[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariawesome:
Hi,

Currently I am running PA 4.4 Final but would like to use multirom in order to also gain access to Android L preview. I have read that I should do a factory reset before installing the Android L preview as a secondary ROM, but I would like to be able to keep all my data in my primary PA ROM. Is it possible to do a factory reset before installing L without losing everything in PA?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LDH2K10:
I am currently running Android L right now using multirom and haven't had to do any factory reset.

Here's what I did: I downloaded the flashable zip for Android L. Booted into my recovery, went to multirom, added the .zip for Android L and installed it, set it up and I still have my other main ROM (Graviton) to boot into.

*EDIT* or you could go old school and do a full back up of PA and then install Android L, see what you think and then restore PA after you've checked out Android L. Best to do the multirom method though as there's no fussing about :).

So no factory data reset with this method.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariawesome:
Ok. I had just read that it was supposedly more stable after doing a factory reset. I did a full nandroid backup of everything even boot and efs so I guess there is no harm in trying it out without a factory rest. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LDH2K10:
Yeah it would be more stable, as you will have to flash the new radio and kernel that's been modified for root access. However I only flashed through multirom to see what the new version was like. Not to use as a proper daily ROM like I do this one.

Take a look at Wugfesh Nexus Root Toolkit: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

You may find this more helpful for backups and any other useful features. Its a great program to use, no doubt about it :).

if you want to install it as secondary rom through multirom just flash as an additional rom no need of wipe it will work fine
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariawesome:
Thanks guys. I got it running perfectly. I don't think I will use it as a daily driver but it is very nice to have it to mess around with every once in a while. PA is just too stable and smooth to switch to the Android L preview.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LDH2K10:
Just thought.. I'm slow XD. But you can set radio.img using multirom settings from recovery. That way you'll be able to use it mostly functional. Of course its not gonna be fully stable on developer release, but yeah its something to mess about with :D.

Hey,

I have purchased a BT-74R Bluetooth GPS receiver from ebay for my Orange SPV M600 :)

I was wondering if anyone else has this receiver, or a similar one, and what version of TomTom are they using? :)

Just so I can get my PDA going with a version of TomTom that works with it!

Thanks!! :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
I have it, it is brilliant. Quick start up and strong signal, you can even get a good signal inside the house.

I have tested a number of SAT NAV programs, they all work perfectly with this phone and receiver, TOMTOM is the best so far for me, if IGO ever introduce Speed Camera Pois then it would probably win.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gingerbread1611:
ShinyROM will probably be the best for your father.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
No, no and yes. If you want a stable rom you need to use stock. Any rom needs to have the gapps flashed seperately because of copyright. There is one rom that has the gapps in it but that can not be named here. Almost every rom with kitkat has the gel launcher. So just try some. Then see whats best..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latenightchameleon:
SlimKat or CM would be your best bet. A lot of other ROMs are pretty stable too but those are the ones I've had as daily drivers for an extensive time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terry_blair:
"Best" is subjective. If he/you are to busy to flash/try different roms; stick with stock.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayanHore:
Hi,

I am using Xperia SP, C5302, with Android version: 4.3 and Firmware: 12.1.A.205. I want to install CyanogenMod 11 in my mobile.

Going though different tips and tricks, I was able to root my phone, as well as unlock the bootloader. However, I'm unable to install a custom recovery. It is advised everywhere not to proceed with installing any custom ROM without installing custom recovery.

Currently not able to install CWM recovery in my phone. Also when I tried to boot my phone into recovery, it is not working. Is it because there are no custom recovery installed?

If anyone can tell me how to install the custom recovery in my system, will be very helpful. I've tried installing ROM Manager from Play Store, but it is unable to recognize my device. Also Quick Boot app from Play Store is not able to boot into recovery mode. Also tried using Flashtool and fastboot, not working either. :crying:

Right now, I'm not able to proceed with installing CM11 ROM in my Xperia because I'm afraid I will not be able to boot into recovery mode and hence will not be able to complete the installation and ultimately end up with a bricked phone. :(

Any help will be greatly appreciated..!!

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonowax:
Hello everyone;

I'm using a Moto G, with stock 4.4.2 Android. I don't have a data plan, so my carrier will charge me 1,20€ for 30 MB of mobile data traffic, should I use it. For this reason, and because I have wifi access at work and home, I keep mobile data off at all times.

Despite this, I have been charged twice, in three weeks, for mobile data, even though I have it turned off and wifi on at the time I'm being charged for it. Furthermore, the phone was idle on my desk when I was charged - I can tell because I got an SMS whenever I was charged for mobile data.

Has anyone experienced similar behavior? Is the 'off' switch trustworthy?

Thank you in advance

[General Questions and Answers] AyJ:
Hi All,

I have 4 yrs of experience in IT (Telecom/Networks/Desktop support etc.).

After changing many domains, I have finally figured out that I want learn something in which I can put my ideas and create things according to my vision so I have decided to learn programming and decided to go for Android development.

I have researched and found that I will have to learn somethings in Java before I go to Android so I found a course from CBT nuggets for Java. (cbtnuggets . com/it-training-videos/course/java-programming-for-developers).

Could some one tell me that what topics should I choose to learn for going on a path to learn Android development?

The reason why I asked this question is because I read somewhere that I don't have to learn complete Java (it was like "Don't bother learning things like servlets, Swing etc") but core language so I am not sure what topics should I pick and what I should drop. I literally cannot read books to learn anything so chose to learn in thru video tutorials.

Please help me.

Thanks

AyJ

Has anyone figured out a way to change the font and have it reflect within the blinkfeed launcher? I replaced the default font with one from font installer, but the default font only gets changed in non Sense based apps. Does anyone know where the fonts that sense uses are stored?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
Works fine for me if this is what you are asking. View attachment 2821250
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] chrisjm00:
If I select anything other than default font it works fine, however, the font installer app changes what font is considered default. After I install a font and select "default font" to apply it, only certain items system wide accept the change. See attached photo. The launcher font stays the same while the clock and widget took the font change.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
I see. Try a different font. They have another skinny looking one pre installed. My screenshot was from the Ubuntu font. There's a font thread somewhere around the m8 forums with known compatible fonts lemme go find it and post it

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishekk89:
I'm on stock ROM (rooted with unlocked bootloader) and have the latest update 4.4.3. I had a small hardware issue and I need to get the phone serviced. I hence have to relock the bootloader (consequently flash the stock ROM). Are there any issues flashing the older 4.4.2 ROM while relocking the bootloader?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SbM_:
Relocking the bootloader won't change the fact that you're registered in Motorola's database as having requested an unlock code. Hence your warranty is void even if you relock. Besides, relocking won't magically change back the unlock flag of the bootloader to 0. Sorry to tell you, but in one word: you're screwed.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishekk89:
Dang! So I can be refused service even if my phone is misbehaving ? I am having issues with sound. Whenever someone calls me, neither party can hear the other's voice. However when I change to loudspeaker, everything's fine. I also can't listen to music unless I plug in my headphones. I had this problem in the past too and had presumed this to be a hardware problem but once I updated to the newer 4.4.3, everything was swell and suddenly the problem returns. That's the reason why I wanted to get this serviced at a Motorola center.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metpolds:
[MENTION=5074259]abhishekk89[/MENTION] .... As [MENTION=4939717]SbM_[/MENTION] has so correctly and specifically pointed out, by applying to Motorola for the unlock code you have waved goodbye to your Warranty which has now flown away to "...the land of broken promises".... HOWEVER.... this just means that Motorola will not carry out repairs or service under their Warranty conditions. They will repair or service your phone but at your cost, they will charge you for every screw that is undone and every intake of breath that is taken by their service technician.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishekk89:
Okay, at this point of time, I've given up going back to Motorola. At the very least, I want to try and see if I can rectify the problem. One thing I wish to do is downgrade from 4.4.3 that I currently have to 4.4.2 and see if that fixes my issues. Since I heard that there were updates made to the bootloader in 4.4.3 I wanted to make sure I wouldn't brick my device trying to go down from 4.4.3 to 4.4.2.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmr:
I think that going from 4.4.3 to 4.4.2 does not have problem, only from 4.4.4 to 4.4.3 or below.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishekk89:
Thanks! Are you certain about this ? Anyone else did this and had no issues ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmr:
In the other day I went from 4.4.3 US firmware to 4.4.2 GPE, so I think there is no problem.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishekk89:
Thank you! This worked perfectly fine. Unfortunately my issues persist :(
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmr:
What is your problem? Just to see if we can help...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishekk89:
Thank you so much. I have an issue with sound. During a call, the proximity sensor doesn't work and unless I'm on loudspeaker, neither can I hear the caller nor can they hear me. If I use a pair of headphones, I am able to hear them but they can't hear me. The second issue is I can't play anything (YouTube videos or music) using my phone speakers (I hear absolutely nothing). I need to use the headphones to listen to audio. However, I can hear the ringtone if someone calls me so I'm pretty sure the speakers are not kaput. Also, I'm convinced this is not a hardware issue since I've had this problem before in 4.4.2 and when I upgraded to 4.4.3, it had disappeared (until it came back recently). I really don't know what to do since I've done multiple factory resets, downgraded to 4.4.2 and still the problem persists.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmr:
If you already have flashed stock sometimes I think that that can't be a software issue, so it can only be an hardware problem. If I were you I would put the Moto in the warranty so they can see what's wrong with it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlra:
I agree that, sadly, this sounds like a hardware issue. It actually sounds like the phone thinks that you have a headset plugged into the headphone jack even when you don't. Likely the headphone jack is defective, but have you tried maybe blasting some compressed air into the headphone port to see if that helps? Maybe shine a flashlight down it to see if a tiny something got jammed inside? If so, a tiny pair of tweezers might be in order. You could also maybe try shaving down the tip of a cotton swab, dousing what's left with rubbing alcohol, wring it out so it is just damp instead of dripping, and use that to clean the inside of the jack, just in case there is something conductive in there that might be causing the port to think it has something plugged into it.

Unfortunately, he has probably voided his warranty by unlocking his bootloader (which is a RETARDED policy on Motorola's part). Although if I were in his shoes, even knowing the odds were stacked against me, I would try to call Motorola and plead my case: the bootloader unlock did not cause the headphone jack to fail and so should not be held against him. If he talks to the right person, he might be able to get them to make an exception for him.

Good luck,

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If you've tried many and none have worked then I don't see how anyone giving you a specific link is going to help. It's not like we've got some super secret RUU hidden away that's different from the rest. It's like I said a few days ago, you've tried about everything that you can try. If one RUU didn't help, then the rest won't either.

As a last ditch effort you could try something else though, it only applies to people that have used a specific recovery but it might work for you.

Flash CWM touch recovery

fastboot erase cache

Flash older non-touch CWM recovery

fastboot erase cache

Flash twrp 2.6 recovery

fastboot erase cache

Factory reset in TWRP 2.6 recovery

Then wipe everything and flash your ROM

Before you ask, I don't have links to the CWM recoveries, you'll have to do some searching yourself for that.
