[General Questions and Answers] RareHare:
I want the exact same thing that the original poster wants: a smartphone that is running

unrestricted Linux

.

What I DO NOT want is a smartphone that is "Linux-based", where the "Linux" designation is essentially irrelevant because the interface that is presented to the end-user significantly obstructs access to Linux for average users. In other words:

Who cares if it is "running Linux" if the average user using the phone cannot get to Linux without playing tricks with rooting?

Furthermore, I am NOT looking for a phone where I can use tools to get root access. I already know how to do that.

What I want is to be able to direct my NON-TECHNICAL CUSTOMERS to a website where they can buy these phones, many of whom are doctors and have ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER of rooting their phones, to be able to install my native C++ applications on them. In other words, I want a smartphone that is running Linux, unrestricted, and if it is running anything else, that other thing does not interfere with installation of true native C++ applications that have fully access to the device. My customers will buy these phones, and install my custom native C++ application onto these (extra) phones via my web site.

I already know about Ubuntu Phone and Tizen. Both of those are not what they claim to be. They are not truly open platforms, as regular users cannot install regular Linux applications willy-nilly as they can on a PC. Jolla claims to be better, but their phones are not sold in the USA.

I want an

unrestricted Linux smartphone

that can be purchased online by medical professionals in the USA.

Please do not respond by telling me that there is no market for this, or that I can rewrite my application in Android/Java, or that I can give 3-hour training classes to each of my customers about the joys of rooting, etc. :silly:...

Wakelock problems

Hi everyone! I am using CandyKat Rom. Does anybody "suffer" that when you press the screen turn on button ( I forgot what's its name) it does not turn on. Can anybody suggest what to do? It's the best rom, but I this irritates me. Thanks everyone. ????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
Wake lock

2 possible fixes.....

First you could disable HD overlays, I know that works

The other possibility could be Pollution patch. I have never used it as I haven't had the need. But I know many swear it will cure everything but cancer. The patch I believe is more of a Kit Kat cure all, not necessarily specific to Kandy Kat.

To the OP, due to the lack of development with our beloved but aging device, not sure it is necessary to create a Q&A here for the rom. Sorry, but I don't exactly believe that the thread is blowing up over there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AndroidNewbie :):
Thank you very much sir. Idk but a Q&A Bot told me that I should post my question here. But, thanks for this. ?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
I have no idea what or who Q&A bot is, I try to look up profile and it says "invalid".

If it is a rom specific question it is fine to post there. If it is a device specific question, I would take it here. There is not so much development going on here that the thread are blowing up.

If Mr.Bot was upset about my response, he would have surely had something to say.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gil81:
if u are having wakelock issues..the two possible fixes are as follows

1) set governor to wheatley.

2) check out my thread about an xposed module that helps with kernel panic related to system. Link

The issue the above member is referring to with hw disabling is the screen flicker...and yes. Disabling hw overlay will solve that issue,as will pollutions aroma patch or a simple build prop edit.

I use both the above fixes ( 1&2 ) and wakelocks are a thing of the past for me. As for the screen flicker. Most devs bake the build prop edits in now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] luck_shawn:
I'm not a dev, i'm just a flash junkie. if i knew what i was doing i would attempt to build it myself, but is it possible that the fast charge feature of the diablo kernel from the hellybean rom at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2457323 could be built into the uber kernel? am i posting in the right place? sorry if i'm not. i love this rom and have no bugs so far but battery life/charging time suck. thanks to those who put time and effort into doing something that makes me feel like an idiot. thanks in advance.

Hi ,, apparently I cannot flash anything yet.

I have Gingerbread with TWRP installed. I have tried a couple of roms but they fail.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AndroidNewbie :):
Hi there. You cannot flash kitkat roms in gingerbread. You should have the jellybean, you can do that by using kies. Note that you should also have cwm 6.0.4.3 and up to flash kitkat roms: )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VW_Factor:
Carried over from the Dev Thread.

Recently flashed this ROM on my Note. Very much enjoy it.

I have flashed the camera fix, stopped my cam from FC'ing. The camera takes great pictures. The recording delay while annoying is something I can live with, however.. It doesn't record anything. Acts like its recording, and such, but doesn't seem to write anything anywhere.

Any ideas?

Just installed CandyKat-quincyatt-4.4.4.release.v1.6.0-Official-20140922 on my note, but now the hard navigation buttons on my device do not work at all, and there is an extra navigation bar on the screen with the same functions as the existing buttons on the device. I found in the candykat options a checkbox to turn off the software navigation bar, but when I do this I still do not have any functionality with the real navigation buttons on my note.. How do I enable the real nav buttons?

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

ok.. more problems with nav bar: I tried to turn off the navigation bar in the candy interface options and reset the device to see if it would re-enable the hardware buttons, but now I cannot use the hardware buttons and trying to reenable the on-screen navigation bar does nothing. Clicking the checkbox for navigation bar and nothing shows up on screen. Also, in the same candy interface > navigation bar menu options, if I click the "Show landscape" checkbox it crashes the process com.android.systemui 100% of the time.

EDIT #3:

So I was going to try and manually edit the build.prop file to see if I can reenable my hardware keys, only to discover that this ROM does not support USB file transfer. The device charges fine when connected to USB, but does not even appear in device manager on my computer.. changing usb ports does nothing, enable/disable usb debugging on device does nothing.. also the device randomly freezes, shows a pinky-orange screen and reboots when going into the settings menu. This ROM is too broken, I don't know how anybody is using this. I'm going to have to switch to something more stable with working USB and options.

Just to let you know Microsoft research just announce this project.

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/analogkeyboard/index.htm

Now you can handwriting on Moto 360.

Video demo is http://research.microsoft.com/apps/video/?id=230860

Download is http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/3e3aaa26-804c-486e-b3d7-d394c733da90/

It is not APK but need bluetooth ADB to install. Detail install guide is in download file.

If anyone install and play it please let us know.

Or if someone can make a easy install package without involve adb command line maybe good.
[Moto 360] ChrisNee1988:
I tried it out. It works relatively well but the big problem is that there isn't really any apps that are designed to take text input. For example, in hangouts, you can only do voice reply and canned responses, there's no option to enter custom text to actually pull up the keyboard.
[Moto 360] darrenmc168:
Downloaded and installing now, wil report back after a bit of use !
[Moto 360] mmx6688:
Not sure is wear messanger for sms support it or not. I have it but install this package is too complex which I have issue on adb environment. Not sure is it possible to make a install package for phone to install.
[Moto 360] tlxxxsracer:
Nice find. the download link isnt working :(

I'd install this otherwise and report back if I could
[Moto 360] Jbuch84:
Link is back up for those that are interested. It's a real pain to install but fun to play with. There is no way to respond to texts with it or anything, completely experimental (from all that I have gathered). That being said, it's not too bad to use and pretty accurate!
[Moto 360] tlxxxsracer:
So it doesnt work with wear messenger?
[Moto 360] kevinlevrone:
I just installed it and it works quite well, it looks very promising but unfortunately it can't be used when replying to a notification such as a Hangouts or Whatsapp notification. You are still stuck with the voice or limited canned responses. I think it will work with any application that uses text boxes though. Hopefully the Android Wear 2.0 (or whatever version they will call it) which will be released on October 15 will bring some way to use the keyboard when replying to notification cards.
[Moto 360] pashka79:
Installed it yesterday work well work with wear messenger without problems

with xposed module i can answer to sms and hangouts

but this keyboard eat my watch battery

[Moto 360] just4747:
Can someone help? I am at the point in the instructions where my phone is connected via USB though ADB and have the bluetooth debugging on (and usb debugging on on both devices). But the command

Anyone know what I have to do to get that command to function?

Thanks.
[Moto 360] D-m-x:
Hey,

you have to seperate the command. First enter the first part until the semicolon and then the remaining connect prompt.

You sure about that? On my 360, when I send a test text to myself and choose the option to respond with Wear Messenger, it just shows a checkmark as if I sent something already but never lets me respond in any way, let alone type using this keyboard app.

Anyone else??
[Moto 360] pashka79:
Yes I am sure I send sms and hangouts without problems but now I uninstalled keyboard because it battery eater
[Moto 360] just4747:
Then why for me and others does it only show a checknark icon and then nothing happens, it doesnt let you input text when you try to reply to a hangouts sms with the 'reply with WM' option?

Can anyone else confirm? Because this works really well and I want to be able to use it..

Also, i cant imagine why this would cause battery drain. Wonder if its really due to it or not..
[Moto 360] pashka79:
Do you enabled keyboard and set it

Yes I choose an option answer with WM and after that in wm I have a mic icon in one side and keyboard on other and yes I actually answered with keyboard

Pretty damn good for a first beta. It does seem to use a little bit more battery, but I still have no issue getting through a full day.

Agreed! Nicely done beta! KB that actually works for a change and not needing to wait for minuum! lol Anyone know how to capitalize? Not a dealbreaker, just my ocd here lol.
[Moto 360] kevinlevrone:
What I am thinking when seeing this keyboard is that the Moto 360 screen is big enough to accomodate a full set of touch keys, and a "normal" touch keyboard, as long as the only things occupying the watch face are the keyboard keys and the line of written text. I just hope Google is smart enough to allow replying by keyboard in the next version of Android Wear (supposedly launching tomorrow).
[Moto 360] grtgbln:
Help installing?

First off, has anyone gotten the 2.0 update yet? Just curious. Secondly, could someone help me install this? I have adb working and a connection and all, but when I type the command to install (adb -s localhost:4444 install com.microsoft.research.analogkeyboard-Signed.apk), the command window doesn't freeze up persay, but no reaction and I can't type anything else in there. What's going on?
[Moto 360] D-m-x:
This process is taking longer as it works over Bluetooth. Leave it be, it will finish eventually but it might take a few minutes.
[Moto 360] johnus:
Mine took about 8 minutes to install. And 2.0 probably won't arrive until Lollipop is finished...Android Wear 2.0 runs on it.
[Moto 360] klau1:
This keyboard seems to require internet permission. This could allow Microsoft to collect all the data that is being typed into this keyboard.

[Moto 360] slaydog:
Is anybody still using this? Any updates?

Thanks
[Moto 360] Perpetual Flame:
I use it daily to reply to texts at work alongside Wear Messenger and I can truly say it is a godsend. Sometimes though when I write long messages, I press send and it doesn't go through and I'm not sure whether the issue comes from Messenger or the keyboard itself although I doubt it's the keyboard since I can read the message fine before sending it. Other than that, it works great and I love it! Funny how Microsoft developed and released a keyboard for Android Wear before Google did
[Moto 360] pa1409:
Does your phone have to be rooted to install this keyboard?
