If I'm not mistaken, that app adds a white numbering, right? Kinda defeats the purpose since the battery color filling is also white. Ahh well, something is better than nothing! :)

Hi there,

I want to update to the L DP now the final API is out but am not 100% sure how to do it.

I am on 4.4.4 rooted with Xposed installed, stock ROM, stock kernel, and have a full nandroid backup of the current state.

As 5.0 just uses ART I assume I first need to uninstall Xposed. From there do I just fastboot flash the system.img and boot.img from the 5.0 .tgz? Or am I missing a step.

Also how can I retain root after updating?

Thanks,

Dan
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red_skittles:
I use a 100 character password to secure my Google Account and have 2 factor authentication set up. In previous versions of Android I was able to generate a one time app specific password and use this to set up my Android device, saving me the trouble of typing out a 100 character alpha-numeric password. This doesn't look like its possible in 5.0 anymore, as the 2FA is built in to the initial set up process and you are required to login with your Google Account password, not an app specific password. I pushed the KeePassDroid APK to my device, skipped the initial setup, then added my Google Account from Settings > Accounts after copying my password from my KeePass file. However, doing this did not trigger the Restore dialogue, so my apps and data were not restored and I don't think there is a way to manually trigger a restore. I factory reset my device, changed my Google Account password to 8 characters, and went through the initial setup and was able to restore my apps and data.

At this point I figured I could just change my Google Account password back to 100 characters and copy and paste from my KeePass file when prompted to re-enter my Google credentials. This was not the case as the password prompt took me to a browser sign in and it appears the paste function is blocked. How haseveryone else using a password manager and a long, not easily remembered password been going through the initials set-up?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilkyJohnson:
A 100 character password is extremely excessive.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red_skittles:
I use a password manager with auto fill so the length of the password doesn't really affect me. If the password is going to be random with no way for me to remember it anyway, might as well make it the max character length. The issue still remains. If you use a password manager to store your Google credential, the initial set up of 5.0 can be cumbersome. Previously you could just generate a one time password and that would work. Now that 2FA is integrated into Lollipop's initial setup you are required to enter your actual Google account password then verify with a 2FA (if you use it).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilkyJohnson:
But that's not working out so well for you today, is it?

At least you'll never get hacked. Lol. Even with a brute-force on your login, you still have two-step - so password length is kind of irrelevant.

Network and storage issues + Google play crashes

Posted this as a topic in the Nexus 5 general Q&A, they told me to ask it to you guys here, so here I go.

So I woke up today and after about an hour I wanted to open the Play store when it immediatly crashed after opening it. After trying to reboot the phone trouble started.

- My Nexus got stuck in a boot loop (I should probably tell I was running the Google L beta (the one which was out for a while not the newly released 5.0 preview), let it run for over 30 minutes and still nothing, even after a few tries.

- Decided to flash the stock 4.4.4 image from the Google developer website and I got it to work again.

- After I reconfigured all the settings I noticed I didn't have any network: no calls, no text messaging, no LTE, 3G, etc. Also Google play services and other apps weren't working and immediately crashed (camera and gallery).

- I decided to reflash the radio image but without succes.

- After reflashing the stock image a few times I decided to try different versions, so I tried 4.4.3. Still no network.

- Then I tried to flash the newly release 5.0 preview, but that too got stuck in a bootloop (even after going to recovery mode and cleaning the cache, wiping all data).

- So after doing this for a few hours without any luck I thought maybe a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod might work. Things got worse. I noticed when trying to paste the CM image on my device (via windows/usb cable) I was unable to acces my folders. (see images)

- Trying to use the CM installer (from get.cm) resulted into trying to download the installer (APK file) and getting the error 'No SD'. Just that. This also happens when I try to install any other APK. So basically not being able to acces the play store or being able to download single APK's from Google leaves me with all standard apps... Which isn't alot.

- USB drivers are OK (can post pictures if needed). Reinstalled them anyway.

I tried 4.4.0, 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 using fastboot without any succes.

So yeah i'm pretty stuck, any help is really appreciated. I tried so many different topics on these forums and others its just getting worse with each method I try to fix the issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chileno4Live:
It might be an IMEI issue. Check your IMEI number and verify if it's the same as the one written on a sticker on the box where your nexus 5 came from. You don't need to tell your IMEI to us, might be dangerous.

You can find your IMEI on the device by going to: settings, about phone, status.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatsaat:
Thank you for your response, both IMEI and IMEI SV in the 'about phone' section stata 'unknown'... Is this any help?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chileno4Live:
I was afraid you would find that. I'm sorry to say, but I think you got yourself into some serious trouble. Your IMEI probably got lost and as far as I know, that process is irreversible unless you did an efs backup with twrp recovery for example. I think you need to send your device to Google.

Maybe someone else can help you?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatsaat:
Yeah that doesn't sound good. At least I know what's wrong now, thanks a lot for you help sir!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chileno4Live:
You're welcome! I hope you'll manage to fix this somehow. In the future, make sure you always have an efs backup on your PC for example. That way you can avoid these issues.

How to login to my Google Apps account?

I just installed Android Lollipop on my phone, and now I can't log-in to my school's email account.

They use Google apps for email.

Normally I just enter my email address and password on the same page and it works, but the new interface requires that I enter my email first then move to the password page. That's fine and dandy for normal gmail accounts, but for my school account it states that my account doesn't exist after the first page.

I really hate that it's happening because I like to have easy access to my email. I know that if I could enter my password I'd be able to log-in, making this new type of interface change pointless.

Where do I go to make a request to Google to change this page back to what it used to be? It's not better the new way it is, regardless of whatever pre-loading Google is able to do.

problem with encryption

Hi there,

I had a problem with the encryption of my phone. Once flashed by fastboot, I encrypted the phone. After, I tried to flash TWRP and I did it but It could not mount the SD card (E/) because encrypted.

Then, recoveries aren't working if a previous encryption has being done.
