[Nexus 5 Android Development] hackahero:
Will games run on this version? I'm downloading 6
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
Ummmm, yes?

I've found pacman works very well
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hackahero:
OK just asking because they don't run on the Dev preview last time I ran it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
I haven't heard anyone say that games aren't working since I started on L.

A few games here and there that aren't art compatible yet don't work but that's about it I think
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Scallywag1:
Got a quick question. I know that pattern lock in L is messed up, any chance you guys have a fix?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
Here is a test for the screwy data in L

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0By0vn8iv_zrVMUZTb092SC1vdXM/edit?usp=docslist_api

Trying to isolate if it is a binary issue or bad configuration from the preview
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
I don't think that is fixable even if we could push aosp in place of it because it is part of Google's closed source L code and trying to fix that even with smali would be highly difficult
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Scallywag1:
Had a feeling. Worth a shot though. Pattern will have to do, just would rather pin.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
I installed an AOSP test ROM for [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] and had the same problem. All my data was copied to a "0" subdirectory and I thought my simulated "SD card" had been formatted, but when I tried to restore from a backup it ran out of space almost immediately. So I poked around and found it under the new "0" directory, then copied the contents off to my PC, deleted everything on the "SD card" and copied it back. For some reason I couldn't just delete the new directories in root and move the old ones back from the "0" directory and I'm guessing that has something to do with my using the MTP interface.

This article from the TWRP website probably explains it better:

To answer your original question, this ROM will definitely not create a new "0" directory. :good: Make sure you are using a current version of TWRP.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
What do you mean? Screwy data?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
We are trying to trace down the MMS, VPN, static IP address, tethering not functioning correctly, and apns being screwy.

I believe they are all tracing back to the same bug and we are just trying to track it down
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
I seeeeee. I thought you was referring to data connection in general. I was gonna say I've not noticed anything. Lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
There is something screwy going on in general and I intend to find it
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ekowanz:
I got data on and off with b5.9.. But not in this b6.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bsm471:
I've been getting some data drops every now and then, didn't happen on earlier builds... I can't seem to trace down the problem yet... Can't reproduce when I have time to look
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
We are using newer qcom qcril binaries which is the radio software so that might be the cause
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
Stock kernel and radio?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] LNJ:
MMS works great for me with wifi on. On Rogers!

[Nexus 5 Android Development] stefanthehuman:
I must ask you, did you alter any settings or change anything?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] LNJ:
No. Just made sure APN was correct in both Hangout and mobile network settings.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
Did anyone try the data test zip last night?

I got one person telling me that apns were correct finally on boot up and MMS worked no problem
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Can I dirty flash? Im on the Full build. The zip is 377 MB. Is that the correct zip?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Does Rogers provide any software to allow the Nexus 5 to support voice calls over WiFi?

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
Yes it is but test builds are slim ones
[Nexus 5 Android Development] LNJ:
Not that I know off. If they do, I don't have it.

Afaik wifi calling was only available on Blackberry!

[Nexus 5 Android Development] automaddux:
I'm guessing that's why my MMS on AT&T isn't working. Tried using evolvesms which let's you define preset VPNs but it still won't work. Hopefully y'all will find it soon.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] flightsimmer:
I just installed it and tried tethering again. No luck. I still couldn't get an IP address from either USB or Wireless, even with toggling tethering multiple times.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
I'm thinking this is what is causing the bug http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ess-network-switching-easy-wi-fi-accessories/
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DigitalUnderground:
Idk... I think it's more of a hangouts issue because me (on at&t) with the APN that came preinstalled, hello SMS sends MMS just fine
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
But maybe that is how you are side stepping that though. Maybe hangouts is using the new connection manager multiple connections but what I am looking at is how it ties into other things
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ohad129:
Let me understand this rom is without radio?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
What's causing the tethering problem is that the default gateway is not available after the hotspot is active and a device is connected.

I tested with IP Tools and the traceroute is successful with a gateway address from the carrier when the hotspot is started but no device is connected (see screenshot 1) but isn't working once the DHCP server is started and the guest device is connected (see screenshot 2).

The script that was linked earlier attempts to repair that default gateway address but apparently is not always effective.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Since I'm not sure what your are asking, pick your answer:

1. There is no FM radio in the Nexus 5.

2. No Pandora or TuneIn like "radio" apps are pre-installed.

3. The Nexus 5 radio firmware is not included with the ROM.

I suspect you are asking #3 and if you want to change radio firmware you can find all of the Nexus 5 versions in this post.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
It just means it doesn't flash L radio as part of the process. The actual radio/signal works fine
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jsgraphicart:
I'm thinking of coming back to "L". Are you saying you have to go into ADB and flash the radio separately? I wondered the same after reading the OP and it said the "deb" version doesn't have a working radio. I don't know what the "deb" version is. I just downloaded the hammerhead one.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
The KitKat radio worked fine for me too (I'm on the L version now) but someone mentioned that Bluetooth control works better for them with the L radio firmware.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
Noo. Just flash the zip. All will be fine
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
If you are coming from KitKat on the Nexus 5 and want the L radio you will have to flash it using one the files in the post I linked above. If you previously installed the official L preview via the Google recommended method you should have the L radio firmware already.

The radio firmware can be flashed as a zip file from recovery or a .img file using fastboot from a PC with the phone in the bootloader.

Since deb doesn't have an official preview, the challenge there is to get its cellular radio working with the L port when the official preview for Flo (it's sister WiFi only tablet) includes no cellular support.

[MENTION=637262]Elisha[/MENTION] I can send mms just fine on sprint using textra but the issue is it cannot retrieve mms so incoming mms always fails....are u using the data zip? And if you are did u receive the mms u sent
[Nexus 5 Android Development] LNJ:
I'll test incoming later and let you know.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
I've used all the l preview ROMs and even 5.9 . the current B6 is the most enjoyable android experience I've had. And there have been a whole lot of good ones over the years. I was having some radio problems but all seems to have been straightened out since I flashed the L preview radio. Is the official release going to be this fluid?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] likonvampire:
First time user coming from L preview to B6 and must say I am thoroughly impressed. On a side note : does have a working app locker working on Android L , I have already tried smart app protector ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
I don't think any of them are up to L yet to be honest
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
From what I have been hearing, it should be. The only thing I see really slowing it down is that it is going to be extremely locked down with selinux and that does bog the system down quite a bit if it isn't properly configured
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
You'll have to ask Google that. It would be nice to get some feedback from developers that have more current releases but they are most likely under a non-disclosure agreement which prevents them sharing that information.

Sounds like another opportunity for [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION]. ;)

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
Now that I have played with it so much and researched the crap out of it, selinux isn't all that difficult to me anymore.

I was actually gonna do a write up about it this weekend and share some interesting things about it and what it means to developers and users
[Nexus 5 Android Development] likonvampire:
Just wanted to share this with fellow B6 users , just tried flashing a kitkat flashable font zip on this and works good.

Not sure of the lock clock , but i dont mind it :)

Thanks again OP for the awesome work
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
Man, you gotta get up pretty early on a Saturday. Me, I'm sleeping in
[Nexus 5 Android Development] likonvampire:
Lol its 4 PM here , that 9 AM alarm is just a reminder that I have to wake up in another 2 hours at least [emoji1]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
I'm in the same time zone as you and that is still early to me. I'm just waiting on my buddy to come bring me his truck so I can pick something up for him tomorrow then it is nap time and then work on this project all night
[Nexus 5 Android Development] likonvampire:
Are you battling the WiFi tether all night on a Friday night ? [emoji33]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
I hope not.

We have a WiFi tether app tested and working to do that as temporary alternative. With a shortcut on the desktop it's actually easier to use than the built-in hotspot.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
Eh, looking at several different things
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
Temporary solutions are just that though. I needs to fix it!!!!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
We have a number of temporary solutions already:

1. Koush's clear all notifications app.

2. DT2W instead of remapping the volume buttons.

3. Screen off apps since Xposed Framework is not available yet.

4. Alternate apps for MMS issues.

5. Reboot apps since there is no extended power menu.

6. WiFi hotspot tethering app.

I probably missed some, but my point is that there is no shame in workarounds for a beta preview ROM. AFAIK Bluetooth audio+handsfree for car systems is the only issue without a workaround at this point.

Most if not all of these issues will be addressed by Google or other developers by the time L is officially released. But if you have the time to spend fixing them I'm sure that will be appreciated by the users of your preview ROM's.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
Well it seems now I do have the time since I don't have a job to go to anymore :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jsgraphicart:
I like your attitude. :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paztine:
Thanks...

Thanks for this wifi tether app...it works on my end...whatever works..I am not picky when it comes to this L2 preview so smooth....I dont wanna go back to the past..I want the latest and greatest...Thanks again guys...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
That's my attitude too. :highfive:

With everything working (even with a workaround) that I need on this ROM it's really hard not to use it as a daily driver. :good:

[MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION], what happened to the creative approach and thinking outside the box? Finding alternative(s) like the WiFi tether app can sometimes be better than solving the original problem(s).

It might be better to focus on the issues like Bluetooth for car audio systems and static IP addresses that don't currently have workarounds.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
That is thinking outside the box. Fixing one thing has fixed other things before and chasing the bunny might get me there too
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brozef:
Hi guys, i have little problem with flashing this rom. I am on ofiicial l preview from google. I always got an error, in cwm i got "set_metadata_recursive some changes failed status 7" and in twrp i got "unable to mount system". I was using cwm 6.0.4.7 and twrp 2.7.1.1. I tryed multiple times reflash l preview image, download rom, checked md5 and nothing helped. i was googling for hours and im tired of it, so i would love if someone can help me, thanks
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mosd:
Check that you have the latest bootloader
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brozef:
i have flashed factory image including bootloader, so i should have it, is hhz11k latest one?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Please download this app from the Play Store, display the simple view which shows the information for the system and data partitions, and then post a screenshot here. I want to make sure your information matches the standard configuration since TWRP is having a problem mounting the system partition.

If you can do an "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log recovery.log" after the flash fails while still in TWRP and post that file as an attachment that would also be helpful.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brozef:
i cant get adb working on my laptop so i cant send you log
[Nexus 5 Android Development] psycho693:
Hey try reverting back to the 4.4.4 factory image I know the boot loader doesn't show anything has changed in the L preview but I have had your same issue and what I said fixed it for me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brozef:
thanks, im going to try it, will report later
[Nexus 5 Android Development] psycho693:
OK yeah please let me know. If it doesn't we will need to get adb working on your laptop
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
It looks like you may have something messed up with your partition information table (PIT). A screenshot of that same display on my Nexus 5 is attached and you are missing the system (OS) and data (Apps) portions. :confused:

I agree that it is worth another try at flashing the factory image. To be as clean as possible I suggest downloading the latest 4.4.4 kitkat image for hammerhead if you don't have that already, then flashing it using the "flash-all" procedure documented at the top of that page.

Edit: Here's another post that might help if you can get ADB working again.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brozef:
so i did it already, reverted back to 4.4.4 and same error with both cwm and twrp, really dont know whats the problem, i had no problem with 4.4.4 and paranoidandroid and cm. im going to try get adb working
[Nexus 5 Android Development] daniel84cs:
Try a factory reset you will see that solve the problem .... :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brozef:
i always did factory reset before flashing
[Nexus 5 Android Development] psycho693:
OK try using an older version of twrp then wipe all except internel storage
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brozef:
is this that log what you wanted?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
I think he meant the factory reset in the settings menu.

no problem here :) use TB to restore all data and app files, but generally, and still problem with TB, is that some apps do not act the way they should be, and those app should be downloaded to PS :)

i.e., tapatalk push notification will not work if restored from TB.

what version of TB you used?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hipojarty:
1.2.3, from PS :) not aware of the Beta program though

The "erasing" probably included reformatting and verification of all your partitions since it looked like things were pretty messed.

Is there any solution to get extanded power manu and screenshut please help
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Current workarounds are QuickBoot for the advanced power menu and Screen Off and Lock for screen off.

Screen Off and Lock can be configured to activate instead of Google Search by swiping up from the home button.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ohad129:
What about screenshut? Also the quickboot its of is own button not like xposed put it over the power button manu?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Screen shut is the Power Off and Lock app.

Xposed Framework is not compatible with L yet so you are going to have to use some alternative apps that may not be as convenient as KitKat with Xposed.

If the workarounds aren't acceptable you will need to stay on KitKat until Xposed is updated for L, which may be after its official release.
