Hi,

I installed android L preview version from the instructions in this link "http://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html#top". Everything works fine except that i dont find recovery. When i boot to recovery there is just an android logo with exclamation mark. Shouldn't be there a stock recovery? i also fastboot flashed recovery but still i am missing it...can anyone throw some light on what i might be doing wrong...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
That is the stock recovery. Press volume up+volume down+power at the same time to open the menu (you may have to press the buttons several times to get it right).

I hope when L is officially released they don't balls up the file system structure, otherwise surely we'll have to wipe everything to update
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockkk:
Probably been answered here. But I had the no SD card error so in followed the directions from the previous page and now it works great. Now when I go into storage I have 9.23 gigs of "misc". The 9.23 gigs consists of " 0" I'm assuming from the SD card. Does that have to stay? Or can i delete to get some memory back?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmazzamj:
Hello everybody.

I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered already but as there is no Q&A in the second post, I'll ask my question.

When do you guys think we will see the first ROMs based on Android L DP? Do you know if any of the big groups are currently working on those?I'm asking because as some of you, despite not being a developer, I am running Android L DP and I like it so far, but at the same time I miss many features from Kikkats based ROMs.

I know we may never see any ROM based on this DP, but it would a good way for the big names to test it before a final version is released to the public (I did not remember Google use to release Android DP before, did you?).

Thanks for your time and answers in advance.

restoring from CWM recovery

I made a back up of Android L with CWM and when I try to restore Android L boots Google on screen and then boots again to Google on screen after a few seconds then boots back to recovery. Anyone try to back up and restore with success? Using latest 6.0.4.5 CWM recovery.

Thanks!

[MENTION=962867]El Daddy[/MENTION]

Should we worry about reporting the dozens of threads popping up about L.....after pointing them to the general or Q&A dedicated threads? Lol

Its getting pretty nuts....and users looking for help on official versions will be sifting through all those L threads to find threads on 4.4.3, 4.4.4 etc?

Seems people don't want to use existing threads for anything. ;)

Just curious....before I flood you guys with reports. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWBgHz:
Read through and it seems the SDcard (unable to see contents) issue is not something anyone has found a fix for? back to KitKat and then wipe/reinstall of L is only way to get back SDcard?

Man, I will forever hate Google for NOT including and actual SDcard slot, so stupid and such a pain in the arse.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Even if it had an sdcard shot I don't think L would see it. It didn't see an otg usb stick either
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWBgHz:
Didn't mean SDcard would fix this issue, just makes total wipe so much easier to recover from rather than having to move data back via USB or other means.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockkk:
....or something as easy as google drive?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravityy:
quick question, can I backup data using twrp end then restore it in L? thanks :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWBgHz:
Nothing easy about waiting for 20 gigs of crap to copy back and forth. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
Honestly.... Did you fully wipe when flashing or dirty flash. I can see SD card and their contents
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWBgHz:
I tried doing without flashing userdata and got the issue. Flashed back 4.4.4 and am doing clean L flash now now. Odd thing is, at first it worked fine ... rooted and got Root Explorer going and copied data back but then couldn't see SD contents.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
The thing is that I see allot of people don't and no offense to you is they want to root the preview and have all the same features they had on their previous ROM which is an unrealistic expectation. I'd highly recommend everyone backup their contents and if they want to try make sure they flash a clean install. This may rule out most common issues that have been reported over the last couple days.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWBgHz:
I figured I would try with userdata intact first, no biggy to redo but saves trouble if it works. Just hate the hassle of moving data back, so much easier with an actual external SDcard.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

Seems to be working now after clean flash ... just moving data back through USB now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
Great to hear.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWBgHz:
Even more curious, first time I flashed L (Thursday) I did clean flash and had issues with not being able to copy from PC to SD, so I went back to KitKat since there wasn't root yet and figured I would tackle later.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
The storage issue is still there. Worked well until I restored a nandroid then lost the ability to see the sdcard, anywhere. Flashed the userdata.img in fastboot, then booted into recovery and restored the nandroid and it came back. So L is using storage differently than previous releases
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1ManWolfePack:
If you fastboot the entire factory image you will restore the proper file structure and get all of your storage back.

If you're worried about losing data, maybe a Dev preview isn't for you. This is a tried and true method to restore those missing directories and partitions. If you want to do it another way, troubleshoot and try yourself - but the answer for a fix will be the same:

Flash full package through fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Guys. Get the latest multirom and there's a zip in their thread of L.....installs as a secondary ROM with no effort or issue. Nothing needs to be wiped and you can go back to your daily driver with a reboot.

Easy!

Just my 2 cents. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testinguser:
They changed the tether_dun_required variable name in this release. Now setting this var to 0 does not enable tethering anymore like it did previously. Anyone figured out what the new variable is called?

So far the only bug I can find is that if I use the system ringtones they will ring at least a couple of times. If I use my imported (custom) ringtones they only ring once. Anyone else experience this.

Just to follow up: I tried with TWRP and it worked flawlessly, I'll flash CWM and I give it a shot.

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 AM ----------

When you say full package do you mean batch install it or flash every partition manually?

I always do it manually and I prefer knowing what I'm doing, if you know what I mean.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagreci:
I tried to install it with twrp but got a fail message, but didn't try a second time. I'll wait til you try it. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmazzamj:
If I go the multirom way and I flash the entire Google stock package in fastboot, will I restore the KK partitions or do I need to do anything else?

Cheers
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You need to install multi ROM's recovery, then the app from play store on your primary ROM. Which will be what you have now. Then you just install the L zip found in multirom thread as a secondary ROM. That's it. Don't wanna keep it....just delete it. And you're primary ROM is never affected.

Of course then you can flash whatever else whenever....I have 4 ROMs at the moment. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmazzamj:
What do you mean when you say you tried to install it with TWRP?

Did you try flashing an L zip in TWRP? I thought your issue was restoring an L backup in CWM, am I wrong?

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 AM ----------

Sounds too easy to be true.

I never tried multirom because I remember reading it was a HUGE GIANT HACK which affected the partition scheme deeply. Did they make it as straightforward as you said? Too good to be true!

Hey guys,

after flashing the Android L developer preview i only have 12.5 GB of space left! I have the 16gb Version - I did a full flash. I didn't erase cache before flashing the new L cache. I just flashed over the previous 4.4.4 flash.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1ManWolfePack:

The phone uses some of that room for itself. I think my 32gb uses about that much on a clean wipe.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintrann:
My phone has been a lot lately, but only because of using the GPS, whether it's Google Maps or Waze. It gets warm over time if I'm just browsing through the internet or check social media. I take long drives to place to place often, but it gets annoying when it starts to overheat. I do charge it while I use the GPS, I put the brightness up to about half way so I can see the map, and I use a windshield mount for the phone. It hasn't gotten to the point where it overheats where I can't charge it or crashes. The hottest it has gotten to is between 115-125 F. Is there a way for it to keep it cooled down? I'm using the CarbonROM if that helps out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
first off, are you talking about cpu temps or battery temp? for cpu, 115-125F is relatively cool. it overheats at 105C(221F).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintrann:
Sorry, battery temp
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
ok, 125F is a little warm for the battery, but still within the safe range. if your battery reaches 60C, which would be extremely rare, your phone will automatically power off(to cool off), as that is a safety feature to protect the battery from overheating.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintrann:
So the phone is absolutely fine until it reaches that point?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yup. technically its fine at that point as well(for short periods of time), but thats the point googles developers decided to be safe with. the only time i get my battey really hot is when im plugged in and playing a cpu intensive game or plugged in and streaming a movie. but that doesnt bother me, as in those situations it reaches the cpu safety limit of 105C(i disable thermal throttle, the first cpu temp safety) way before the battery gets too hot :)

Hi all,

I noticed that The Sickness had closed his threads :confused: and his downloads are no longer available. Luckily, beforehand i got his permission to post his work on a torrenting site along with the images he used in his postings to help with download availability. I'll seed as long as I can. If you download, please seed at least overnight while you sleep, or as long as you can, so that they will be available for others. They can be found here:

-0-

and

-0-

The Sickness Edition V2 has JUST been posted so give people time to download it and start seeding. Might take a day or so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] exitpr0gram:
At the request of "The Sickness" i have removed these links. He specifically stated he closed his threads because he did not want anyone to download them any more.

If you want a copy of anything related to S3 or S4 for MetroPCS (And TMobile for S4) please let me know via PM. This type of situation is why i collect the files and back them up.

His ROMs were, by my opinion, the best out there by FAR for our device.. So many options, so fast, and so well made. Kinda upset that i'm a little upset with him for doing this. But whatever. Let me know if you guys need anything.

EDIT:

I didn't mean to leave out every one who helped him! They deserve just as much credit for these fine ROMS.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
What the hell? Did I miss something as to why he did this? I see no form of abuse or trolling on his thread(s). :confused:

Only hint I'm getting at is his post here.

Sickness, if you're reading this please understand there are hundreds, possibly even thousands of people who appreciate your work. Hence the download count on all your ROMs put together. Do NOT get stressed out by the lack of "thanks" on your posts. Just think of the download counts, and knowing your hard work is currently being/already installed on hundreds of rooted phones, as a thank you from the people who don't click that button. I too would be frustrated with the lack of appreciation because I'm the same way and expect some form of praise for my hard work.

But after all your donations, and your current "thanks meter", you should not get stressed over this.

If this is completely not the reason you removed all your download links, then disregard this post. Just wanted to let you know to not let things like that get to you regardless.

Your ROM is the only updated fully customized TW based ROM on this forum for this device. And for those who need WiFi Calling I'm pretty sure this is the go-to ROM. And it always will be, for me at least.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] exitpr0gram:
Oh, sorry.

Hard to say why. Developers undergo LOTS of stress. One will never know just how much just stress until you become one. and this is in his free time so im sure he threw up the middle finger when he'd had enough.... I would have.;)

DONATION TO GET HIM TO COME OUT WITH VERSION 3 TO SHOW OUR APPRECIATION :laugh::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
I don't think a donation would do much in this situation. His links are down everywhere. So something has obviously pissed him off over the edge. Sounds to me he's going to get a new device and start over in whichever subforum that may be, and leave the S4 behind. Probably deleted everything off his hard drive as well because I don't think he's going to spend the time re-uploading everything. Kind of depressing, actually. Those who DID support him got the shaft.

Also check your PM's when you get a minute, bro. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Think he said he had a Note3, so that is why he no longer had an S4. I agree with the making a donation being a waste - did that on another S4 Dev who walked, so these shafts are getting a bit old. There was not much development being done on this one anyway for some time - mostly theming - nothing functional.

Will probably keep this a Multiboot primary ROM for now , and hope if we get the next generation Android, someone else will pick it up. In the meantime, some nice AOSP and other base ROMs to mess with. If the OP of Omega could somehow get WiFi calling incorporated - that would be the way to go. Talk about a dev with some real class.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SelfElevated2:
Chill out on the shaft talk guys. You don't know what his plans are or why his threads closed.

He specifically closed his threads because of ungrateful , complaining posts all in his threads. It hasnt even been 12 hours yet. Let the man chill

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
The shaft subject is in regards to every single link of his being removed from any kind of distribution. Even the OP who was nice enough to upload them to torrents was asked to remove them. That doesn't just happen unless the dev calls it quits. Removing the links from XDA is understandable, but when the links are no where to be found on dev-host and androidfilehost under his accounts, it's only obvious where it's headed.

He can take all the chill out time he needs. I'm just saying that the people who support him are getting the shaft because he just released v4 of the Sickness Modz which can't be downloaded now. Along with his custom edition ROM.

Just so everyone knows my boy The Sickness "for real" lol... gave me permission to post a download link to Insanity V9 in my theme thread since all my themes are based off of Insanity Rom and the last few days I been bustin a $$ inverting all the required apks as a base to bring all of my themes over to the S4. But just so everyone knows there will be no more updates/dev work on it as of now but maybe hopefully he will come back and drop a bad ass update for everyone! So by tomorrow i will have posted and ported over some dope ass themes for everyone to enjoy and in my threads i will have a link to download Insanity V9 to go with it.

You didn't employ him. You don't employ him. He provided a service. You used it. He didn't take a bunch of donations before releasing ANYTHING then run off with your donation. You donated as a thanks for the shiz you used.

Do I think he should of removed links? No. But he has the right to quit any damn time he wishes BECAUSE one you don't employ him. 2 this isnt a job. 3 cause he can for any reason.
