Hey guys,

I just want a quick confirmation, as I'm not sure where the problem is:

My Google Maps in FCs. I'm sure it worked already. And had some problem like this on 4.4.4

So anyone experienced the same or can't use maps generally, etc?

HELP! My Android L Apps look like KK :(

I have installed Android L on my Nexus 5, I downloaded the official image from the google developer's site, but as I am looking at pictures (specifically comparisons between KK and L like this http://www.talkandroid.com/211731-ch...ndroid-kitkat/) I find that there are many things that I dont have, for example a gallery, my android L did not bring a gallery .. or apps like Gmail, keep, etc still look holo blue or KK style not like the nice pictures in many websites showing a new interface.. so to touch base it seems I am running L but the GApps are still KK. Could I have missed to do something at install or what could it be?

I'm having this same issue. I saw later in this thread somebody mentioned formatting the cache in stock recovery to fix the problem.

Steps I took..

-fastboot flashed back to stock recovery

-reboot phone into stock recovery

-format cache

-reboot into fastboot

-fastboot flashed newest TWRP

-reboot phone

I've rolled back to my 4.4.4 backup but Solid Explorer is still showing me as only having 12GB of space on my SD. I'm at a loss at this point. Any help that could get my phone to show the correct amount of space would be helpful.

Been trying the "one thing at a time" approach trying to pin down the cause. Went through every type of compatible cell signal in the area, disabled adaptive brightness, and uninstalled most apps.

Fix for No SD Card issue

For anyone experiencing "No SD Card" issues with Android L developer preview: simple selinux issue, just run this while booted normally to fix the emulated sdcard: restorecon /data/media/0

Then you can either hack away manually at app specific sdcard data, or if you're like me and just don't care, just move it out of the way from recovery: mv /sdcard/Android /sdcard/Android_old

Viola.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgiesing:
Good find! However, you need to make one tweak to the command.

Try this instead:

# restorecon -r /data/media/0/*

This command will not only restore the SD card folder itself but every file/folder inside.

Now if somebody could make this a flashable zip!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X-15:
Done.

The zip is simply a shell script in update-binary that mounts /data, runs the command, and unmounts /data.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgiesing:
Doesn't work as it restores the recovery's permissions and not L's!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X-15:
I'm not following you, what were you intending the zip to do exactly?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
So if in L you get no sdcard error this will fix?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedecane:
Anybody has found a sleek solution for this?

I also saw that there's an option in the sound & notification submenu.. but still, a man needs a way to do that faster.

I ended up installing a widget that does the job but it's ugly and against L's sleek UI so I'd like to find a nicer solution.

For example, somebody found an adb command that enables battery % showing. I was wondering that maybe with a similar command it was possible to enable more settings in the "2 seconds power button menu", which now to me just shows a Power Off button, but in many many phones shows also a radio button with "silent" - "vibration" - "normal" mode... does it make sense?

I read a different website and it said both will work!

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

The zip won't as it restores KitKat's permissions. Run the command as root in the terminal and it will fix it!

---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------

It does not need to run on every boot as once it is fixed, it will stay fixed across reboots! The only time that you need to rerun it, is if it breaks again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:

If I flash L without wiping sd card clean and get no sdcard error i can flash this and reboot and my sdcard and all my files will be seen again by L?

First, I am not advising a dirty flash from KitKat, but it should work.

Secondly, you shouldn't have to reboot after entering the command!

Hey Guys just a quick question.

If I flash L as a secondary ROM via MultiROM will it still change the mount path of my Internal Storage as it did when I installed using the flashable zip by vomer???
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgiesing:
Flashing the zip won't work as it restores Permissions from KitKat and not L.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgiesing:
Yes, open a terminal emulator app (Example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm) or open ADB shell from your computer and type these two commands:

su

restorecon -r /data/media/0/*

Titanium Backup Alternative

Hey guys, I didn't know if there was a way to install titanium Backups... backups, without using the app, or if there was another app that could backup apps and data. I want to make the switch to Android L but understand that Titanium Backup doesn't work with it, and have to retain my app data for a specific app to use for work.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akatrevorj:
That won't work as you expect. You *primarily* need to hit /data/media/0, which you are not doing in that scenario due to your shell's filename expension.

You actually don't need to do it recursively, as there's no permissions required past that point, which is why I didn't specify -R .
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgiesing:
Well when I tried your version, it didn't work, when I did mine it did work.

Maybe -r isn't necessary, but if you don't do the subdirectories, it won't allow you to access your old files without starting fresh which is the whole point of this command... To not start over!

UPDATE:

Help-Index

Camera

Problems could be crashes, freezes, black screens or reboots.

If u have camera problems u can try different things:

- delete data of camera app

- uninstall updates if camera app

- extract camera apk from rom and replace it

- change any settings like picture or video resolution in camera

- deactivate NuPlayer option in Developer Options

SystemUI

Problems could be FCs of SystemUI.

If u have problems while phone is charging (depends of battery level),

unplug the USB cable, restart SystemUI and then re-plug the usb cable.

Like here.

If u have other or still problems, look into Flash then.

Titanium Backup

For a working Titanium Backup u have to use the official Beta, as the standard release won't run at all.

VPN

Connections are successful, but routing isn't.

This is still a developer preview and surly get fixed in next release(s).

Hmm I managed to solve my sdcard permission issue on Android L Nexus 7 by executing

In any case, if you are using MultiROM, this will cause you to be stuck on the Google logo because the permission for /data/media/0/multirom has been affected.

**However I am not sure if, when not using MultiROM, will you be stuck on the Google logo.

But after reflashing the ROM using zip, my sdcard are now accessible.

(This was not possible the first time I tried restorecon -R /data/media/0/*)

I've also read that restorecon command has the -e option, which is the exclude folder option, but it's not available on Android so the tedious workaround will be as such.

Please try it and let me know if it works for you.

Android "L" Developer Preview Help, Troubleshooting, Q&A

I don't currently have a computer I can back up my files to, so I didn't want to flash the L factory image to fix my "no sdcard" problem. So, me being a doof ran the "restorecon /data/media/0*" on Android L on Terminal Emulator. Before I had realized that technically, I wasn't on TWRP, I was really on MultiROM and the directories were different, I couldn't boot back into any of my ROMs because I keep getting the error telling me that the kernel I have installed is not k-exec compatible. I have attempted to flash MultiROM over again, install FK, and even Code Blue kernel to no avail. I've also tried a few other things, but yeah here I am.

So, my question is...is there a way to reverse the command, or correct it for MultiROM so that I don't have to use adb to flash a factory image and wipe out my pictures, music, etc.
