[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Elgordo2:
I'm having a similar issue. I run default 4.4.4 and have found no pattern to why its rebooting.

I found a possible solution of switching to ART (instead of dalvik) in developer options. Not sure why this should work, but the tablet hasn't rebooted last day using this. Along with a factory reset (which hasn't helped), I have no real solutions. Next step for me is to reflash the default ROM again to see if this makes a difference.

Any extra tips would be appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidlosernoob:
So I'm running PAC 4.4.4 nightly and Matr1x 14 and some times when the phone reboots a dialog box will pop up saying that the Android system UI crashed, is that just a aide effect of it being a nightly? Also could I just flash PAC 4.3 milestone on top of 4.4.4 without any wiping? And when I'm in TWRP when restoring could I untick the system, then flash a ROM on top? Thank you!

if it were me and i was downgrading id just do a full flash it would reduce the chances of crashes or errors

I've been trying to create a boot animation for CM11 using the attached file, but it's not working no matter what I try. Anyone have any ideas?

I've put the file in both data/local and system/media and neither is working.

Running CM 11 M8 on an i747.

Also, I am aware that the image quality is low. I'm just trying things out for now. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper67857:
Try this... at 30fps with only 20 images and 2 cycles it would've lasted a whole 1.33 seconds... I slowed it to 10fps and loop till boot is complete.. Don't forget to set permissions to rw-r--r-- as well
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slicetwo:
Still no luck. I have my entire system rw in es file Explorer. The zip over wrote the one I had in there. Still didn't work. Just getting the generic android name glimmering thing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper67857:
Needs to be rw-r--r-- on the zip itself ... Just rw on the directory won't suffice... I always get that android logo when I forget to fix the permissions and es always changes them when I overwrite

One last question, if you don't mind. I recreated the whole thing so that it'd be the resolution of the phone. The only thing I changed was the pixel dimensions in your txt file. Now, however, the boot up is just a blank screen. Any chance you may know what's wrong with the attached one? Is 1.83mb to big for a boot animation?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper67857:
You zipped the whole folder... As in when I open the zip there is a folder called bootanimation... The part0 folder and the desc.txt should be at the root of the zip

Idk.. I re-edited the desc.txt in an app that I know works without jacking up the encoding (droidedit free) and zipped it up with an app that I know works (rar for android)... I had the same issues the other day trying to zip one up with ES file Explorer, rom toolbox, and 7zipper, all with compression set to 'store only' ... Only rar for android would work

[Android Themes] existz:
No prob! I still dont know what caused that, but regardless its now fixed.

Possibly...Ive been working on some new switches. If I can get it how I want, then ill probably change them. But I still need to work on them some. This next release will probably be more just system apps updated (ie, Ive 'minted' DeskClock and Calendar, although Calendar still needs some tweaking) pics are on my G+.

I'm not that biggy themer but in the past I've themed, modded and also cooked for similar devices and OS's. Maybe I can help U whit that.:)
[Android Themes] existz:
In the action bar there's a small calendar drawable with the current days date in it (the gray "17" in the screenshot).. I've been through almost every color in calendars colors.xml, styles.xml, drawables..etc, nothing seems to be changing it. I've also got the color code from a screenshot in GIMP and there's only 2 with the same one, and both does nothing (#ff777777). So its either labeled something totally off the wall that's semi-transparent and its not configurable by itself, or I've overlooked it.
[Android Themes] icke:
In your pic the icon around today number what was the color code?
[Android Themes] existz:
The icon is actually just a semi-transparent drawable, it hasn't been changed.

Theres a lot of good and tough cases for the Nexus 5... just do a quick search on Amazon or Ebay and you'll find many. Personally, I use a Spigen Slim Armor.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kyoungs3:
I'd recommend the Seidio Convert case, because it is actually multiple cases in one (hard shell inside, soft silicone/rubber outer case, and the rigid shell skeleton to go on the very outside. So you dont have to use the thick protective case at all times, and if you want to throw it on you dont even have to take your phone out of the first case to do so, super simple and quick! And it even comes with a locking holster to boot

This is a tested and working Exchange Security Bypass that I am using on my AT&T LG G3. This mod should work on any variant of LG G3 that is running stock or AOSP ROM's.

All credit goes to the below developer, I was simply looking for a solution to bypass the exchange security policy that required me to have a password or pin on my lockscreen. After several tests using Xposed Framework and other APK's I came across this and it works flawlessly. You can see the developers thread here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1965468

DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible if:

• You get caught by your employer and are punished in any way

• This bricks, breaks, scratches, dents, misplaces or cracks your phone

• This security bypass leads to any negative outcome.

USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I have rooted my phone and used Root Browser to perform the following steps (You can use ADB as well, please follow the guide in the link above).

Instructions:

1. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR STOCK EMAIL (LGEmail.apk & LGEmail.odex) - Copy and place it in another folder incase anything happens and you want to revert.

*Stock LG Email is located in system/priv-app​

2. After your make a backup, delete the stock LGEmail.apk and LGEmail.odex files

3. Download the files attached to this post and put them in the system/app folder

4. Change the permissions of the two new APK's (Exchange2.apk & Email.apk) to rw-r-r (DON'T FORGET TO DO THIS)

4. Once the 2 files (Exchange2.apk & Email.apk) are placed in your system/app folder, click on them and install

5. That's it...close out of your root explorer, open your new email app and set up your exchange account. :good:

I hope this helps users who are looking for a solution to their exchange security issues like I was. Enjoy
[G3 Themes and Apps] hello00:
btw u can only do this if u are rooted..for those who arent dont even try it
[G3 Themes and Apps] GroovyGeek:
It should not be necessary to delete the LGE apps, the two can work side by side. And if you are set on disabling the LGE app it is probably better to freeze it with TBU than delete, in case you change your mind later.

Those contemplating the use of this mod should keep in mind that the LGE stock email app is FAR, FAR, FAR more intelligent than the stock KK email app when it comes to autoconfiguring your Exchange connection. In fact I recommend running the LGE stock app first, then going into settings and taking a screenshot to document how the account was configured. You will almost certainly have to enter this information manually into the KK app because it will be unable to figure it out on its own.

Why not just edit data\system locksettings.db ?
[G3 Themes and Apps] crazyagg:
Because I'm nit sure what to edit, I've always just used a hacked APK. Please feel free to shed some light though and provide a little more detail.

[G3 Themes and Apps] canecbr600:
Go to data/system and there is a file locksettings.db. Open it in SQL editor. Next tap on locksettings, and u should have a item listed as lockscreen.password_type . Change the value for this to 0. That will change lockscreen to swipe to unlock.....
[G3 Themes and Apps] crazyagg:
I'm assuming I'd need to set up exchange first and once it enforces the password lock I'd need to modify the file? I would assume when adding an exchange account it would change change that value.

One odd thing is happening. I have root explorer installed and from that application, I browse to the location where the locksettings.db file lives. However, when I click on the file and the "Complete Action Using" pop up window comes up, I don't see SQL Editor as one of the choices there. Alternatively, I thought I'd just open SQL Editor directly and try to edit the file in there; this does not work since SQL Editor has not been granted root access.

Anyone know if there's a way to grant a specific application root access?
[G3 Themes and Apps] bjc112:
You should be able to add it through super user or reopen a few times to get the root prompt.

If you don't have root you can download MailWise from the market which has exchange bypass (See their FAQ http://www.mail-wise.com/faq/ )
[G3 Themes and Apps] kobbz:
I must be dumb or something cause I've force stopped and restarted SQL Editor a countless # of times as well as rebooted the phone but it still won't prompt for root access.

How do I use Super SU to grant root access to an app directly (not through the prompt method)?
[G3 Themes and Apps] bjc112:
Change the default authentication to grant instead of prompt and see if it let's it by.
[G3 Themes and Apps] kobbz:
Yeah ... no dice :(. I'm going to uninstall and re-install SQL editor see if that helps toggle the request for SU perms

EDIT: This did not result in the expected different outcome, in other words - the application still cannot get root access.
[G3 Themes and Apps] bjc112:
Sure you have root??

So I'm experiencing buyer's remorse with the M8. I'm thinking I should return my M8 and grab the Nexus 5. I've done all the research and the read all the things and understand that the M8 is better in many (almost all) ways than the Nexus. But it just doesn't feel right. I'm not going to go into the reason why I got the M8 initially.

My subjective M8 negatives:

It is rather long for my hand

The rom support is severely lacking

The camera is sub-par for the cost

I hate OEM GUI's

I really hate loathe abhor the power button on top

With T-mobile, it's much easier to pay off a $350 phone and upgrade than a $650 phone

Am I being too picky? Am I not happy with the features that come with the extra $300 that the M8 costs? Am I being too whiney and ridiculous?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] h3ck:
Sounds like you already made up your mind. I will tell you my buddy had the Nexus 5 and loved it for all the reasons you want it. He just recently learned one downside of it, signal strength. He went away and someone with a t-mobile s5 had LTE while he was limited to couple bars of 3G. So now he's electing to use his JUMP for a more carrier friendly m8 or G3. So there are tradeoffs, that's one of them. There are others depending on what matters to you.

Also, GPE conversion of m8 effectively makes the phone a Nexus phone. In the long run do what makes you happy.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] h3ck:
Like the post above shows, there is a respectable amount of dev for the m8. Just like there was for the m7. Thing is, sense 6.0 is so close to stock now that I haven't even rooted. I like the social network linking in contacts and smart features like the turn over to mute calls, etc. I think comparing dev to nexus is bad comparison because nexus phones are very much developer phones to begin with. You're comparing a high end phone to a high end budget phone. The Nexus 5 is a great phone but it's got trade offs. Let's put it this way, the Nexus 5 is the phone I'd own if the m8 didn't exist.

You may need to check your WI-FI calling settings. I turn it off if I'm not actually using it. But if I am I typically will set cellular network preferred or the other option.
