In my case, I just want to wipe them all. Before I do the wipes, I backup everything that I need to pc, so I'm not cleaning unwanted things. And about the format process made by updater-scripts, I already saw an updater-script without the format code. It only "threw" things to system partition without formating it, so I format everytime now, just to be sure it is being formated.

Edit:

About formating /data/media, what I notice is that cwm format the two things like if they are two different partitions. So I don't lose the simulated SD ^^

:eek:

If a dev doesn't wipe the system partition as part of a ROM updater-script I wouldn't waste time flashing his ROM unless he is intending to replace only certain files as an incremental update, which I have seen, and if that's the case you shouldn't format it either.

You should continue to flash ROM's in whatever manner makes you comfortable as long as it works but this discussion started with your post commenting that certain formats in the flashing instructions on the OP aren't necessary. Once the subject was brought up I thought it would be best to make it clear what is really necessary and that's been done. :good:

Edit: My apologies, as it was actually this post by [MENTION=3390768]Detafewa[/MENTION] that started the partition formatting discussion.

And that is....

Trust me, futbol (as most of the world knows soccer), is a much more elegant game. ;)

This Wall Street Journal article estimates that there are about 11 minutes of action in a 2-3 hour NFL game versus 90+ for a 2 hour soccer match. IMO the best thing about NFL games are the beer and food that go along with them, especially if you watch them at a sports bar.

Of course I'm a little biased since I've been a soccer referee for a long time, but I really think most soccer fans outside North America would be disappointed with American football as a sport, since it's mostly the madness that surrounds it that makes it exciting. :rolleyes:

I didn't say that because of the action but the other things you mentioned. You know, here we are born inhaling "soccer", so since I was a kid, I play futebol (in pt_br) along my friends. We watch it drinking beers and mocking ourserlves. But nothing compares to what NFL makes to public. But, pesonally, I would rather watch NBA games xD

In fact, most of the world knows "soccer" as football or any other variation of it. One thing we laugh at here, is that we don't have a clue why american football is known as that and soccer is soccer hahaha

[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
So digging through misc and some db files, I see there isn't a ipconfig.txt in L while there is in kit Kat which makes me go hmmmm. Is this not being created on L and that is why the static IP addresses have to be added each time. Wouldn't that also have something to do with the tethering on the n5?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Here's another article that covers that pretty well. This part is pretty amusing, as is the video by John Cleese:

So the term "soccer" actually came from England but they gave it up along with their measurement system while Americans hang on to both. :confused:

Whatever caused that change may be affecting the network related problems but I doubt that Google left ipconfig out by accident. We would need to know how and what it was transitioned to in order to make any intelligent guesses about its potential impact on those problems.

The ipconfig app from the Play Store still works fine and it hasn't been updated since 2010 so if Google moved that configuration information the API to access it must have remained the same. That's one of the differences between working at the file level versus having the source code to review.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Well maybe [MENTION=3518875]bist[/MENTION]ra will give it a try and see if it does anything when he tries to configure his static IP and see if it holds.

It is possible it did get left out or not configured
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Have you tried it with your Nexus 4? I would think anyone who knows the subnet of their router could test assigning a fixed IP address.

Fixed IP addresses need to be assigned by access point (SSID) for WiFi networks so that may be another reason why L handles it differently.

Hi all.... Been off the custom Roms for a while now and decided to give this a go. Installed lpv-79-mako-port-beta4.zip last night. It's great. Just have that Wifi not disconnecting when out of range bug. Any links to which Beta I should flash to get fixed? I noticed a lot of versions in the DL threads for Generic Android devices, for N4, for kernels, etc.

If anyone can recommend what I should flash, preferably without trying out different kernels. Not really too clued up on this stuff, but its fun and I like the end result especially if it is a stable driver :) Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] googleygoggles:
Try 5.9 series (link at the bottom of OP and pick the Mako one) or you can test "beta" 6 (second post) which is actually stable in my opinion.

My N4 is getting very hot from time to time... How can I fix that?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] manueltts:
Stock kernel and last version of BBW? You could undervolt cpu and set thermal throttling lower. Maybe a custom kernel (like Ultra Unleashed by defconoi) would be easier for tweaking. But anyway, it could be an specific app, because for me it doesn't look that the rom have heating issues in stock mode.

Ive used ipConfig app on the flo:

the 'big' difference (and this is the only one) between DHCP wifi and STATIC IP wifi seems the Subnet Mask:

with DHCP -> Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

with STATIC -> Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0 :confused:

In 'Advanced Option' of Input fields for STATIC we have no chance to edit the Subnet Mask...

But, as I know 'Subnet Mask' is definitv a part of STATIC IP config specification! :confused:

so far the Static IP wifi entry is sporadic switched off by system... -> no data transfer..

Edit: cross checked the configs with ' ifconfig wlan0 ' in terminal -> same result - no subnet mask!

Reading through that. It isn't a L issue but a hangouts issue and we are experiencing the issue worse on L because it is the only option.

The playlists are stored somewhere I'm guessing.

All my music has been uploaded to Google music so I can stream it out and about. Think that's the easiest way, especially when you're flashing ROMs like there's no tomorrow.

I don't get it. the issue is not just Hangouts. All apps have issues with MMS on L. So are they saying that L handles MMS in a different way and all apps need to be upgraded accordingly?

Really? Why is it still optional to use Hangouts for SMS then? Are you saying that is just to control which UI is used?

Someone mentioned that Textra works fine if you set the option to switch WiFi off when sending, but under the covers is it still Hangouts controlling the actual transmission? :confused:

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ph37rd:
Two options, neither of which you'll be happy with:

1. Turn it off

If it really must be on;

2. Put it in the refrigerator

It gets hot because the glass is doing what it's supposed to, sucking heat away from the components getting hot.

While undervolting does nothing to save battery, it will help with heat. The trade-off is instability.

Slowing your phone down well help with heat at the expense of performance.

Also, if doing something intensive, don't charge your phone at the same time unless you have it in front of a fan or the car's AC vent. Charging and running GPS, phone never got above 45C on a recent vacation because I had it in my window mount in front of the AC vent.

Thank you for your reply. I do turn it off when it gets hot. Since this started happening when I switched to Android L, I suppose that is the cause. I'd rather not start messing with the clock speed, etc. I'll just wait for the official release of Android 5.0. Unless you tell me that it could harm the hardware.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ph37rd:
Sorry you took it as rude, was being honest.

The phone is getting hot because it's being used. What you run on your phone, how it's configured and if on the charger will have a bigger impact on heat than something [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] and other devs have done with this ROM and a few bugs. Heat is much the same as battery usage, it's an individual thing.

The next thing to ask is what is hot? 40 degrees? 45? 60? Just saying it's hot may not be considered hot to someone else with peripheral neuropathy. Just sayin' [

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

I've used the moob kernel on earlier versions with some success. He takes a different approach to a kernel than most. No undervolting, but your phone will run cool under max load. You'll have decent battery life and not too bad performance. It's all done with finding the optimum synergy between governors, frequencies and the like.

It's in the N4 general thread. Just make sure to power off instead of rebooting. Once phone is off, then you can start it back up. This makes sure everything gets initialized.

Because they use their own method.

Think of it as in like construction.

A new housing development comes in and uses a preexisting road to connect to the highway. That would be like your normal app and what I mean by using hangouts pathway which would be the road.

Now another housing development comes in and builds it's own road out to the highway. This cause would be it's own pathway there.

So if there is a issue on the preexisting road, then traffic from that development can't get through but the other development could cruise right on through to the highway because they have their own road
