I just tried this and it didn't work. I the below method last night but the LG Flash Tool keeps failing and giving me the error "cannot change to download mode". I saw there were some issues when using Windows 8 so I"m going to try and put Windows 7 on my old laptop and try again. If not I will try another computer with Windows 7 already installed.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
Hello all. I have a few questions since flashing the Lollipop factory images.

1. I heard that Lollipop would see a new messenger, and that it would be the default upon installation, but do not see it. Is it supposed to be a stand alone app, or installed as part of the factory image?

2. I've noticed that my recent apps persist after a reboot. Maybe it did this on KitKat and I didn't notice, but I'm thinking it didn't. Do everyone's recents persist, even after a reboot?

3. I've heard about ambient display, but cannot find settings for it anywhere. Is this something specific to the Nexus 6, or Lollipop?

4. I've also heard about Lollipop bringing back the possibility of moving apps to the SD card, but also cannot find out how to do this. I don't need it myself, but have a friend with a need to do so.

Thanks. Best community on the net.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
1. The messenger app is in the Play Store

2. I have noticed this too. Not a big deal

3. It doesn't come with the Nexus 5 update. That feature is for AMOLED displays only

4. Haven't really looked into this since we don't have an SD card. But yeah, they added SD card support. Don't really know much about what it is for though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
1. it got released yesterday, check the play store for it.

2. its how its supposed to work now.

3. its for samoled screens, we have an lcd screen.

4. your apps are already on sd. they get stored in your main storage automatically. its been this way since a long time ago.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
Thanks guys! Oh, and one more question for now: Any way to get rid of the profiles icon in the notification area?

Edit: already another question! Is there no gallery app other than G+ Photos that comes with Lollipop?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fleckdalm:
What's about double tap to wake? Shouldn't this feature come with the update?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
I don't believe there is a way to remove the profile picture. And Photos is the default gallery app. You can download any other one from the Play Store though

No. I don't even think the Nexus 6 has this. Only the Nexus 9
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidInsanity:
I own a Acer iconia tab 8 840FHD. I have managed to root it but no matter what I try to do to prevent dropped frames its still there.

Its a well powered tablet and sometimes its smooth at butter but when I lock it for a few minutes and go back on to it games have dropped frames slightly and so does the UI. After a while it becomes smooth again but comes back randomly.

I have and still am using greenify and clearing the multitask button but no difference. I have even changed the governor to performance and no difference. The only way it seems to stay smooth is by reducing the resolution :\

I also have disabled a bunch of apps. Using nova launcher keeps the UI smooth but not games.

I just don't get how it can run so smooth for a while then I see dropped frames to about 20fps.

If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it.

Hi all,

it's possible resize nav-bar on Lollipop final ?

Thanks!!:o
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Changing the DPI makes it smaller. I don't care for smaller buttons though. Other than that, you can try nav bar apps in the play store. Or just wait for custom ROMs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irro94:
Ok i try decreasing dpi

Thanks!!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
Decreasing DPI will also make everything smaller not just nav bar, so be careful.

Hi,

I have been looking at the updater-script for various android l ports around at the moment and there appears to be an extra parameter being used for the mount command as follows.

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system", "");

Does anyone know what the extra "" parameter is for/does, and is this something new for android l?:confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
I'm trying to restore my N5 to absolute stock, but I don't have use of the USB port at all, after it got in an argument with a puddle!

Ideally I want to put the device back to stock, so that it can be updated to 5.0, which I can't do at the moment as it's quite heavily customised/rooted which stops the updates installed.

Does anybody know if there's a way to do this? Thanks! :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
Yes it is, flash this file in your recovery.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358549862

That file is Android 4.4.4 Kitkat flashable zip file.

- Un-mount /system in TWRP/CWM

- Wipe: system, dalvik and cache (note: if you want to clean install, wipe data as well)

- Flash ROM (be patient - takes a while)

- Flash SuperSU (optional)

- Reboot

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zayaabby:
TO start I have the SGP311 Sony Xperia Tablet Z (WiFi)

I cannot install ANY ROM meant for this device. I dont know what the heck is going on.

When I try to install any ROM using TWRP or the PhilZ Touch 6 (I guess meant for CWM) I get the following error...

"This package is for "SGP311, SGP312, pollux_windy" devices; this is a "pollux""

Why the heck do I get this error. I am sure if I try to install a "pollux" ROM I will hose up my device since its meant for the LTE device correct?

Does the recovery or something that got flashed up updated tell the recovery that I am running a Pollux device and not the Windy version? Does this need to be updated somewhere?

Any suggestions or others see this before? This is going on 2 days now trying to flash a customer ROM. All I can flash is the stock ROM using the flashtool since they are a FTF file.

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, this is TWRP for D855 that the great [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] builded and the [MENTION=1109155]codefire[/MENTION]Team bumped, slightly modded by me to allow the

backup of the modem partition

.

The modem backup is important while going from lollipop to kitkat and from kitkat to lollipop since the modem of the two builds are not compatible.

To install just flash the attached zip in recovery or the img file with flashify
[G3 Android Development] S3V3N:
First ;)
[G3 Android Development] R0MaN0:
twr is compatible with lollipop?
[G3 Android Development] Skin1980:
you can install the lollipop roms if this is what you are asking
[G3 Android Development] Skin1980:
you are welcome! ;)
[G3 Android Development] R0MaN0:
I understand that but if these two files are to be installed after the rom or not, this is compatible twr do you play here
[G3 Android Development] Skin1980:
install this... reboot recovery... take a full backup and install the rom you like ( lollipop or kitkat) then you can go back with a simple restore without flashng modem.

[G3 Android Development] jassycliq:
You should be able to modify this one. Just unpack the recovery.img and replace the zImage and maybe dtb (not sure on the one since I haven't messed with a recovery on any recent device) theoretically it should work or at least that's how its worked before. As long as partitions are the same in the variants I can't see why not.

I can't use TWRP the way you and most other folks do because I can't see the screen. Therefore I am controlling it all via adb (like this). And as a result of your mod I do have a question. Can you tell me how do I backup modem when using twrp command line script or what command can I use in openrecoveryscript for doing that please?
[G3 Android Development] schoolsux:
Hello :)

Booting into your TWRP recovery works fine after flashing it with Flashify, however next time i try to go into recovery - its missing?

I've even tried flashing the recovery zip in twrp after installing a rom just in case the twrp recovery was wiped. But it seems this does not work either, the recovery is totally missing after i try to boot into it a second time :S

I have my Recovery.img on an externalSD, but it shouldent matter if it works flashing and I get into twrp once, right?

EDIT: Well, it seems the recovery is still there, but it wont work by pressing volume down while booting... If I boot the phone into OS and then trigger a "boot into recovery" command from there, it works just fine :S

EDIT 2, SOLUTION: Just boot pressing volume down + power then when LG-logo appears instantly release both and press volume down + power again.

Hold buttons until you get to the white "Factory data reset" window, just select Yes > Yes. It will NOT remove any data, just get you into TWRP! :)

Guess I'm retarded or maybie not used to such a process to get into recovery ;)

Greetings

[G3 Android Development] clandes:
Works perfectly on my D855. Tried cm12 lollipop today and decided to stick with cm11 for now as I'm missing all the features. Restored my backup incl. modem and it worked like a charm ?
[G3 Android Development] pvdeejay:
Okay I have finally been able to verify and reproduce this.

When I boot full Android OS and either use ADB or Flashify or whatever functional app to reboot to recovery it is working for me.

When trying to boot switched off device directly to the recovery by pressing power+volume down it does not work for me either. I press both the buttons, hold them pressed together until LG logo appears, then I release the power button and presss it again. After a little while question if I would like to factory reset appears. At this point I release both the buttons and press volume down button alone to navigate to yes option. I will then confirm the choice by pressing power button. At this point LG logo appears and device reboots to full Android. I'm stil on KK as I would like to get an answer to my question in the post #45 and also this is a bit scary as well because if something goes wrong and I will not manage to boot into full Android I won't also be able to reboot to recovery.

Flash the kdz of any official firmware
[G3 Android Development] UK-Sense:
use flashify to install the TWRP recovery, you get it from the playstore HERE

and then install reboot recovery from HERE its a lot easier than LG's fiddly buttons. Also quick boot will not work on Lollipop.
[G3 Android Development] tobitege:
The app store has multiple apps for the same purpose, the old "Quick Boot (Reboot)" app does not work (outdated), but there are others that do work for Lollipop, e.g. "4-way boot". If the app is not updated this year, it's most likely not working (see app description in store). ;)

Edit: Also worthwhile is "Reboot Menu Widget *ROOT*" in Play store (also has a Screenshot option), which is used in AndroidNow 3.x roms.

[G3 Android Development] ymcc:
Modem or radio in other words is the thing your phone uses it to receive reception. When changing ROMs from Android to Lollipop or otherwise you need to flash appropriate modem or you wont have reception working properly. Kitkat modem is the modem you get by flashing a 4.4.2 radio/modem image(here) from recovery. A recovery with modem support means a recovery that can backup your current radio/modem partition(here) so you can restore it when you go back from ROMs. A kitkat ROM has a software version of 4.4.2 .

[G3 Android Development] crasher:
If you are not rooted, you can't do anything, be it flashing this recovery or installing a custom rom. You will need to be rooted before you can use flashify. And to be rooted, you will need to downgrade to a kitkat Rom e.g. v10L and then root it with purpledrake. Check the appropriate threads in Development, Q&A as well as General for full instructions.
