[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevnube:
Thanks for clarifying.

It sure would be nice to have USB OTG + Charge and full DAC compatibility with Android 5, but at this point I am really thinking I'm over the 2012. I might pick up a 2013 because the Nexus 6 is pretty dissapointing to me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasEnha:
Hi,

I'm as disappointed as U. Waiting for the updates for ages but got nothing. We've been deceived by Google's promises.

Somebody need to check the kernel first. Seems Google using old kernel which I don't know what it's capable of. Maybe no improvement on the kernel from the features PoV.

I'm monitoring with U on this thread might somebody get enlightenment :)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Hagensieker:
In the interim I have rolled back to USBROM with Timur Kernel. It does everything. USB Audio, 3G dongle, etc.

Although it was a bit of a challenge. Every time I tried to copy the backup of USBROM from my computer to the TWRP directory it would fail saying it couldn't copy data.ext4.win back to the device. Really aggravated me I did a NANDROID backup and couldn't restore it. Then I got smart and moved the file with an adb push from computer to Nexus and then all was well again.

I'm looking forward a bluetooth keyboard, and Microsoft Universal Keyboard seems not so bad.

Does anyone have tried it on the Note 8.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Deadier:
No but

I have not tried the MS bluetooth keyboard but I recommend bluetooth keyboard built by Leicke. http://www.leicke.eu/en/products/SI54164

It serves both hard case and bluetooth keyboard and if you use it with the External Keyboard Helper Pro application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apedroid.hwkeyboardhelper) then the possibilities are infinite.

Hoping that it can all the same help you.

Hey there,

starting out as a little research project about new Google Material Design, I ended up rewriting and old little app of mine using as much of Material Design as possible on Android 4.1+ devices.

kcalCulate is an personal caloric need calculator, BMI calculator & weight diary.

You want to keep track of your weight, want to know, how many calories you should eat every day to reach your goals?

Calculate how many calories you should eat per day, depending on your body measurements, your fitness activites and your day to day business.

Keep track of your progress and check yourself developing over time.

kcalCulate comes with three different charts to show you your weight, kcal and BMI.

That beeing said, you can use it as your personal weight diary and stay motivated.
​

Additionally, kcalCulate calculates your BMI (Body Mass Index) and gives you a rating.

Select activites from a wide variaty of possibilitys. If you have a lot of them, you can use up to 4 different ones.

Specific goals can be gaining weight, losing weight or keep your weight.

Measurements can be entered either in metric units (cm/kg) or imperial units (inch/lbs).

(Please note, it's inch not [feet]'[inch])

kcalCulate includes advertising, placed at the bottom of a Scrollview, so you won't see if often, and another one below the progress charts.

kcalCulate also comes with In-App Billing (for supporting further development and getting rid of the ads). Them two are the reasons for the needed permissions.

Furthermore kcalCulate uses Google Analyticts, as the stock developer console statistics kind of suck!

Information about used libs and pictures can be found within the app

Some Pictures:

Enjoy it!

:)

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
what is modded rom or what is the difference between modded rom and non modded rom
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

A modded rom is usually referring to stock based rom with some or any changes made to it.

Unmodded usually means it's just the stock rom made into a flashable rom in recovery with no alterations.

?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] yegor:
Im stumped. I upgraded the rom, and tried 3 different programs, and none can even get a single satellite, after about 10 minutes in a pretty open space.

TomTom detects GPS on COM9, and it says "No Valid GPS signal" (Instead of no GPS device if its changed to another port) while it keeps searching.

PocketStreets tells me "the communication (COM) port is available but no signal is being received. Make sure the GPS receiver is turned on and connected to the correct port".

My GPS program port is set to GPD8, Hardware Port to COM9 and Baud rate to 115200.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Wire64:

hardware port: none

gps program port: com9

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hello everyone

I need your help. I have a rooted galaxy s3. I really really like the ROM developed by XDA members but there is one thing I really hate is the default caller app. I think it's the most awkwardly application developed by Google, since the most obvious thing that should happen when you try to use the phone is see the keyboard, either to find a contact or enter a new number. But Google shows an interface where no keyboard, just a list of recent contacts. If I search the keyboard it does not arise or come after three touchs in special places, luckily I found. So I can not write immediately if someone gives me his phone number. If Google wanted to make impossible for such a basic thing, he did it.

The official Samsung ROM has the best app I've seen: Default leaves the keypad, next pages are history, favorites and list of contacts. All them big size, easy to use, friendly using.

I wonder if it is possible to use this application into a ROM like OmniRom or CM11, and how I could do it.

Thank you very much to all.

Have a great day.
[XDA Assist] Perseus:
The Samsung Dialer/Phone App is based on Samsung's propitiatory TouchWiz Framework. Its commonly referred to as TW. For this reason, the app will not work well on AOSP Roms such as Omni or CM. You can however find some Good dialer Apps in the Google Play Store.

Can you please post your Device Model and Carrier so that we can point in the Right Direction ?

[Nexus 10 General] n1gh7mar3:
For those having issue booting after flashing follow these steps!!!

Make sure you flash the stock recovery (using twrp doesn't seem to work and can easily be flashed after the initial boot)

Wait for fastboot to finish the install, the device will restart when finished.

Stop the Device during the boot process then go back to the bootloader (pwr, vol +, vol -)

Select Recovery Mode

You will see an image that looks like a robot with its front cover over.

You can open the menu from here with Power + Volume Up.

Factory Wipe, then clear the cache.

Reboot
[Nexus 10 General] fillyo:

To flash factories images , just download the archive, then unextract it to $someFolder

There you have to boot your n10 into bootloade and exec ./flash-* corresponding to your os

I'm running f2fs on /data and /cache, could something go wrong by flashing these images?
[Nexus 10 General] b1g.p0ppa:
Lollipop won't probably support f2fs. I was on the same config and changed both back to ext4 prior to flashing. The flash-all scripts will format your data anyways.

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

So I've just discovered something interesting. If you enable USB debugging and while in adb shell issue the command "reboot recovery" my device will simply not boot again. It flashes the google logo and stays black. It will boot to bootloader but not from it to either recovery or android. Erasing recovery and re-flashing TWRP via fastboot re-enables booting to both recovery and android. Tested two times.

EDIT: just did the same thing trying to start recovery mode from fastboot. I think I'm going to stick with the stock recovery until TeamWin announces official support for this bootloader ver.

EDIT2: fastboot update image-mantaray-lrx21p.zip (note no -w to delete user data). Booted fine. ADB shell issued reboot recovery and it did the same thing! Would only boot to fastboot but neither recovery nor android.Re-flashed TWRP and device booted. Going to avoid booting to recovery at all for now.

TL;DR: don't boot into recovery mode
[Nexus 10 General] Johan1976:
The root problem seems to be that files cannot be moved to /system from TWRP recovery. :(

Tried moving some files manually with filemanager but just get failed. Are there some new restrictions so system can't be changed from recovery?

[Nexus 10 General] Johan1976:
You don't flash it from recovery. Extract archive and run flash-all.bat (if you're on Windows that is).

[Nexus 10 General] BritSwedeGuy:
You have to wipe unless you want a ****ty mess

I made the mistake of modifying flash-all.bat so that it doesn't perform a wipe - it seems that because of the introduction of data encryption you have to wipe.

So I returned to fastboot mode (power up and down) and ran the unmodified flash-all.bat

Lollipop in now happily restoring my apps - I prefer a clean wipe sometimes ;)

EDIT: apparently others have managed without wiping, I've no idea then why it hung for an hour and a half.

Creating SD card folders

I'm running stock with TWRP and the CF root solution, all seems good except after running a TWRP backup I noticed just a TWRP file, not a folder. ES File Explorer could not create the folder and either could su from the Terminal - anyone else experienced this?

EDIT: TWRP seems to be the cause, everything else seems to be okay but TWRP created a file call TWRP that nothing can delete or even ls -l
[Nexus 10 General] madroxx:

[Nexus 10 General] Irieone:
What is the trick for extracting the factory image properly? My checksum is correct and I have tried WinRAR and 7zip. They both keep extracting a single file with an unknown extension. I am running Windows. I also tried extracting on my phone using a file explorer. Same thing happens.

[Nexus 10 General] Aleq:
It is TGZ = TAR + GZIP. If you unpack it with regular tool (like Total Commander), you get TAR out of TGZ. Then you have to unpack TAR :)

Or use WinRAR which unpacks it in one step.

You should get:

- bootloader-manta-mantamf01.img

- flash-all.bat

- flash-all.sh

- flash-base.sh

- image-mantaray-lrx21p.zip

[Nexus 10 General] SteveRiley:
I'm quite reluctant to move away from PA 4.3 because I hate the phablet UI on a 10" tablet. But I did put the Android 5 on my Nexus 7 (grouper, 2012) this evening. I don't really use the 7 much and didn't need to save anything, so I just followed the straight up wipe-all method. It worked without problems.

Then I installed TWRP 2.8.1.0, which also appeared to be fine. I rebooted into the OS, then tried to reboot into TWRP, and was greeted with the image of the green robot on its back with its belly flap open and red exclamation mark. After some searching around, I found the problem.

The factory images include the file /system/recovery-from-boot.p. Apparently, each time the OS boots, this file checks the recovery partition. If the stock recovery isn't there, it wipes the partition. That would explain why I couldn't boot TWRP after booting the OS.

The solution is to flash TWRP again (via fastboot). Then boot TWRP, mount the system partition, and rename this file to something else. I used recovery-from-boot.p.old. This is sufficient to stop the OS from obliterating TWRP. I can now freely move back and forth between them.

This doesn't sound exactly like the problem you're having, but perhaps it's worth taking a look anyway.
[Nexus 10 General] b1g.p0ppa:
[MENTION=270939]SteveRiley[/MENTION] Thanks for that info. Last night I hooked up to the PC and issued a reboot recovery via adb shell. I was fully prepared to have to re-flash twrp in the bootloader but surprisingly twrp fired right up. After reading your post I just successfully booted into recovery from the bootloader without having to run through those shenanigans either! Looked and my /system/recovery-from-boot.p file has been renamed to /system/recovery-from-boot.bak. I know I didn't do that so I'm assuming chainfire's CFAR rooting tool must have? Either way my problem has disappeared.
[Nexus 10 General] SteveRiley:
I didn't use CFAR on my Nexus 7 until after I figured all this out so I can't confirm. But it seems highly likely, based on your description, that CFAR does exactly that.

Success installing and rooting Lollipop

I was running a rooted custom rom on Nexus 10 before downloading the stock 5.0 Using WIndows 8.1, I ran the batch file to flash all. Once completed I let it boot up. It took about 10 minutes. Google restored all my apps. Then I went back and used Chainfire's root batch file. Booted again to confirm root. Once that was completed I flashed the newest TWRP image. Everything is working. Speed and smoothness of 5.0 is quite an improvement. I can report that Titanium backup is working as well.
