...I had a similar problem with my phone not making sounds o incoming calls or msgs. Try sliding down the volume slider thingy (or touch the speaker on the display), and two bars appear, and slide up the right bar. this should sort yor problem. If that doesn't work, goto Start>Settings>Sounds and Notifications, and check that the first 3 boxes are ticked. If that doesn't work, from the same window click on 'Notifications', and click on the drop down bar and go down to 'Messaging: New text message', then tick the play sound box. Hope i was helpful.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fmstrat:
Hi all,

First off, I'm an experienced developer, but new to building Android. I'm looking to create my own personal ROM for my Nexus 4, stock AOSP but including root and App Ops. However, I have a couple of questions and clarity issues:

1) What is the proper way to fork AOSP so as I make my changes, they can be saved long term?

I've followed threads like this for setting up and looked into this to try to figure out the most efficient way, but it's not sinking in, so I guess I need a bit of hand holding.

2) Is it possible to enable App Ops in Lollipop pre-compilation?

I see tons of threads on enabling App Ops in JellyBean after compilation by modifying the Settings.apk, but I can't seem to find a way to enable it in the actual source code. Can anyone point me in the right direction? If anyone has guides for adding root and/or the battery percentage hack, that would be helpful as well, but admittedly I haven't done my due diligence searching those on my own yet.

Thanks in advance,

B.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
i hope you get what your after.. missing AppOpps / privacy guard is what is preventing me from moving to Lollipop.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fmstrat:
I'm sure there are lots of other ROMs that have this out by now already, but if you want something that's 99.9% factory, mine is compiling now. Assuming my testing works, it will be bone stock LRX21T with a few minor modifications:

Enabled App Ops

Root friendly

Full rotation (including 180 degrees)

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks,

Ben
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
thanks Ben. I actually found an AppOps app in Google Play which works on Lollipop!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fmstrat:
Could you reply here with a link to the App you located for anyone else who may be looking for this?

I just finished up my ROM actually. It's a base AOSP compilation for the Nexus 4 that is:

Root friendly

Has Busybox (for root backups)

AppOps

180 degree screen rotation

Modifications/Fixes to enable GApp support

That last one took a while, as location doesn't work out of the box with Google Location Services. It turned out to be a tiny tweak in the compile signing. Anyway, I just need to add the su binary into the ROM and it's done if you want it.

Thanks sage. I'll likely continue to use my own ROM since future updates won't break my changes or lose root, but that will help many people out who find this thread.
[Omni Q&A] pfxandroid:
Hey,

I didnt know where i should Post my Bug Report so if its the wrong section dont hold back to tell me.

I'm currently using my Galaxy S2 for daily use and after flashing some Kitkat Roms Omni is in my opinion the most stable rom and with Nova + ART a damn fast Rom, so thank you very much for supporting my Device. :)

I dont know whats happening the last weeks but it all began with an Opendelta Issue, i wiped all Data / Factory Reset via TWRP and flashed the Rom completely new and OpenDelta still didnt work, it just said every day its all up2date. Now after a couple of days it is working again, dont know if it was a Server Issue or something else - at the official Omni Page no one post News so i have always to guess whats happening :confused:

Currently i found 2 Bugs, if you want to call someone you open up the Dialer and then the Button for the Numbers but after clicking it, theres nothing(Screenshot is attached). You have to go back and try it again then the Numbers are there. The second Problem is that there is no Zoom in the AOSP Camera App if you record a Video. My currently workaround is the Google Camera App, there all is working fine. Also there are some Issues with Apollo , freezing , doesnt update the Song DB etc. , dont know why its so popular - its horrible. Replaced it also with a 3rd party App - Omich/Rocket Player.

The last Problem is that not everywhere in the Settings the correct language is used, if you need some translation help im sure many users would like to help(including me) but that is in my opinion nothing critical . ;)

...and sorry if my Text was hard to read, its not my native language but im working on it :silly:

Regards
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Per the FAQ, this is not the place to put bug reports.

However, I9100 hasn't been maintained in a long time, so filing a bug report will be a waste of time. Support for this device is currently going to be dropped with Android 5.0, and if it receives 4.4 bugfixes, that'll have to come from a new maintainer as none of the former maintainers have time/motivation for the Exynos 4210 devices these days.

Some of the issues you describe with Apollo aren't Apollo issues, but the result of a very deep-down core bug that has a side effect of screwing up storage access. This bug has been known for nearly a year (there's a big thread disucssing it somewhere around here...) and still no one has found a fix for the root cause. In fact, it's one of the #1 reasons the device is getting dropped for L. (It will absolutely not receive nightlies unless someone finds and corrects the root cause.)
[Omni Q&A] pfxandroid:
Hey,

Thank you for your response. :good:

I reported the Bug on jira and there is a workaround for the Dialer Bug: Setting The Animator Scale higher than 0.

The Drivers are the problem right?
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Well, there are three things you listed:

1) Dialer stuff - probably some sort of odd HDPI issue and/or graphics subsystem stuff. The Exynos4 graphics subsystem is why many developers don't want to ever touch the platform again.

2) Zoom in video - What resolution was Google Camera? Zoom has NEVER been available for 1080p resolutions on the Exynos 4210 family, not even stock firmware will zoom in 1080p

3) The storage issues are a symptom of a deep-down kernel bug that no one has found the root cause of. This is the #1 reason the device is getting dropped for 5.0 - there is no chance even if a new maintainer steps up that nightlies will resume until someone tracks down the root cause of this one. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2612329 has more discussion (warning: It's long...)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fakusnamus:
I've heard that using towelroot will root your phone but not unlock your bootloader. What does this entail? Can I still use Xposed Installer/ other root apps? Can I recieve OTA updates? Can I unroot again? Are there any downsides?

Looking forward to hearing about any experiences with this app.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] utsmaster18:
I just got my N7 and I unlocked the bootloader. I then used towelroot to root it and it worked fine. I have not flashed a custom recovery so I don't think OTA should be an issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fakusnamus:
But...

It's just that some of my other devices (samsung ones, admittedly) don't get OTA updates since I've rooted them, even though they're available. I've also heard that rooting most devices sort of cuts off the updates, and that towelroot prevents that by leaving the bootloader alone.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DroidIt!:
After rooting you don't need to worry about updates with a nexus device (or any other really). As you'll notice in the N7 Android Development section, there are a TON of lollipop builds and it hasn't been officially released yet. In other words, all updates will be baked into custom ROM's so there's no need to worry about official updates. And to root a nexus, simply unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery like TWRP, there's no need for tools ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fakusnamus:
Ugh...Yeah I was aware of that. If you read my question again, that was not what I was asking for. My queries were about the towelroot application in particular and if I could recieve OTA updates if I left the bootloader alone. I did not ask for alternatives. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nhizzat:
I don't understand why you would rely on an app for root with a locked bootloader on a Nexus device. It's so simple to unlock the bootloader and root. There's only, at a minimum, thousands of guides on how to do it. If you're worried about updates, unlock the bootloader.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fakusnamus:
Because I've heard unlocking the bootloader stops OTA updates. I don't want to have to download roms as my download speed is abysmal. Google services have (on average) 8 times the normal download speed at my place (no idea why), so I'd much rather recieve OTA updates from Google than download a rom.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DroidIt!:
Just another thought :) and I get your question, but if you did unlock the boot loader and then just downloaded the factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images you WOULD be downloading it from Google so you should get the same speeds. Now I know you asked about towelroot and I've not used it, but if you're worried about download speeds the images in that link are directly from Google. I know what you mean though, I have very good download speeds and no matter what I download it does seem like the one's direct from Google are about 25% faster. They've got good networking that's for sure.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nhizzat:
Heard that an unlocked bootloader prevents OTAs? I don't know where you heard that, but that's completely wrong. Bootloader state has absolutely no affect on OTAs. What an unlocked bootloader does is give you the ability to have complete control over your device. Flash any rom, flash any recovery, and never have to worry about losing root.

Take some time to read and learn before you start tinkering.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fakusnamus:
When I've rooted my phones in the past, I've stopped recieving OTA updates, even though they put out new ones. My friend who unlocked the bootloader on (and rooted) his nexus 7 also stopped recieving OTA updates. Are you saying that I can unlock bootloader and root my nexus 7 and I'll still receive OTA updates and/or can update to Lollipop when they release it a few weeks later for the device?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] esmith13:
USUALLY it's a custom recovery that prevents OTAs not an unlocked bootloader or rooted device.

For example, I have a nVidia Shield which I prefer to get the OTAs for as the stock OS is perfect for my needs. Whenever an OTA is available, I have to reflash the stock recovery, apply the OTA and then I can flash a custom recovery again. I could have chosen to not use a custom recovery but I prefer to - so I just flash the stock one (1.0-3.0Mb size maybe?) and then back to custom after the OTA. takes 2min extra work before and after the OTA.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fakusnamus:
I can tell you for sure that neither me, nor my friend have flashed custom recovery. Still no updates.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] esmith13:
What android version and kernel date do you currently show in "About Tablet" at the bottom of the settings screen?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] eddy0147:
The best way is to use towelroot now, and backup your data with titanium backup, then you can unlock your bootloader if you want for lollipop.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fakusnamus:
I haven't done anything to the tablet yet, it's still brand new. That was my friend with the updateless tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] esmith13:
Question still stands... What Android version and what Kernel date?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fakusnamus:
Okay...

Okay, this is going on a massive tangent. My question was : If I root the nexus 7 with towelroot, can I still update to lollipop when the update rolls out? What can or can't I do with towelroot? (except not flash custom recovery or roms)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fakusnamus:
I don't have it on me right now, but its a brand new one, and I've done nothing to it, so whatever kernel that is. I'm guessing the android version is 4.3 .
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nhizzat:
Just unlock the bootloader now. It'll save you so much time and headache in the future.

[LG G2 Mini] laufersteppenwolf:
Hey guys, long story short, the Tegra 4 chipset you guys are using is basically an overclocked version of the Tegra 3 chipset. And I happen to have a T3 device I am working on for almost 2 years now ;)

could anyone please run the following 2 commands from a root shell:

ls /sys/firmware/fuse
cat /sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved

a little background info:

on the T3 chipset LG decided to store the BL unlock info in some fuses. This, however, means that as soon as a fuse got set (bit set to 1), you cannot reset it. So you have to be careful with what you are doing when it comes to fuses. The above commands are simply just reading the info on what files there actually are, and what info is stored on one of the fuses.
[LG G2 Mini] chaddr18:
ls /sys/firmware/fuse and cat /sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved

no such file or directory in terminal root and adb
[LG G2 Mini] laufersteppenwolf:
hmm, what about this command:

find /sys | grep fuse
[LG G2 Mini] laufersteppenwolf:
Alright, got it :good:

I just wrote a tiny script to check the files I am looking for. Please run it as root and then post me the file /sdcard/fuses.txt
[LG G2 Mini] laufersteppenwolf:
Alright guys, I have been looking into the bootloader posted a few posts back, and as far as I can see the bootloader brings all the fun needed in order to unlock it ;)

It may not offer the feature to unlock it by default, but maybe we can trick it to do so ;) But therefore I need the above info
[LG G2 Mini] chaddr18:
i get this
