[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
Looks like this may be a one off build. Team Carbon is currently working on porting Lollipop to their various devices, so they've put a code freeze on any KitKat commits other than bug fixes. Only 4 merges were made prior to the code freeze, but these merges don't seem to be overly important for our devices, so they'd likely not be noticeable even if a new build was made. Also, there are reports that subsequent changes to repositories may have broke the build for KitKat, at this time, anyways (I can probably fix this in my build, if necessary). I'll keep an eye on gerrit for any useful bug fixes being merged, but until that happens (if it happens), I'll likely not do anymore builds for KitKat.

Have a good one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
I guess I was wrong about a one off... My final unofficial build of CarbonROM has been uploaded. Admittedly, this build is a minimal update and you may not notice any obvious changes, but there may be some changes behind the scenes that may correct an obscure issue, or not. As always, if you have any issues from a dirty flash, please try a clean flash before asking for help. Thank you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexnaoumi:
My chrome keeps opening in floating mode. Is there any way to disable this or control which apps show up on floating mode. Running latest carbon ROM with stock google gapps package
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
It would appear that this is supposed to be a "feature" included by Google. In order to remove the "feature", Google's devs would need to decide to remove it. There's been a fair few theories on how to disable the "feature", but none of them seem to actually work, so it would seem if we decide to continue using Chrome, we'll have to deal with it for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexnaoumi:
I just used xfloatingwindows from xposed and black listed chrome and it seemed to work. One more question and I think I've got everything all set. At first I set an app to open when I swipe it left in the notification panel. How do I disable that feature? Overall this ROM is pretty damn smooth, I like it a lot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Been searching and would like to potentially give this ROM a try. Can't find out or not, does this have heads up notifications?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
Yes it does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Thanks for the super quick reply. I know its a silly thing, but its kinda become something I really want my roms to have.

Should have some time tomorrow evening to download and install it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Just installed, so far so good. Running quite nicely. Going to watch for how my battery life is, but otherwise really liking it.

One quick question, is there an advanced reboot menu on the power menu, to allow for rebooting normally or into recovery?

There are any tweaks to improve the range of wifi in universal ?

I have already set to maximum in wifi settings the option "optimize for perfomance"

Do you know some registry tweaks or chip hack tecnhics to improve wifi range ?

My friend nokia n80 and my laptopt as far more range than universal.

Just for comparassion the nokia was floating arround excelent and good signal , and my universal was no signal / poor signal and can not connect to internet...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adelang:
It's not just you..

I think the WiFi range on my XDA IIs needs improving, but I don't know if its a hardware or firmware/software issue..

I've just "upgraded" from a Dell Axim X3 with which I used a Sandisk 256Mb+ WiFi SDIO card and my WiFi range has dropped dramatically.

So why the move?

a) WiFi SD meant swapping SD cards around all the time

b) no bluetooth on the Axim X3 that I had

c) tired of carrying a phone and PDA

I've seen mod's and upgrades on this site, but often it's unclear which devices they're suitable for... Of course, I try the WiKi for BA first..

Help please?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SOG:
Well, From my experiences, the Universal's wifi range is almost as good as other wifi devices I have... as long as your wireless router is put in the right place..... :p

I used to have great problems with my universal's wifi connection, it's just not xxxxing stable, I mean it was connected a min ago, and then it disconnect whenever I use it, and I have to be in that very same room with the wifi router to get a stable wifi connection :eek:

Therefore, I bring it to the customer service for over 5 times, the repair guy just keep telling me everything is fine, everything is good, your wifi on your universal is PERFECT! And the dan thing is, it work perfectly for over 30 min in their office.

so I kept changing my wifi router, and another..... but then after some time, I found out all I need to do is place my wifi router indoor, Do not place it near/next to any window, but maybe put it in the middle of the apartment/house/office ....

I found out the Universal is easy to disturb by ANY interference, and place your wifi router near/next to your window will somehow do that. Once I place the wifi router "indoor" everything work just fine :eek:

try that, I am pretty sure it will work

J:rolleyes:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SOG:
Please let me know if it help ? :p
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adelang:
Re: Repositioning WiFi Router

Sounds like a good idea, thanks. I'd have to do some fairly major re-wiring to move my wireless unit though as it is the ADSL modem also and in an office which is not in the main house. Maybe I will have to buy a 2nd wireless unit for inside the house; I have a wired connection between the office and the house.

Strange, though. My Axim would always connect from certain rooms in the house, now by BA doesn't. Perhaps the antennae in BA's need improvement:eek:

STOP TALKING, LET'S SEE:

Features:

Rooted out of the box

deodexed

init.d support

busybox

removed bloatware

changed boot/shutdown animation

modded (light) systemui,framework,contact etc.

with built in

potato gradient

quicklaunch

3minit battery

added some useful apk's like

appolo

quick boot

battery bar

and Airidosas252 kernel V0,3

And minimal other changes, to make space for mods.

How to install:

Make CWM backup

Copy maxx05.zip to your sd card (external_SD)

option 1. CLEAN INSTALL:

Make factory reset, clean dalvik cache

Install ROM

Reboot

Dont scare, first boot take up to 10 min...

option 2.INSTALL WITHOUT FACTORY RESET (TO PRESERVE APPS AND DATA)

(I can't guarantee stability)

Clean cache, clean dalvik cache

Is it possible to use your rom but with unmodified systemui, framework etc? If so, what should I replace? I want to check it out, especially the LED function.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] maxx_hr:
Yes, just rewrite my LGSystemUI, framework-res, and lge-res, with stock and deodexed versions of them, change prmissions to -rw-r--r-- (like other files in folders).

And delete 3minit/potato gradient from system/app (com.three.minitbatterysetting, and com.potatogradientapp).

Please, post result here.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] SoulrainFalls:
Unfortunately

I flashed your rom as it is, without changing anything. Just to prevent making any mistake from my part. I can confirm that the LED still doesn't work as it's supposed to, at least on my device. The only difference I noticed was that with your rom the LED notifications worked every time I unlocked and then locked the screen without dismissing them while with Amiga's they sometimes did and sometimes did not. The fact is that the LED is supposed to flash by default when the screen is off and the phone is untouched but it doesn't with both roms. So I guess it is a KK bug.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] maxx_hr:
Really dont know what to say, because, on my device, LED notification works normaly, eg, in the morning (loooong screen off) I allways see happy flashes on it. You have P710?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] neutrondev:
Might be kernel related or system related. Why? How is the led turned on? It has a driver that turns red blue or green at an intensity. So kernel might be buggy or system might use it just bad. Try with stock kernel if you are using a modded one if you want to debug it. If it doesn't work it's OS related something is messing up the notification usage.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] SoulrainFalls:
Yes, I do have a P710. It would be nice if there were many more checking your rom, so there would be more results. Could there possibly be minor hardware differences between bunches of the same model? I don't know what to think. It's a shame because you people create roms with hard work and we can't use them properly.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] neutrondev:
[MENTION=6174533]SoulrainFalls[/MENTION] I honestly doubt there is any hardware difference. Hmmm what kernel do you have? Also an app or anything can basically mess up the usage of LED.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] SoulrainFalls:
Both this rom and Amiga's use Airidosas252 kernel. I know about apps, that's why I didn't install anything more than K9-Mail and BBM to check. But it seems strange that with JB I had all sorts of apps installed and the LED was fine. And how come the notifications don't work by default but do when I unlock and then lock the screen again? What I can see is that people are having LED problems even with stock KK .kdz. I think LG screwed the update(?) and that's bad for these guys that make the roms.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] neutrondev:
Might be bad update by lg or a glitch in kernel or an app interfering. Anyway this kind of glitches are very very very very hard to trace and debug.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] maxx_hr:
I agree, hard to trace bug, but, just for to be shure, it will be smart to flash stock KK kernel from SoulrainFalls's country/provider KDZ. No matter wich rom is installed on device.

HELP

Hi i need help.

I upgrade my LG L7 II firmware from 4.1 to 4.4.2 and i'm not satisfied i want to downgrade back to 4.1

how can i do that if it is possible?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] SoulrainFalls:
My P710 came with V10J EUROPE OPEN by default. I'm willing to try what you suggest because it can help others have an answer too but I don't know how to flash just the kernel. Any help would be much appreciated.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] maxx_hr:
Just flash your original firmware from this page: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=21. Choose one from your country/region/provider, and must be version 10 (JB), NOT 20a (KK).

After flashing you MUST perform factory reset.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] maxx_hr:
If you is on v10j, that is JB firmware...

When You flash KK, procedure for stock kernel is:

From the page: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=21, download your country/region/provider firmware 20a kdz.

From tutorial on: http://xdaforums.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/development/lg-l7-ii-how-to-unpack-kdz-img-t2815176, perform steps from 1. to 10.

Between extracted images, is APPS.

Rename it to boot.img , that is stock kernel.

Place it to your external_SD.

Open terminal (on the phone) and type:

su (after that press enter)

dd if=/storage/external_SD/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 (and press enter)

If you're not familiar with terminal, download airidosas kernel from: http://xdaforums.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/general/p710-p713-p714-kitkat-kernel-lg-optimus-t2889120

and replace boot.img in his .zip with your extracted from your .kdz.

Flash zip from recovery
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] SoulrainFalls:
Unfortunately these steps won't work because I'm on Linux. If anyone knows another way, I'd be happy to check it. Meanwhile, I flashed a couple of different versions of Airidosas kernel and noticed a tiny improvement. First of, with both v0.2 and v0.2.1, in the Home button LED settings the preview worked fine while before it was cut off immediately and second, every time I received a notification, when I unlocked and then locked the screen without even opening the app that sent the notification and without dissmissing it, the LED flashed happily. I checked with both the lockscreen in Amiga's rom and with WidgetLocker.

In conclusion:

1) The LED preview works in the Home button LED settings.

2) The LED notification works when unlocking and then locking the screen without dismissing the notification.

3) The LED stays off when a notification is received and the screen is off, unless 2) happens.

4) The LED works on boot time and while charging.

These are the findings on my device. I don't know if anything makes any sense. Just a thought. I think I read somewhere (correct me if I'm mistaken) that in KK the LED function has been changed and while in JB one would only see the LED flash when the screen was off, in KK the LED notifications work even while the screen is on. Could there be a bug somewhere in this?

Have you tried writing/copying any files from the tablet to the USB drive?
[Nexus 9 General] marctronixx:
OP,

link to the 4 port hub you used in this video please?
[Nexus 9 General] PaulGG:
I have minimum light bleed around the edges. The light spot on the video is on the wallpaper. Sad fact on IPS panels its far more noticeable on black backgrounds than on amoled as the black's are illuminated unlike amoled where the native black of the screen is used. I am so glad that the nexus 6 uses amoled. I really am not a fan of the washed out colours on the Nexus 9 panel.
[Nexus 9 General] PaulGG:
To be honest the 4 port hub was purchased from a local chinese shop for a couple of euros. You can find similar itens on Amazon. Same with the OTG very cheap on amazon.

Yes transfer work fine both ways large video file transfer from the nexus 9 to either USB stick or Hard drive and from drives to the Nexus 9 no problem

[Nexus 9 General] deeznutz206:
When I tried plugging in my OTG cable which already had a usb stick in it, the Nexus 9 did not show anything connected. At first I thought there was something wrong with the OTG cable but I tested it out on my N5 and a Samsung Tab S tablet and they recognized it.

Do you think the Nexus 9 is faulty then since 2 other devices recognized the OTG cable?
[Nexus 9 General] fblasot:
No, it's not faulty your N9, unfortunately this is by design, OTG is not fully integrated but only using third party apps like ES File Explorer...
[Nexus 9 General] deeznutz206:
Ok, I used ES file explorer and there was an icon for USB. I clicked on it but it indicated that the usb stick was empty. I know that this is not true since it contains a lot of movies and I had just used it on my other tablets to watch a movie.

Any ideas on why the N9 doesn't see the movie files on the usb stick while my other tablets do?
[Nexus 9 General] mkygod:
Haven't noticed this problem on mine. Make sure the USB stick is formatted as FAT32 or else the tablet may not see any files.
[Nexus 9 General] deeznutz206:
I'll have to take a look at the usb stick to see what it was formatted to. However, I find it strange that my Nexus 5 and my Samsung Galaxy Tab S are able to see the files on the usb stick but the Nexus 9 can't??? Doesn't sound right at all.
[Nexus 9 General] fblasot:
Your N5 and Tab S are stock or mod ?

Maybe your usb is ntfs formatted and they have kernel with NTFS support that N9 doesn't has.
[Nexus 9 General] deeznutz206:
The Tab S is completely stock (got it 2 weeks ago). The N5 is rooted + unlocked bootloader on stock rom.
[Nexus 9 General] underwaterjr:
I have a USB otg formatted to NTFS and have no problems seeing it and my files.
[Nexus 9 General] deeznutz206:
Now I'm confused. Should it be formatted to FAT32 or NTFS? :confused::confused::confused:
[Nexus 9 General] underwaterjr:
Well the problem with fat32 is the size restrictions and I have movies on my USB otg.
[Nexus 9 General] deeznutz206:
So I checked and the usb stick is formatted as FAT32. What the heck.

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

Movies on the usb stick are less than 2gb each.
[Nexus 9 General] underwaterjr:
I made some .mkv off of blu ray and they have been closer to 4gb
[Nexus 9 General] deeznutz206:
Ok, solved the problem. The USB stick that I was using is 64gb size. When I replaced it with a 32gb one it works. WTF???!!!! You mean to tell me this top of the line tablet only supports 32gb?! The Galaxy Tab S supports up to 128gb!!!! What a POS tablet. Really contemplating returning this thing. Argh.
[Nexus 9 General] fblasot:
I have connected to N9 a 100gb USB HDD fat32 without problem...

I don't know if USB HDD and stick are in some way different...
[Nexus 9 General] alicepattinson:
It's really one of nexus 9 feature that i love. Easy access for everything. :)
[Nexus 9 General] fblasot:
For me the OTG of N9 is not as should be, Google should integrate it at kernel level so any app can see it.

For example using MX player or VLC they don't see files on USB...I have to use ES File Explorer to play them choosing the preferred app...
[Nexus 9 General] cronugs:
Similar problem here. Nexus 9 stock 5.0.1 rooted. I plug in one of several fat32 formated sticks with a working otg cable and nothing. No indication that anything was plugged in and while es file explorer shows a device is present, it doesnt show any of the files. When I try to created a file or folder it says operation not permitted.

Funny thing is TWRP recognise and creates backups on the stick just fine.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 9 General] Nidstang:
I regularly use a 1 TB external hard drive with my N9 and ES File Explorer -- no problems at all moving/copying in either direction. So it's not a size issue. The hard drive has a power cord, though -- perhaps for certain sizes the storage medium needs a separate power supply?
[Nexus 9 General] totta:
OTG doesn't work in any form...

NTFS/fat32 16/32/64gb sticks, external hard drives and nor in TWRP.

Es File explorer don't see anything; the only way to see a files is Nexus Media Importer, but this works awful.

This a little frustrating especially having only 16gb.
[Nexus 9 General] PaisanNYC:
Wait, root is not needed for two-way data on OTG with the Nexus 9? Every other Nexus device with OTG, I needed root for 2-way. Without root, I could only read the drive, not R/RW.

USB Ethernet working

I just got mine today and while testing the USB OTG capabilities, I was happy to find out that even an USB Ethernet Adapter works in the Nexus 9. I had previously found some contrary posts on the matter, so I just wanted to confirm it works on a stock Nexus 9 running 5.0 without any modifications.:):good:
[Nexus 9 General] cd419:
You don't need root to write to a otg drive. You do need an app that is updated to the way lollipop handles USB drives. ES file Explorer is one of those apps.
[Nexus 9 General] PaisanNYC:
I just assumed root was still needed, I never tried it on my Nexus 9 or 6 without root. I know with KitKat and earlier, you needed root. That's great to hear.
[Nexus 9 General] AstroDigital:
Seen the Youtube video OTG works great.

ES File Explorer is needed but it is great app.

Why at first it said it was rooted through "root checker" and why now it says what I mentioned earlier?

are SM-N900 / SM-N900T / SM-N9005 the same or they are have different, specific roms for each, and should different files be used for each?
