[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus6R3plicant:
Really please put down the bong ...

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

Android is built using the Linux kernel and is open source ....that's the only reason that oems have to post up the source code etc ... but they don't have to unlock bootloaders etc and the drivers and other parts of the os like sense can be closed source ...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phalanx_x:
Oh.. ok... what would happen to me, as a independent Android OS developer, if I came up with something and then called it "Android Lollipop 5.0.1" ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus6R3plicant:
Nothing as long as you follow gpl .... you see how many versions of Linux are out there.... like cyanogen mod they only got a cease and desist from Google back in the begins for putting gapps in their roms ...which is why you have to flash the rom and then gapps when flashing aosp roms ....it's only the google apps that are closed source

But you could get a letter from their lawyer if they have copy write any of the Lollipop name etc
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phalanx_x:
So... Google owns the Lollipop 5.0 Android.. got it. So, why are carriers saying their version of Kitkat/Lollipop is "Pure"?? How can they get away with that?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus6R3plicant:
Motorola is the only one saying pure .... but is the closest to true aosp . Motorola puts very little on top of android and makes many optimizations to make it run better etc

Sony is kind of close also ... htc has sense , samsung is touchwiz , lg has their own ... its just a user interface on top of android and its the reason samsung devices always lag .
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
Pretty sure all the n6 devices will have the same hardware and have an unlockable BL, also since the hardware is all the same the code names should be the same, and as such the factory images from google should be flashable. Now if ATT goes the Verizon way and handles the n6 like the Gnex, than thats gonna be an issue.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt3:
The hardware is the same. So, even if the carriers bloat them up, you can simply flash the OEM images that Google releases. Now, if the carriers are allowed to lock the bootloaders, that may be a problem. I'm hoping that Google at least keeps that from happening., or someone like Geohot finds a way to break it. We won't know for sure though until the carrier versions are available and someone tries to unlock one of each.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk92595:
Moto is basically AOSP so calling it pure isn't a longshot
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A5HRAJ:
According to an Ars Technica interview, all Nexus 6 devices (even the Google Play version) will automatically install carrier bloatware during setup. The phone will detect which SIM card you're using, and download the apps that carrier wants on the phone. It's called "Play Auto Install."

At first this sounded appalling, but I realized it's actually a good thing. Thanks to this feature, carriers will no longer install apps in the System partition. You can uninstall their apps just like apps from the Play Store.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk92595:
If this is true, all you have to do it start the setup with a sim then insert it after setup.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eep2378:
This is perfect. Fastboot, FTW!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A5HRAJ:
Here's the except from Ars:

If you could avoid installing bloatware by inserting the SIM card after setup is over, that would be great — but I don't think Verizon would let that fly. Verizon would probably want their apps to be installed anytime their SIM card is used. It's not 100% clear what will happen until someone tries it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOMFW:
Yada, yada, yada!

You mention the word "Contact" as if you know what you are taking about and there is an actual "contact" between Google and the Carriers. There is NOT!

The carriers are free to do what they want and will.

Verizon will have bloat on this phone and updates will be delayed because of them. Of that you can be 100% certain.

I think you are confusing the word Contact with wishes. Which Google had a lot of these days.

The biggest of which is, that people will shell out $650+ for this phone. That "wish" is a pipe dream and is also Google's acknowledgement that they have officially given up on their plan "Wish" to ween Americans off of carrier subsidized phones.

To get this unit to sell without their normal "sell it at our near cost" nexus philosophy, they need the carrier subsidies. And to get them the carriers have carte Blanche.

The phone will be $199-299 at first, quickly be reduced to the ubiquitous ; one penny on contact, in mere months due to lack of sales.

Of course, googlerola will also reduce the 650 price many times as well, in their "limited time only" sales. Again, due to poor sales. But that's just a bonus.

Thanks to the finally "Un-Toy sized iPhone and the nexus 6 two month delay, Android as a whole and Googlerola in particular are going to have several horrible quarters.

In fact, it is highly likely that iOS is going to reverse or at least tie androids USA market share.

With the size advantage gone, which for many was the only reason to Not buy an iPhone.

Androids will have to resort to is only other benefit, which is cost. But with every USA carrier practically paying people to buy an iPhone, ($199 trade in, pay off early termination fees etc. Android is finding itself without even the price advantage anymore.

Any doubt's? Just look at Samsung's 50% profit drop
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aawshads:
Wow man, you sound a little bitter, who is it directed towards google or motorola? I know I will be more than happy to shell out the $$ for a phone as high quality as this, and until the carriers come out and show that they have added bloatware or locked the bootloader I am not going to spew venom. Something burned you in the past, but this is not the place to lash out.

This might be on some use in this thread:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOMFW:
A forum is exactly the place to say what I said. What you call venom is simply facts. I can't help if you don't like then.

But yes, I got burned on the galaxy nexus as many did and will again.

You say you are willing to she'll out $650+ for a phone? Glad to hear it, you are in the less then 1% minority.

Full priced nexus sales won't even amount to a rounding error on what will be Rounding error sales figures of the c arrier subsidized nexus.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOMFW:
Everything in that fluff piece article is wishfull thinking. Just because things are available, doesn't mean the carriers will use it or even care.

I can guarantee you the carriers wont use anything that will let a user delete bloat. Disabling it, is as far as they are willing to go. Allowing users to disable will make the providers of the bloat look elsewhere and that means $ to verizon and the others.

Verizon has no financial incentive to push out any updates and only does so begrudgingly or if they are absolutely critical.

Verizon claims, Every update must first be thoroughly tested by their crack testing team . Which, as we all know has a track record of Zero in finding and fixing bugs. They take as long as they want to while pretending to test the updates. Why would they or should they hurry? Every update I have had since the original Droid has had bugs or introduced new problems, so much for the testing!

This so called Google exec, who thinks the delays, if any occur from carrier testing will be only a few days if at all is delusional.

Most people point to the verizons super fast update on the original moto to 4.4 x as an example of how much better things are but neglect to mention the delay or total skipping of updates (4.4.1 and 4.4.3) since then. The reason it got 4.4 so fast was because the phone was built with it and was ready to be shipped with it at introduction. The reason it wasn't was because the Nexus 5 hadn't been introduced yet. So they stuck the older OS on it knowing that once the 5 was released they could push it through almost instantly.

But if you want to believe this article and all the others over the years that have said pretty much the same thing, go for it

Guys... It's a nexus... Root; delete bloat and flash custom roms with latest software..... Problem solved.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOMFW:
Yes rooting and the custom ROM root will get rid of Bloat - That's it!

Doing so will then introduce one to the fun of Never ending updates or flashing new ROMS all designed to fix what the previous update or ROM broke - No Thanks.

I went that route with my GNEX and Original Droid - Never Again. Almost daily I was Flashing, Upgrading, uninstalling - re-installing etc. I spent more time trying to fix problems than actualy using the phone. If Google released a Factory copy that had no Verizon Bloat, Couldn't be messed with by Verizon and everything on it workes perfectly on Verizon Phones, That might be a possibility, but, Back then anyway, it wasn't an option
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
Say what? ?

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Bloat was easily removed from the Gnex.

WC about official updates when so many tasty roms were available. The main thing was how to avoid OTA updates so Verizon couldn't keep screwing you over.

All the carryover anxiety from previous Vzw / Att harsh treatment needs to be put away. Whatever bloat they put on, I am confident will easily be removable.

Can't wait to get it!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Was just coming to post that myself. I am glad at least one carrier is using the new system. As much as I dont want their crappy apps, I would much rather be able to uninstall them whether I am rooted or not than have ATT force them into system apps where I have to have a rooted phone to get rid of them.

Sounds like you didnt even actually look into what ROM or kernel you were flashing then. Either way, why are you even on these forums? It is clear a Nexus is not even close to the right phone for you so go away and take your attitude with you.

In Android 5.0, Screen Pinning was added. It can pin apps, great

But it can't pin single photos.

How many times have you tried to show someone one of your photos, only to have them go through your whole album?

Photo Pinner solved that

Simply select a photo in your favourite gallery app, share it to Photo Pinner and press the pin button. Android will take care of the rest - you can even make it go to the lockscreen before unpinning!

Photo Pinner is totally free, free from ads, has a tiny file size and needs no permissions

It also supports basic pinch zoom features, and views in fullscreen

I bought this tempered glass screen protector-

Weili's Pro-Glass Premium tempered glass screen protector

A Pro-Glass is made with specially processed glass to protect Screen of the device from shocks and scratches. It is very effective in absorbing the impact.The Pro-Glass is transparent with silicon properties on the adhesive side. The static clinge between the Pro-Glass and LCD maximizes touch-screen sensitivity.

Features:

The Pro-Glass is perfectly transparent.

Oleophobic coating: Anti Fingerprint coated layer for resistance against smudges and fingerprints.

Surface Hardness: 10H(at the front written 9h)

Slim chemical treatment processed Tempered glass (Thickness 0.33mm)

Anti Shattered Film.

Sensitive touch.

So far working very good. Price was 300tk (about 4$), bought it from Motaleb plaza in Bangladesh.

Hi.

I think I should stop and ask for advice before trying anything else.

I have just received a 32gb D802 (International I think) with build KOT49I.D80220b and baseband M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190082

It was pre-rooted. Root worked fine after updating SU binary. I downloaded twrp 2.8.0.1 from within flashify and installed it.

It displayed status 7 during recovery flash. I notice it already had philz touch recovery installed at the time rather than stock recovery.

I then tried D802_AutoRec.apk

On reboot it is stuck in fastboot mode displaying "Fastboot mode started".

I've plugged it in to usb on pc after installing minimal ADB.

What's my next step? I'm worried it may not be charging and I have limited time before it dies?

Edit: To correct sequence of events.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obvious:
Thank you.

I ran pokreni.bat and all operations appeared to complete successfully

However on reboot following 15 seconds pressing power button it just goes back to fastboot mode
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Try powering off the device.

Hold volume up - then connect usb to computer.

Is download mode alive ?

anyway - which package(philz) did you flash anyway ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obvious:
It doesn't power off fully it reboots. If I hold (and continue to hold) volume up immediately following exit from fastboot mode it just goes back to fastboot mode.

All I've flashed since receiving the phone is twrp 2.8.0.1 from within Autorec

Edit, sorry I'm wrong. I downloaded 2.8.0.1 from within flashify
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
I ask because of this: "I notice it already had philz touch recovery installed at the time rather than stock recovery."

Autorec installs 2.7.0.0

So if you downloaded the right version of 2.8.0.1 / 2.8.0.2 it should work (updating = installing from current TWRP - not philz)

EDIT: long hold the power..long long..until it's off ( cable should be disconnected)..then when you're sure it's off - hold volume up and connect to cable and obviously PC.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obvious:
Philz was already installed when I received the phone but I didnt realize until I tried to flash twrp with flashify.

OK, I can get it to power off completely then when holding volume up and plugging it into USB/PC it briefly enters download mode then goes to fastboot again

EDIT: Should I try this recovery http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705 then renaming it to recovery.img and re-running the .bat file you linked to previously after replacing the recovery.img there with the new one?

Edit2: Just to be clear (I was confusing myself) I did manage to run D802_AutoRec.apk immediately prior to the fastboot problem.

Edit3: I can get it to the factory data reset screen when attempting to enter recovery but it goes back to fastboot after I select Yes twice

Edit4: I have the 32gb D802. Perhaps something from here would help? http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D802/Stock_Firmware and I could fastboot flash the relevant partitions. I dont like the look of 16G Partitions though seeing as I have a 32gb G2.

bender_007 has been a great help via PM. Thanks. I hope he doesn't mind me asking another question here.

I'm at the stage where I downloaded and installed the recommended kdz rom based on imei number but when I flash it it's Korean and the touch screen registers touches in a different place so it's pretty much unusable.

I'd read that other 32GB D802 roms should be safe to flash so I tried the EE 32GB one from http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/United+Kingdom/ - This one installs but bootloops after a while (kernel panic?) and the touch screen mis-registration issue is still present.

All ideas gratefully received :)

There are a lot of these Frankephones out there right now. It's an epidemic. Mostly D800 internals, occasionally D801. Sold as D802's with a new D802 rear cover to make it look official. They appear to be running D802 firmware but it's evidently just the rom or system.img. Hence the appearance of fastboot mode when people use Autorec to flash a D802 recovery or an imcompatible rom or firmware.
