[General Questions and Answers] C_dog_1:
I am surprised, dismayed and disappointed to see this on an android developer forum. Perhaps you think the rest of us are mad - but the truth is that Apple, Microsoft and Google all have back doors into their operating systems. Apple and Microsoft are both America-based, and we all know what their privacy (non-privacy) is like. (or do we?) Google, since being bought from its original owner, has become part of the mega-corp flock. Google logs just about everything, and is also based in America. In fact, Google is the new Facebook of privacy violation. (Heard of a unique advertising ID?)

In fact, the governments of various countries employ hackers to come up with exploits of mobile phones. There are also zero-day exploits built in at government behest. This was shown in the leaked papers (I forget whether it was Snowden's lot or Assange's lot.)

If you have sensitive information, the only reliable way to store it securely is on a device which does not have any physical capability to connect to an external network wirelessly, and do not connect it to any external network physically.

This is why all big corp. and govt. research / secret systems are on a disconnected network. As in, they are physically connected within the building, but the building does not have external network communications.

Removable batteries are being taken off the market because they power the tracking capabilities of the device - even when you turn it off. If you didn't want your phone to track you, you used to be able to take out the battery. Now, if the battery is not removable, you have to leave your phone behind if you don't want to be tracked or potentially let others listen in on a sensitive conversation.

Sometimes when the network connection changes from H<>3G PowerAmp stops playing my music. The same happens to the stock audio player. I can reproduce this by just turning mobile data on/off but not always. Sometimes it looks like i can not reproduce it anymore until a few minutes later after exploring the settings app a bit it can be reproduced again. It's the same issue as described here. It doesn't matter if earphones are plugged in or not.

I have tried to disable certain apps like Google Play but it didn't help. Unfortunately i can not disable every app. Google Play Service for example can not be deactivated.

The only way to keep the music playing while i am on the move is to enable flight mode which is a really lame workaround. Is anyone else having this issue?

My phone is on stock, unlocked bootloader, with SuperSU and Adaway installed. Not sure if this issue was present before i unlocked the phone but i never saw this before and i was using it a lot for playing music while i am out.
[HTC One Mini 2] gibihr:
Using superuser with locked bootloader? If you didn't unlock your bootloader you can't have root > having superuser is useless :)

Poweramp: in advanced settings, audio, set buffer to highest level and see if it solves the problem... Same happened to me, and solved by changing poweramp buffer size
[HTC One Mini 2] FCKöln:
Bootloader is unlocked using htcdev. I only forgot to mention it correctly (fixed now).

I have already set the buffer size to 500ms. Everything below 500ms causes audio glitches on this device. Anyway, i tried changing the value without luck. I also enabled the wake locks in the advanced settings but it doesn't help. As i said, it happens with the default music player as well.
[HTC One Mini 2] FCKöln:
It seems that i have figured it out. I had an app called XBMC Music Pump installed which requrests the audio focus everytime something changes on the network. Most likely a bug... already contacted the developers.

I have done all the necessary steps to setup the bluetooth connection.

But when Dial, i get Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem?

Does anyone have any clue? The hardware should work because I can do it successful did it on my MAC OS X using bluetooth tethering..... but my work machines is Windows XP, SP2

ANY help would be greatly appreciated... thanks.

Hex, I was having the same issue, and after a couple hours of troubleshooting, I finally figured out that my specific BT drivers (BlueSoleil) on my PC require that BT DUN be on COM12. I was trying to dial out on COM9. Once I made my default connection COM12, I was good to go. Let me know if this helps or if you need some more help.

hi

sorry but i'm new on this

my brother has a Xperia S (Lt26i)

So, i would like to ask...

This ROM (AOSP) is possible to Install on the Xperia S with locked bootloader?

thanks so much

Ps: sorry about my english

Because you need flash the Modded Kernel maded especially to this KitKkat Android OS can work with it.. without it anything work's... And with this especifique kernel the rom dont have any random resets and bootloop =D

xperia s bootloader locked

i followed this page (i can't write a url)

search on google "unlock bootloader sony xperia s" and the Sony page result.

at the end, its said on the xperia S, "Allow to unlock bootloader = No"

something like that.

Who can unlock the bootloader? just Sony? or my phone company?

thanks both of you
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Ah, Since You have "Allow to unlock bootloader = No", You cannot unlock Your bootloader, and there is no possible way to unlock it. You can always try ROM built for locked bootloaders.

say that it seems the blue tooth does not work well because personally i have problems with my cars

every thing is ok from connecting to syncing contacts but there is no voice on calls just a i can hear

something like hummm and noises.

i didnt have this problem with stock rom.

and i had a hang while was on camera for a long period without taking a photo (just once).i dont use camera usually.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] johannesbrenner:
I can confirm this problem: listening to music via bluetooth works, but not handsfree.

I checked with a Sony MW600, an Arctic P311 and a Belkin Air Cast Auto.

When trying to make a call, only strange hissing sounds can be heard.

But there's another, much bigger problem with this rom:

After a few minutes of heavy usage (e.g. some websites, navigating with GPS) the phone freezes, the screen turns a strange yellow-red color and the phone reboots. It then enters a boot loop. Only after letting it cool for a few minutes will it start up again.

This happens from 0 to 10 times a day.

Apart from this, the rom is great.

Cheers,

Johannes

bluetooth problem

Hi

I love this rom - its so fast, but i have a problem with bluetooth and my jvc car unit. When i try to call by car unit i only hear noise - nothing else. I had this problem on AOSP 4.4.3 and on 4.4.4 also.

Have you any idea what is the problem? Thanks for your reply :). Your work is great.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] johannesbrenner:
I found a possible reason for the frequent crashes. The CPU was overclocked to 1,8GHz by default. I never changed the clock speed and only found out after installing Setcpu.

At 1,6GHz the crashes have stopped.

Is that behaviour intended or a bug?

Cheers,

These are all from Lollipop. I have them all running on Bad Boyz Rom.

Edit: I thought these were signed because they installed just fine on my device. It would seem I was wrong. You will have to uninstall the original and install this to get it up and running in some cases.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] natemup:
Any way to confirm these are safe? I'm getting an error about "conflicting signature".
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thisguy81:
As far as I know they were pulled from the Lollipop build, but other than that, no. I have them installed on my device and they are running great. I think they have a conflicting sig to keep unrooted peeps from installing. you will have to uninstall the old app and install this one to get it up and running. I believe you had to do the same w/ the keyboard app too.

I installed keyboard without uninstalling (with some added .lib files). I just want to be sure before I install them.

Newbie Autodroid summary and Nexus 7 car solutions in general

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post, but I'm trying to do a Nexus 7 in dash head unit replacement and I have some questions.

First, a little about myself. I'm an Android (and XDA) newbie, first post, but I have some programming experience (C and some assembly). I am rapidly learning about Kernels, ROMs, etc. I try to learn as much on my own as I can so I won't be a pain here. I know wiring, and am an electrical engineer.

My problem is this; I need a solution to allow the Nexus 7 to OTG charge, or maybe it's possible to use the side dock connector for charging? If I OTG charge, I read that Autodroid may not support that, but Oxydo does? I could really use a source of information (youtube video etc.) so I could learn how to make this work.

And, for that matter, how to program my Nexus. I've seen how to root it, and I think I can do that, but then should I flash it with Oxydo kernel and then Autodroid ROM?

Any help would be greatly appreciate. I'm trying to get this up for myself and for my 17 year old son's truck. Also, thanks for all your sharing of code and help!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old Guy:
Autodroid supports Otg charging as is.

What I would do is go to the play store and download MuliRom manager.

This will make it easy to set up MultiRom.

Multirom lets you install and uninstall multiple roms without messing with your stock rom.

Hope this helps

USB issues

Ok I have been running autodroid for a few weeks. So far it is good. I am having a few issues though with it.

Has anyone been having issues with charging since adding this ROM. Although it is charging it doesn't indicate that, so otg doesn't work. It can't see any usb attached items and such.

My setup includes a Behringer usb dac uca202. Although I plug the dac in the hub (sometimes without the hub) and reboot the devices from off I still get not response; the dac light does not light up, sound still comes out of the tablet speakers. Can Anyone using this setup help me figure this out or at least put me on the correct path

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kman9:
Thanks! That's an interesting idea. I may try that. Are there any disadvantages to this approach besides the extra storage space (which seems like it wouldn't be that big of a deal?)

I just rooted the device, so it's fresh and ready.

On the other hand, I found someone with Timur's ROM, so I have two options now. Autodroid seems a little more up to date, but I'm not sure. Maybe it's just a preference?

Thanks for your help. I know a lot about a lot of things, but in this area, I feel a little like I"m walking around blind! I'm just trying to learn as much as I can.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old Guy:
I don't see any disadvantages and the storage space is minimal.

With MultiRom manager you can also remove the rom as easily as you installed it.

It has a multi boot feature on startup so you can run your stock rom or any other roms that you have installed.

Autodroid is a rom and and Timurs is a kernel. With the Autodroid rom you will have a lot of features which are geared toward an in car installation.

If you decide to use Autodroid don't install it like they show in the op.

There is an easier way to do it using MultiRom.

Advice please

Can I plug in a FIIO D3 into a powered Anker USB hub. I have tried 2 behringer UCA 202 and both connect but no sound from either. I have read the USB ROM tutorial and I know that I must turn the devices off them mount the dac and turn the device back on, but still I get no sound. Help me
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kman9:
That sounds really cool.

I know Autodroid is a rom, but I thought Timurs is a kernel and a rom?

Autodroid can be had at the play store if you sign up to be a tester. I wonder if this is a different version, or I guess somehow it's changed into an app?

If I use multirom, how should I install autodroid?

Thanks so much for your help!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old Guy:
Kman9

The first thing is to get MultiRom Manager installed and working and then we will go from there.

When you have installed the app and opened it you will see a box that says install/update.

If the first two boxes match what is in the status box above this you are ok, if not check these boxes.

If you see a warning in the status box about the kexex hardboot patch, check the third box and in the drop down menu pick which version of Android you have,

If you aren't sure of which version you have, on your tablet go to setting about tablet and it will show the version.

Tap install and follow the directions.

When this is susessful we will go to the next step

Hello,

i have a Strange Problem with my autodroid System.

In the Power Settings, it is not possible to set up the FI Option.

Everytime i change these setting, it goes back to off.

Because of this Problem, i checked the Autodroid installation an did a new, fresh install.

Changed the OTG Cable and the Power Adapter.

Nothing changed this :(

I tried again an older 4.2.2 Rom, here workes everithing perfecly with the same OTG and Power Adapter.

Because of the 4.4 Android, i would most likly use Autodroid.

But without a solution for this Problem, i could not use it in my Car.

Rear View Cam

Hi,

I posted this in the ROM-thread before, but got informed to post it here in the Q&A thread instead, so it's kind of a double post.

Tried to search the thread but didn't really find the answer, but does this ROM still rely on Carcam as the app to show the video feed from the Easycap, or did someone actually write a new app?

Love the work on this ROM, as I loved the Kangarom before it. This is going in the car, if I can just get the shaky Carcam to actually work after a deep sleep as well...
