Which network provider u guys have? Is it possible that the provider blocks this?

Or it already worked on earlier version?

CHEERS
[Nexus 5 Android Development] david279:
Im on sprint but it always worked for me on earlier verisons(4.4.1,4.4.2 and 4.4.3).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
I have two things to say...

1. This is a development release, there ARE going to be bugs...

2. If people would just search and read, I wouldn't have to read 30 pages to catch up every hour.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
U only have the Tethering problem or also SMS/MMS?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] UltimateEnd:
T-Mobile.

On the last build , there was a fix that would let the user go over the 5GB WiFi hotspot.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] david279:
I can send MMS but not receive but i use google voice anyway so it doesnt matter to me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
So if there was a special fix for that, it seems to be understandable why it's maybe not working on this development version, or?!

CHEERS

So this seems to be definitely a APN problem. And when u aren't able to set/change anything u have to choose for urself if u can life with it, go back or call the provider.

CHEERS
[Nexus 5 Android Development] UltimateEnd:
I'm not sure.

I've tethered over 200GB .

It sometimes stays "authenticating" or "obtaining IP" .. So idk.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] david279:
Actually it would at least connect before but it doesn't even connect. When on T-mobile it would connect but after using so much data you would get a upsell asking you to upgrade your plan for more data but it worked out the box. T-mobile allots all data plans with a certain amount of tethering data.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

Also i think hangouts maybe the issue. I can go to textra and send/receive mms just fine.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
Let's say at this point: It's in work from Google to fix some things.

Ppl who definitely need this, shouldn't use Android L then ?

Just to stop this "discussion" at this point.

CHEERS ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] picton:
There is a problem with TWRP that remounts your system after you wipe it. You need to go back into mount and deselect it prior to flashing the ROM.

Hope this helps. Its a problem I ran into. If in doubt double check everything you have done.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] X04D:
Works pretty well so far!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Roll3r:
Ran into this issue with two different causes:

1) The flashable zip in the OP was corrupt each time I downloaded it (test yours in Windows/etc to make sure it extracts)

which, when I flashed, lead to:

2) There was old script data in /tmp. In TWRP, go to Advanced>File Manager and delete everything in /tmp. Reflash a working zip.

Done and done.

Is there a way I can use Logcat to diagnose why my wifi keeps dropping? I did a fresh clean flash of the OP files. And the problem is still relevant. I never had this issue in KK. Ive used logcat before, Im just not sure what Id be looking for in regards to the wifi drops...

Thanks for any help. PS, in order to work around the flash error above, I loaded the file onto my flash drive, and used an OTG to flash, no problem.

When I go into the wifi, and sit and watch it. It seems to scan, then show no networks. (I have about 7 in range)

Then says, SAVED. If i wait a moment, it connects again. About 2 mins later, drops again. Over and over.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Alfonso87:
Guys about thetering... I'm tring thetering usb, i remember that for 4.4 you must add a single code string in com.android.providers.settings to enable it. I'm not able to do it with sqlite (it seems that com.android.providers.settings it's empty). Any tip?

PS. i tried to change pw for wifi ap as said before, but it didn't work.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ishamm:
I am unable to make any downloads on chrome, they all come up as unsuccessful. Any one else funding this?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Alfonso87:
How i enable heads up notifications? or in which situation they get out? couse till now i haven't seen any :S
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
U already tried to different explorers?

U also tried to flash again with fullwipe?

At least u tried to wipe internal SD, too? (Be careful as u delete zip, too. So u have to do this with the userdata.img, see OP)

CHEERS

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

USB Tethering and Tethering (mobile) or two different things, so I always talked about and tested the normal Tethering as AP.

CHEERS

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Tested and working fine here.

Try to uninstall updates of Chrome and/or delete data of it.

Otherwise use another browser.

Head up notifications? U mean hover effect?

This isn't included here.

Only lockscreen notifications, by default.

somehow i deleted one of my home screens and now only have one screen along with the google now side. how do i add more pages? i tried zooming out but nothing happens also tried holding down on the wallpaper but there was no options
[Nexus 5 Android Development] The Rubenator:
Un-Mount

How do you un-mount in TWRP when the only option I see is Mount, please advise and thanks :confused:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
Just unselect /system. If u would select, it's mounted, that's all!

CHEERS

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

Just hold an app and hold it quite close to the right side on screen.

CHEERS
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 1ManWolfePack:
You have to grab an icon or widget and push it to the right side of the screen. It'll create a new screen. If you delete everything off the screen, the screen goes bye-bye.

You'll see. I use a few tricks (BS placeholder apps) to get it all setup.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ahmed534:
go yo Mount then uncheck "system" after making the wipes. then you can flash the ROM zip file
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Revthejedi:
I was having the same issue with Chrome not downloading files, as it turns out the sd card wasn't being utilized in the OS so I followed all the steps again (ensuring that all user data was wiped before flashing) and I can download files and use my phones internal storage again. Hope that helps.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brusslesprouts:
thanks got it:good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stramondroid:
If the kernel is what enables the wifi to work,. would it be logical that changing the kernel could in essence help the issues im running into?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
But if it's the stock kernel, more ppl should have this strange behavior.

Did u change anything on kernel/system?

Otherwise u can try a kernel, but mostly this brings other problems too, because they r not updated for a developer preview.

If all anyway is strange I would recommend a fullwipe reflash.

CHEERS
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
so far only the ART kernels on XDA runs on L version... the hiccup with the rest kernels are as they don't have baseband you turn your phone into a tablet... No GSM/Hspa service so for now i would stick to kernel or the tweaked kernel mentioned....

And one day when i come to this forum i would see a L nightly build oh God i am waiting for that :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
What?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
dirty flash or clean install also have you tried the tweaked kernel mentioned in OP?

So I have now twice had Google Now Launcher crash when I was listening to Spotify. I can switch between apps and if I back all the way trying to get to the launcher, it just goes to a back screen and then the app I backed out of, it opens up again.

I don't know how to report bugs, so if someone can tell me, or can report the bug please do.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 1ManWolfePack:
Elgoogs@gmail.com

^best guess. In all seriousness, it's a Google+ thread for bug reports. It's some pages back and some say they cannot "join" it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ghettopops:
Is this the Kernel in OP's first post? Is it different than the one that comes with the ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
No this is a modified kernel just to get root functioning correctly on L preview BUT since chainfire has released the preview version of super su we now use this instead to root your device. Otherwise the kernel in OP has no other added value to it as the kernel source for L has not been released and probably will not be released till the final version of L ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sam.balia1012:
i flashed the rom and in less than 12mins everything that i need in a phone is working

followed the OP, flashed my update.zip (from tibu) ... 3hrs later still looking good
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Shanks:
That's the 1, hope it works, i haven't tried it, i flashed android L, tested and flashed back to sokp so i can't test
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Damian2013:
Not the same thing. I want the system heads up notifications not an app adding it. Notice I asked how to enable it not how to install an apk.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
so, why recommend it to someone asking how to enable it in L?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Shanks:
Ok mmmhhh , it would be great if rovo89 would let us have a copy of his xposed that works on art, which is still alpha
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
again, odds are that it's something that needs to be enabled in the app by the developer, not a switch you can flip to make work...

and, since this is a developers PREVIEW (and released several months in advance of the expected actual release), there are likely substantial changes to the underlying android system which will need to be adjusted for by the various developers. I'm surprised that there are so many apps actually working normally under the circumstances.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GizmoTheGreen:
Android L can mirror screen to a chromecast? anyway to bring that to kitkat?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
well, if there is, I doubt you'll find it in this thread, a search of xda would be of more use... given that this thread is *supposedly* about vomers install zip to simplify installing L on your n5...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
'Quoted by rovo89' Yeah.. I'm currently playing around with it a bit, trying to get adb working in root mode and stuff which makes it easier to develop.

It's indeed still a preview release, and it's a moving target (there are very strong signs that Google will update the preview before the final release). Root apps and even some normal apps don't work well at the moment. It's good that I can try what is necessary to get Xposed running, but I haven't decided yet whether I will work on a Xposed preview release for this preview ROM. I'll share some more thoughts once I had the chance to look deeper into it.

Hey guys,

Please search the thread before asking questions. It is very likely your question has already been asked and answered. Kindly point members in the right direction instead of responding with a sarcastic or abusive remark. Remember, not everyone is as knowledgeable as you may be. There is no need to be jerks to the more novice members. We're all XDA members for the same reason. :)

Please keep posts to the topic of the thread. General "L" questions should be asked in the dedicated sticky thread in the Q&A section.

Thread Cleaned

Thanks,

[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
So, I know my question has been asked and answered in the past... I have spent and hour playing with my phone and 45 minutes searching the thread and haven't been able to solve my issue. Over the past 2 days, I have gone back and forth between Android L and Purity about 3 times with no issues. All of a sudden, when I went to Android L, I go to download stuff from Zedge and Chrome, I get, "No SD Card". I followed the instructions in the OP at the bottom to resolve this issue and it didn't fix it. I searched and went through everyone's posts in this thread and didn't find a solution besides people pointing to the OP... which I have tried.

Part of the OPs instructions have you do a Factory Reset...Even after doing a factory reset in Android L, when I go into recovery mode, all my stuff is still on my SD card under 0 from 4.4... so it's not really erasing my original SD card.

Thoughts please?

Edit: I just noticed that I also have in Purity.... /Storage/Emulated/0/0 to get to some of my files... I have files in both the first 0 and the second 0

I also have /Storage/SDCard0/0/0 which has different stuff than the Emulated files.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Just throwing that out there the Android L preview bootloader for N5 is the same as the previous ones, HHZ11K. no need to reflash.

edit: HHZ11K has been the bootloader since Android 4.4.1 on N5. See http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-5/hammerhead/

same MD5 hash as the img from the 4.4.4 system image.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
Sorry for the wait/confusion guys :)

Link is up in op - pls flash and test (make a backup as usual)

Cheers!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alistair3149:
Flashing userdata will wipe your SD card even if your bootloader is unlocked, that's why everyone is asking for a zip
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Geordie Boyo:
Can you flash the L radio on 4.4.4 KitKat?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eluspo:
Thanks! Do we still need to flash radio and bootloader?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paychex:
probably
[Nexus 5 Android Development] iGoogleNexus:
Lol will this flash the radio or is that separate? :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Downloading :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Yeah you can, I'm using the L radio on 4.4.4 and its working fine.

Nope.. bootloader is the same bootloader since Android 4.4.1, HHZ11K.

Radio... no, use the radio that gives u the best signal. It may be the newest one, maybe your older one. Give it a try and compare and contrast. Radios vary on your location and there is no best radio. Only you can conclude that
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dex2grigg:
my god your upload speed must be amazing?

We won't install the stock recovery, when we flash the zip. right.? Does this have root/superuser?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] met97:
hi guys, i'm downloading the flashable zip of the rom :D

Fast question: Do i need to update bootloader, before flashing this rom?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mrfeuss:
Chainfire has already said on his Twitter that root is not yet working on the L release. He's hoping to have time to get to it next week.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zahir.dk:
That was lightning fast
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
No and no
[Nexus 5 Android Development] imablackhat:
So - this is a preview (beta build), as in we're going to be getting more updates eventually which we can flash on top?

Is the radio going to be final with release does anyone know?

Lets say its too buggy and we want to revert, it just feels unbalanced having new radio and older rom.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] amus76:
Just read the thread: the zip is all inclusive
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nextelbuddy:
Quick question, why when flashing via fastboot you have to flash the bootloader first but when flashing the TWRP zip file we dont have to do that? is teh TWRP zip file include the new bootloader as well?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53704449&postcount=161

And the answer is no you don't have to update, chances are you already have the latest bootloader as the Android L bootloader is the same bootloader since Android 4.4.1, HHZ11K.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
and people wonder why I recommend clean flashing only... especially when changing roms... :p

zip's may make it easy, but google android images are the way to go. :p backup data to cloud/pc storage, use google's flash-all batch or script (windows or linux) and go from there. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
If you can take a backup of the whole SDcard then proceed to format the SDcard data from TWRP after factorywipe/cache davlik unmount and if you got NRT install the rom from your pc as you are wiping the complete device to a clean state. i had the same issue. i guess its the folder structuring of L screwing up and makes app point to a folder which L's sdcard would be shown...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
I clean flash when changing ROMs, but not in the same way I think you are referring to. :) I've been doing this for years and not had any issues.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] teh roxxorz:
Like he said, flashing zips are fine.

But generally:

Clean wipe:

- changing roms > rom A to rom B

- changing bases > 4.3 > 4.4 [example]

A simple cache wipe is fine if upgrading to a newer version of an an installed rom; but if that rom changed bases, you should do a backup and do a clean install.

My practices.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stramondroid:
I was clean flashed. Using the modified kernel. Clean flashed again. Problem was prevalent again until I rebooted. Now WiFi is stable and everything else is perfect. Thanks Vomer. And anyone else who attempted to assist me. Now time to dev some apps lol

Mirroring only works with if you have a rooted chromecast with Eureka on it (you will need to check the chromecast forums for that. once you have that and the updated play services on your device it will work for L as well as 4.4

Thanks vomer for the file and the titanium backup zip tip. Had no idea you could do that.

Are developer previews typically updated? Or just a one time preview before release?

How do you turn this silent? Volume rockers don't work now like they use to.

Could someone make a battery percent mod?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
you do realize that this is a developers preview, not really recommended for a daily driver yet?

and volume rockers work fine here...

and system monitor (paid app) has a battery percent notification option...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] njnets123:
Press and hold on the bell icon, you can also bring up App Info in recents by holding the app's icon
[Nexus 5 Android Development] blinde:
So? This seems to work just fine as daily driver.

And what's wrong with battery mod? I don't want any unnecessary apps running.

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------

Oh, so that's how it works, thanks!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Well, then I would suggest either being patient and wait until someone decides to make your batery mod, or learn to code one yourself... demanding someone make one isn't usually effective...

I never said it wouldn't work as a daily driver, I said it's not recommended as a daily driver yet, there's a difference... it's like when I had a honda civic... it worked fine for off-roading in the mountains, but it wasn't recommended for that type of daily use.. (in my experience, a developer preview is usually somewhere between alpha and beta classed software... probably buggy as hell, but let's push it out so people can see what we are working on, and start to gear their own software towards the same styling)
