Got my Nillkin Crystal screen protector yesterday, took out the Moloco tempered glass screen protector and paste the Nillkin on. Well, definitely better. The glass isn't that bad but there are definitely some areas that requires a longer touch time before it respond. :)

Just got my Spigen GlasTR Nano Slim yesterday it feels great. No problems at all. It feels just as good, if not better, than the actual screen to me.
[G3 General] rfarrah:
I bought the Verizon one, too. Paid WAY to much for it. Should have got the .2 mm.
[G3 General] idelgado782:
I have the zagg tempered glass and sometimes on the lower right hand side I get dead spots . but not enough to make me take it off and try a different one. Maybe if this one cracks I'll try a different brand but I'm good with the zagg for now.

No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
[G3 General] sirthanh:
No problems here. I'm using Cailifu 0.22 mm glass screen protector. All touch functionality are working perfectly. The response is a lot better than the Xtreme screen protector that I had on. But the main benefit is the screen clarity is not affected by using this screen protector.

Since shealth won't open on a new phonem how can I use this feature?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Of course shealth will open on a new phone. It's only after some people mod their systems that they run into conflicts, typically with Xposed framework. I have no idea if any apps use the heartrate sensor, you should search the Play store as well as XDA to answer that.

[Defy General] spalnndsstest:
Hi, i am using 4.4 by quarks and the alarm does work but if you active the option to make something like "sleep 5 more minutes when turning the phone" it don't work,

i turn the phone up to down, down to up... nothing, it just dont work,

can anyone try it and tell me if it works for you or its another bug to solve?

by the way, isn't 4.4 working a bit slow? it even takes some instants to show the unlock screen,
[Defy General] spalnndsstest:
there is also another bug,

in the camera options, there is an option called "alternative shutter" or something like that,

its working in the oposite way,

when selected, the volume buttons cannot be used as the shutter button

when de-selected, they work to make the picture,

so its not working the correct way
[Defy General] hotdog125:
Works fine for me. The camera works fine too. 4.4 is quite fast for me. Most of us using 4.4 are used to the delay.

This is compiled from Nvidia's source using instructions found on this page Link

You need to have an unlocked bootloader and adb/fastboot.

Be aware this does not include any of nvidia's apps or google's frameworks/play store and is just plain android with no extras. (If someone can pull from their /system it may be helpful). I will try to add more later, but this should at least get any bricked tablets going until nvidia released a factory image.

______________Downloads_________________________________________________

Preinstalled

OTA0

_______________Directions___________________________________________________

Run flash.bat while unlocked/ screen on(if your computer hasn't been approved for adb yet), or while in bootloader.

Or flash each file in fastboot, instructions are in the nvidia link if you need more.
[Shield General] Gytole:
Fixed my problem with WIFI not turning on at all, but is there an easy way for me to install gapps? Playing the waiting game for the factory img sucks....but Without even the playstore this tablets a lemon! hahaha any help would be awesome
[Shield General] Keithn:
You'll have to root and push a gapps package into your root directory. We don't have a recovery unfortunately.
[Shield General] Gytole:
precisely...

yeah I normally just slap it in the sd card then boot into twrp and flash away but it's kinda hard at the moment. and even stock recovery is upside down and wont get past the android icon no matter the button combo. lol im SOL.

Pretty sure I received a Lemon Tablet though out of the box. Wifi Was really choppy, but then I factory reset it and wifi was just completely gone. but this reenabled the wifi...thank god. but no playstore/google account is a huge bummer! lmao

I appreciate the fast response though man! I'm not stupid with android, but dummy stock makes me scratch my head. I can throw adb commands all day but I just cant push install them for some reason...maybe im just rtarded
[Shield General] Keithn:
I had some issues just pushing too, try using these commands.

adb root
adb remount

(from inside the extracted gapps folder)
adb push system /system
[Shield General] Gytole:
WORKED!

Thanks man! Went perfectly smooth! I forogot about pushing the full folder like that. Havent had to do it inna while but yeah man it went smooth as day! Thanks! now to just wait for the factory img...lol

BTW do you know what I have to rename the tablet under about device to make it look as the shield tablet to the playstore? I was using grid when the wifi crapped but I cant use grid as it says my device isnt supported.
[Shield General] Keithn:
I'm not sure exactly what it needs to be changed to, if someone could get a dump of the stock rom it would help. I tried to see if someone could get me a dump, but I've had no luck yet.
[Shield General] Gytole:
I hear yuh. Yeah I'm no help onna dump at the moment. If somebody could post even a screen shot of their about tablet I can rename the stuff directly. I use ROM Toolbox Pro and use the build prop editor. You just rename the builds to the stock nvidia one and you should be golden as the play store reads it as stock nvidia android...I think...I had to do it with the kindle fire back in the day to make it look like a Nexus 7.
[Shield General] Keithn:
Yes, you should be able to change a few things to make it work. I think most of what you can se is cosmetic and you'll have to change the ro.build.fingerprint too if I'm not mistaken.
[Shield General] Gytole:
shield tabletiers

Hopefully someone who is rooted/stock is willing to send us some screen shots. I actually kinda prefer this build over the stock nvidia one...its a lot faster. Theres absolutely no lag...granted I use sd maid/unlocker, fstrim, and nova. But so far this rom has been great. And you cant beat that barebone feel of android! Although the nvidia optimizer is there its unavailable through the settings menu. You can tell how stuff is like in there but hidden. Theres pros and cons to both. I just need to get the right build props to make the playstore see this as the shield tablet. Youve been a great help bub btw I appreciate it.

It just sucks that my first experience with the shield tablet was a bad install of android out of the box? Thats the first time ive ever had a software related wifi failure. The only other time was eith my droid 2 back in the day. LOL

Btw Other Shield Tablet owners, this is the screenshot I need from YOU so i know what to change my props too. Im using rom toolbox pro, but the lite version allows adjustments too. All I need is the screenshot! Much appreciated!
[Shield General] Gytole:
thanks bud!

Thats what I needed! I'll punch it in and see what the playstore thinks!
[Shield General] Gytole:
Can you send me this one too? And youre on stock right? Like the Tablet came out of the box and you rooted?
[Shield General] dcaplinger76:
Yep, stock and rooted
[Shield General] Gytole:
Thanks man!

Your awesome for the shots! So far no luck but ill cha ge the prkps from your next 2 also and ill post back!

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

I noticed what was wrong, after changing like 20 lines, including the fingerprint which SUCKED! The one that I needed to change was the ro.product.build!

I had it, just by guessing at SHIELD TABLET, and while my gf and I were lookingat it I randomnly noticed that it was SHIELD Tablet, and not SHIELD TABLET! I REBOOTED AND IT WORKED!! YOU SIR, ARE AWESOME!! I appreciate the help!! And Keith, when you built the img's I noticed you put your name in them? You should just change that one line to SHIELD Tablet, and you'll basically have you're own rom with the playstaore recognizing your tablet as the Shield Tablet! Thanks guys, a million!
[Shield General] Keithn:
It automatically uses the user name @ PC name when you build from source. Good to know :)
[Shield General] Gytole:
Oh! No big deal! Your name is still all in it. Its just the one line, I assume, thats seperating the playstore from recgonizing it as the shield tablet! Lol
[Shield General] Gilbot:
This build has external sdcard issues. My 128 GB SD card shows as damaged, every other ROM with sdcard support (including stock) works fine. I'd love to be able to use a pure android build on the tab, any chance of making another build?

EDIT: seems to have issues with exfat formatted cards, works fine with sdcards formatted as fat32 ?

Wanted to know if it is just me

WHen I upload photos to facebook using the FB app, the quality loss is horrendous. I'm talking if I re download the posted photo off of a friend's wall, it is around 100 kb, resolution of 960x540 (although the photo on my phone is 2 mb), it looks like absolute ****, pixelated, not big enough (even when full screened)

has this happened to anyone? I have tried uploading to FB right from the gallery, and uploading from the FB app, same thing

Any ideas? Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hackweed:
Hello all,

Apologies if this seems like a really dumb question. I have been out of the rooting / rom'ing game for almost two years now. I miss the OG Droid days :(.

So I have an NC5 verizon S4 with the new towelroot, and I was thinking about flashing a google play edition rom. However it looks like my options are slim. From what I have read, my only option is a Safestrap compatible rom. If that's the case, I have some Safestrap questions regarding performance. From what I can tell, safestrap is almost a little like dual-booting a PC, and allows you to have multiple operating systems (ROMs in our case) on the same hard drive. Will having a GPE ROM on a device that still has the humongous stock rom and all of its crap slow down the new rom? In other words, I am interested in a GPE rom for speed and to have a fast and efficient system, and I fear that Safestrap will simply put more data and more megabytes on top what already exists.

I am probably way off with this assumption, and I am hoping someone can explain to me how this works before I make a decision I could possibly regret.

I am sick of touchwiz and all of its crap, and I am seeking a clean and fast GPE rom!

Thanks for all who reply!

I am on Hyperdrive 17.1 using Nova Prime launcher. Some Xposed framework mods. Hardly even recognizable as having TouchWiz as basis. As close to AOSP as you are likely to get unless the bootloader gets unlocked.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frozenbear:
Just want to say, I've been on the CarbonRom 6-30 nightly for a month now and I love it. It's extremely stable. Only problem I can find is the screen dimming issue everyone seems to have.

Having said that, I tried updating the the 8-04 build yesterday because newer is better right? (dirty flashed it...) And I thought all went smooth, but then I couldn't receive any texts. I could send sms, send and receive mms, make and receive phone calls, connect to internet, but my phone would not receive any sms. I flashed the backup I made and everything is good, but is this problem a problem with Carbon or a problem I caused? Anyone else have this issue?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
I think you should contact Samsung

If flashing a stock rom didn't fix your issue then you should get in touch with Samsung, they will send you a package in which you will put the items that they ask and send it off. I would also like to make sure that you didn't drop the phone or any type of water damage that may cause this issue.

If the phone didn't sustain and water damage or get damaged by falling then you should be entitled for a repair in the 2 year warranty of the phone.

Good luck!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
Good luck!

It doesn't matter if your phone is second hand, I simply called Samsung and explained to them that I had an issue with my device, they asked for the serial number and IMEI number. You should at least attempt to contact Samsung if that fails then you should look for an alternative solution.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] edufur:
So I went into a Sprint Server Center because my Galaxy S 5 had been acting up for the last couple of months. The most clearly observable problem is that the LTE signal was barely ever engaging anymore, and when it did, it would only get about 1 bar unless I was right next to a tower.

Anyway, the device had a variety of issues that a factory reset would not resolve. I have NEVER rooted this device.

Basically, the store techs told be that they believe me that there are issues with the phone, but since I didn't have the sprint service plan, that they would charge me $75 to return it to Samsung under warranty. What kind of customer service is that? I contacted Samsung direct myself and explained the issues. They gave me a shipping label and it is on its way for service. The only saving grace for sprint is that I was able to self activate my old S3 in the meantime.

ALWAYS keep at least one of your old phones laying around so that you can roll back to it as your own loaner while you wait for service on your real phone.

(Mod Edited to remove bypassed profanities.)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] mmark27:
Post "repair" your phone will still only show 1 bar of LTE unless you're right next to a tower. The S5, for some reason, is reporting any signal RSRP with a dBm of -100 or lower as 1 bar (down to -125dBm where the S5 will lose signal), even though this value (-100 to -115) is quite capable of holding/sending many datas. If you want a better readout, download the SignalCheck Pro app and have it display it's LTE bars in the notification panel. Then you'll have a better idea of your signal. This is something that I hope and wish that Sprint/Samsung fixes for this exact reason you just posted.

If you don't have Sprint TEP insurance, never walk into a store with your phone needing help. That's just how it goes. Without TEP, they won't do anything for you.
