restart and then pray hopefully the apps would already be installed .have fun

P.S.

the slow motion feature WORKS TOO!!

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TaylorDahmer:
did you install framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk before decompiling?

before decompiling any apk

you have to type these first:

apktool if framework-res.apk

apktool if twframework-res.apk

after that try decompiling your apk again
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] AbhiLP:
Yes, i've already installed them. I've even installed SystemUI.apk
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
Thats not an error - all thats saying is you have no translation for certain strings - in other words you only have one language for the string

There is no compiling error in the apk in terms of syntax and the apk will install fine if the manifest is correct - weather it will function correctly and as expected is a different thing but in terms of compiling theres nothing wrong with it
