please include audio.r_submix.default.so

I am using slimkat as my daily rom, everything works great, thank you for this.

However I tried to install MirrorEnabler-v6.apk so I can enable "screen cast" as per here:

http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193

But it seems there's a missing feature that could be added to this rom, by adding audio.r_submix.default to

the product_packages in the device.mk file, as described in the thread linked above.

Please let us know if there's any chance to include that in this rom, so we can finally use "Screen cast" from this great phone.

:good:

A great big thanks

This is a great ROM and I love everything about it.

Also: HDMI works, so that's awesome

And: reboot to recovery NOT booting to recovery is common on the XT910 (isn't it?) so it's alright

:mad::mad::mad: I am mad as hell.

I wanted to enable Google Now but in Google Settings I receive the message "Google Now requires location services which are not available".

Googled, found several "hacks", great. I tried the one where you unistall updates/disable Google Play services, etc... and I get the message to activate Google Now, but when I choose so and login with my email I get "This account is not eligible to use google now".

I tried this with 2 different gmail accounts, always get the same message. There are no info on Google about this problem.

Anyone has any idea how to enable google now? I need it, I love it, and I think I am going to break my nexus 5 if I can't have it.

By the way, I am on the latest developer L build (didn't work on 4.4.4 too, I kinda updated only because of the hope that it may work on L).

Also, on my Nexus 7 (2012) google now works great although I am using the same gmail account.

Any help is appreciated!

Uhhhhh.......

Turn on location? Why don't you try that and report back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmall1441:
Read the first line of the original post...

Google Location services are not available in all countries (which is fine) but Google Now shouldn't explicitly need location services. Location services are not available in my country and Google Now still works with no problems on my Nexus 5 and worked on my Nexus 7 (2013) before I updated to the L Developer preview (using the Play Services - Uninstall updates trick) and still shows me location weather information, appointments, news updates, delivery updates, time to work.home, time to get to the location of my next appointment, etc... all without being able to enable location services. I don't understand why Google would limit their service when it clearly works with no problem but has no problems pushing out beta apps to everyone which clearly have issues (new hangouts desktop app).

The Play Services trick did not work on 5.0 for me either. If I do find a way around it I'll let you know.

UPDATE: Managed to get it working with the following steps:

1. Logged out of Google search app

2. Uninstall Play Services updates

3. Connect to a Free UK VPN (I used this: http://www.bestukvpn.com/)

4. Ask Google to remind you of something and select the opt in to Google Now option

5. Go through the steps to enable Google now.

6. When you get the "This account is not eligible to use Google now" click on search bar and search for anything

7. Open the hamburger menu while in search (click on the menu icon or slide from the left)

8. You will notice that you are not signed in. Select sign in and select your account.

9. Viola you will get the opt in to Google now option again and you should then have Google Now

That's what worked for me. Ask Google to remind you of something to make sure its working. Hope this helps :).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljesh:
Doesn't work for me. After the 8th step I never get to the step 9. I sign in, get back on the home screen and never again get asked to opt-in to Google Now :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirMatin:
Damn ...

I have the same problem ...I even made 3 more accounts but still not eligible...

But my brother made an account and is using Google now ...??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmall1441:
Did you try creating a reminder using Google Now after the 8th step. Make sure you are still connected to the VPN. You have to open chrome after connecting to the VPN to verify the connection. A simple search should bring up a window to accept the VPN terms and conditions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljesh:
I am connected to the VPN, I can confirm by searching for my IP, it says I got a London IP.

After the 8th step when I try to create a reminder (remind me to thank johnmall1441) nothing happens... in fact, the program closes itself like it was killed. I don't have another device currently to record the screen and show what I am doing and what happens...

Location Services

Hi all, this morning I went into Google Search settings and I could finally enable Google Location Services. This is what was blocking Google Now. With it enabled you shouldn't have to jump through hoops to opt-in. Try checking your location services settings in the Google Search app :). They may have enabled it for a number of new countries.

Quick Tip: If the opt-in screen doesn't show up automatically, sign-out and sign-in in the Google Search app. Hope this helps.

Ok I managed to do it without hard reset!!! Here is what I've done

0. Remove SIM, add VPN (BestUK VPN) connect to Wifi ( Turn of location )

1. Log out from your Google Account

2. Uninstall Google Play Services / Play Store / Google Search updates and delete Data

3. Then open app drawer go to Google Settings and Search you should be able to switch Google Now (ring)

4. After adding your account it may say: Your account no eligible ... bla bla bla .... Then just go again to Google Settings Account & Privacy and sign out from there

5. Open search app search for anything just so the menu pops up ( 3 lines on the left lll ) and select your Account and MAGIC , Google Now pops out press I'M IN

It worked for me ... Remember to delete Data from those apps and log out from account otherwise it won't work

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] شیرخدا:
A new method for anyone with trouble to try out

I've been trying to get Google Now working and by combining different methods I was finally able to do it. The method that worked for me was:

1. Enable developer options and within the developer menu enable 'Allow Mock Locations'.

2. Download a GPS faking app the one that I used was Fake GPS Location by Lexa. Set that up for a location that you know works with Google Now.

3. Using Google maps or anything else that uses GPS make sure that the location had been faked.

4. Go to settings and turn location off (Sounds odd after all the hassle of faking a location but it seems that it's necessary).

4b. Remove sim card (If Applicable).

5. Sign out of the Google Search app.

6. Clear Data and Cache for Google search and Play Services. (No need to uninstall updates).

7. Go to the Google Search app and search for something, the three dots should appear click on them and sign in again.

8. Fingers crossed it should work for you.

9. Turn off mock locations and disable developer options if you wish.

Tested on the Oneplus One and Nexus 7, both running Android 5.1.

Using this method there was no need to wipe user data, be rooted or even uninstall an update.

I hope that this will help someone else.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] oldblue910:
I really like how Sprint installs the vast majority of a device's bloatware after you set up the device. It means you can simply uninstall it and it's actually gone. It's not just disabled or frozen. I understand the business reasons behind bloatware and of course I'd prefer it not be there at all. That said, since it isn't going away, I wish all carriers would adopt Sprint's method rather than cluttering up the system partition with it. Thoughts?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Itchiee:
Agreed. I've been with them awhile now and they are really easing up on it recently.

I guess this helps them get the product out faster since they don't need to bake these programs in the ROM anymore.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] UPSGuy:
The most recent update I received (I've had like 3 of them already) pushed the additional bloatware, but when I try to uninstall it, it doesn't give the option. Can't wait until we can root this thing.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Itchiee:
We can, the T Mob version works, but I would proceed with caution afterwards since we don't have a ROM image to flash if things go south.

I've just been tweaking stuff... Until I can actually remove it and not worry.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] oldblue910:
I was able to uninstall everything except Lookout, Sprint ID, and Sprint Zone. We are talking about all the extra apps installed by Sprint. This doesn't apply to the additional Samsung apps.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] UPSGuy:
How many people have successfully used the t-mob on the sprint note 4?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Itchiee:
Me, and two others.

It does break system updates but we'll have downloadable roms soon enough.

Yeah, realized after I posted it and edited post.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kul_dood:
I can't uninstall or freeze Evernote either.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] oldblue910:
Evernote is an app that Samsung preinstalls. It's highly integrated with S-Note, which is why you can't disable it. Same with Flipboard.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] gpvlog:
Just the same as carrier branding on sprints phones... there is little to none. I like it that way. I dont go walking down the street, see someone with a huge wart of a verizon logo on the phone and say to myself, "im getting Verizon". Its rediculous that carriers have to put their big old stamp on otherwise beutiful hardware. Same goes for software. I dont see the point in 20 apps that simply take you to the carriers website. Sprint has its share of bloat but its not nearly as bad as others.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] oldblue910:
Agreed. When it comes to bloatware, AT&T is by far the worst. I owned their Galaxy S5 and there were 17 apps that were specifically installed by AT&T. They even preinstall an app called ReadyToGo which replaces the standard welcome/setup screen (when you turn the device on for the first time) with one that's got AT&T's brand all over it. That's just obscene.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jauger:
I'm shocked at the lack of "bloat" on this phone. Almost all the Sprint apps are easily uninstalled, but what gets me is the lack of Samsung apps. First time ever I don't have a Samsung folder full of their apps. I actually opened Galaxy App and installed a few just to see whats going on..........

I've tested out flex mail and can say that it's pretty good. I think the only thing which really stood out to me was the ability to choose which account you wish to reply to an e-mail through.

Explained: You have your activesync account which you use to sync your outlook e-mails with your PPC. But when you are on the road and want to check your mail you have an additional mail account called "Work", which allows you to send and receive your e-mails while you are out and about.

Now in the morning you download all your e-mails on your computer and sync your PPC, and while on the train you realize that there is a really important e-mail you want to forward on to someone, or reply to. Unfortunately with WM5, you couldn't do this, you would have to copy and paste or do something else. With FlexMail you can get a txt and forward it to an e-mail address, use an e-mail you sync via outlook and forward it on when your on the road.

The interface is a bit better also. If i was you i would download it and give it a try, it doesn't change any of your settings and you can just uninstall it if you don't like it.
