[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simmac:
Hello everyone,

yesterday I dirty flashed the lollipop image onto my Nexus 4, the little errors I had, I fixed with

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity

.

This ran the Setup process,everything is fine, lollipop was running very good.

Then, today I entered the command

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity

again, unintended!

So I wanted to jump the process and rebooted my phone. Big error!

When I start my phone now, I have a black overlay over the whole display! When pressing the powerbutton, I see the Setup wizard blinking through for about half a second, but I can't press anything.

Can you help me resolving that without wiping? I deleted my backup after lollipop was running fine :(.

Status:

adb is working, but without root

I tried flashing the system, didn't help

Thanks in advance!

I think this post should be made as an announcement on the main page of XDA developers to obtain greater exposure.

We need thousands of signatures if not more.

Thanks for the heads up, cuz, come to think of it, I wouldn't buy HTC either if I couldn't replace the ROM. I did with my x7501 right out of the box; within ten minutes of opening the box I flashed. I wouldn't have bought the thing if that weren't an option.

Honestly, as sad as it might be, I probably would've gone with an iPhone instead. (I've heard it's a pretty fun hack.)

I really WANT to sign, but it isnt freeware we are modifying or open source code, so how can we legally modify software that is paid for and expect to win? I mean part of the EULA agreement says 'you will not modify or alter or redistribute any portion of this software'...so no matter how many people sign the petition, the law still protects Microsoft. it would be like adding scenes to a movie and sharing the new movie...the movie is still property of the production company.

Yes it's true... but the reason there hasn't been any legal action to actually DO anything about it is probably because Microsoft realizes we're right. Killing the custom ROM community (making us illegal h4x0rz) would basically kill the windowsMobile market and everyone would flock over to iphones and android... and the REASON for that is because they aren't BUGGY as crap like WindowsMobile...

Microsoft updates all their other operating systems with service packs and hotfixes.. windowsmobile doesn't get jack of anything.. you're at the mercy of your carrier to release updates, and in Verizon's case, that's hardly ever... honestly, Microsoft should implement an updateable OS that they can distribute updates/fixes, THEN we wouldn't NEED to fix their crap. Until then, xda is doing Microsoft a FAVOR by keeping popularity up so windowsmobile doesn't crash and burn.

i got about 10people into ppcs,and xda-devs ofcourse...and most of us got even more, so ppc market partly depends on us

ppcs would only be like other phones...those crapy nokias,sony-ericssons...

xda-devs gave ppcs a soul

I also hope that the existing idiotic contacts program of WM will be modified as soon as possible.

The WM contacts program limits the quantity of mobile/telephone numbers for one contact. In a Symbian phone one can add as many mobile/telephon numbers as you wish. The WM contacts is incredibly inconvenient!!

[General Topics] rockerrock:
The only way to really get things changed is to stop using WM devices. As long as they are making money then it doesn't matter. We are a very small percent of the users of WM. Even if you persuaded everyone here to stop using their devices (which they have worked so hard on) it would not matter.

Just like the users of Windows 98,XP,Vista. Sure there is millions of people pissed about the forced changes and now windows 7 is coming out, making all this spilled blood and lost money for Vista seem like nothing more than Windows ME. BUT! There is a crapload of people who can care less, the people who rely on Office 2007 and continued support from Microsoft. In the end companies save money by buying the new windows crap instead of paying mucho grande to their tech support team when patches stop rolling off the press.

For you, DEAR reader, the only way to really do something about all of this is to make our own OS. Hope that it is easy enough for the masses to use, or at least some of our form members so they can contribute as well and at the same time hope to god that the interface/coding/ideas/etc doesn't break any copyrights else we all go down (and even if we do use rapidshare private servers etc to sling this OS around, it won't be any different from what we are doing now).

SO! In the end we must choose to be a member of the norm, to accept the more and more restrictive crap coming down the line to use our devices or we can stop using these devices alltogether, which in the end won't matter because everyone else is going to use it anyways.

It's time for our own OS, something open source, and judging by what is all ready out there, let's get android working properly for all phones. It may not be the best solution but I choose the lesser of two evils. Sure, it may be coming for all phones all ready but let's give those devs over at google a clear signal to go ahead. Nothing like actions being MUCH MUCH louder than words.

It may seem that google may be keeping android to itself, only releasing it to their own devices which make them money. No shame in that but the promises of

Android running on everything is half false. Sure, they say it will be for a number of devices BUT it may only be the devices in which companies paid licensing fees for since Android isn't full open source.. Sure, you can get the APIs and the code bla bla for it but where is the open source for drivers/cellular modems/etc? They really pulled one on us, open source so more programs get developed faster (and may I add, a ton of media coverage) but in the end, google isn't going to be pushing out drivers to make it compatible with everything since the handset manufactures, the people who make it worthwhile to spend all of this money developing android, turn their heads away because anyone can buy any phone and make it into a "google phone". This is my logic behind this, and even if Google may seem to be the best company in the world, they are still a COMPANY existing to make money.

I really believe in this because the out of box experience is usually very cluttered and unresponsive in comparison to the great ROMs cooked up here.

[General Topics] quicksite:
Feb 15, 2009: I'd love to get an update. Original Post was Feb 15, 2007

It's now been two years since this first post and petition request was made. Here's my question:

What is the ACTIVE STATUS of any threats or serious concerns from Microsoft re the posting of WM Roms here at XDA? In these 2 years have they come to understand the social-networking phenomenon of how it drives MORE business, vs eroding or threatening profits?

A lot has happened in 2 years in the marketplace. iPhone has kicked MS's butt, and even though iPhone has only a tiny slice of the worlwide usage of devices and OS platforms, they reinvented the stylus-based tiny-menu Windows User Interface by rejecting it in favor of finger navigation. Google Android has now entered the marketplace. And the concept of APP STORES on each of the phone platforms has created a scramble, with MS, always slow on the uptake, eventually to join the fray with SkyMarket.

Someone SMART at Microsoft would for sure see that XDA-developers has kept the whole Windows Mobile platform COMPETITIVE with Apple's reinvention of the touchscreen phone, since here is where most of the reinvention of the Windows Mobile interface and usability factors has begun. So I ask: What IS the current status around here? Is this still a very dicey issue, or has the Redmond Sleeping Giant finally gotten the message that explorative users of their products are their greatest marketing and Evangelist asset?

/quiscksite

P.S. I was recently told in San Francisco by the lead designer of the Android User Interface + product designer of the G1 phone that anyone who counts Windows Mobile out is in for a rude awakening. And that FINALLY, after the iPhone found them complacently asleep at the wheel, they now have their a**es in gear, and they themselves (Google) are bracing for what's coming down the pipeline from Microsoft. He predicted they will not let their worldwide market penetration erode, and they will never again be asleep at the wheel.

To me this furthers the narrative of how XDA-developers lead the R&D and innovation-pushing that MS should have been doing on its own the past 5 years... So, is there any "peace and understanding" from MS now with respect to XDA-Developers? Or is this still a great cause for concern?
