[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _raz_:
When shutting the phone down from the power menu, it always reboots immediately instead of powering off.

Why? And more importantly, is there a fix?

Running stock LRX21O, rooted, with latest franco kernel.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its not a rom problem. someone else posted this thread last week, it was franco kernel causing this behavior.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _raz_:
Figured out an easy solution to this. Reflashed franco kernel via fku app (which I also wiped). This sorted both the no shutdown bug and the issue with max cpu frequency self adjusting to 1497 MHz instead of 2265 MHz.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghettonine:
Alot of the reviews says, nexus 6 camera experience has been a "hit or miss" from taking a good pic even with HDR on. Would it help to install a new camera app and do some tweakings over it, or better yet use an xposed module (if any) to fix the issue?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripler6:
I'm a photographer. Here's the thing.

Camera reviews on cell phones are reviewed by gadget freaks, not photographers. They're interested in specs, they think megapixels are important, they don't even mention the important stuff.

Android L is the first OS to have a decent camera api. This will allow the nexus camera - which is only inherently different from the note 4 camera in terms of software - to vastly outperform anything on the market given a good camera app.

This mythical camera app should take advantage of a few things - full manual control. Exposure compensation and AE/AF lock. Auto bracketing. Proper metering, with selections for spot through to matrix. FPS control. Video control with framerate and resolution options, and the ability to manually control or lock exposure and focus. And finally, take advantage of L's .dng output, so we can work on this in lightroom after we're done. I don't trust my $2000 camera to spit out a nice jpg processed the way I want it, I shoot raw, I sure as hell don't trust a phone.

The nexus 6 looks to have some nice hardware. Let the software take advantage of it and you'll be happy.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartanm99:
Good post. My girlfriend is a photographer but her biggest complaints were:

- The lens should've been bigger (1.5/3 at least - according to her the sheer size of this phone would have allowed for a much bigger lens, even 1.2/3).

- The dual LED flashes would likely overexpose the images due to their placement on the back of the phone. Sure, aesthetically it can look good (depending on your preference) but logically it will risk adding too much exposure to photos. The Note 4, 6+, top Nokia phones with large lenses all have the flashes further away from the lens for example (for good reason).

- The type of flash (LED) wont be as good an xenon flash (or dual). According to her the phone body is definitely thick enough to house the bigger flash; this would reduce noise in the images and provide better lighting/exposure in photos.

She also mentioned that even with a 10/10 camera app which does absolutely everything you want, the photo quality will not be much better (maybe the same as or potentially still worse) compared with the Note 4 or even iPhone 6+. Yes the hardware might be similar but the placement of the flash compared with the Note 4 will affect the way the camera captures photos with flash enabled. As, even though TW in Samsung has major issues it does have very heavily optimised camera software which will always improve - better than every camera app that I personally know of.

Front facing camera however will not complete with the Note 4. From demo's , despite being higher MP than the iPhone 6+, the results are worse. I do not know why, it could be down to the quality of the lens in the front but the Nexus 6 FF camera quality isn't much better than the Nexus 5 (it looks the same to me).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripler6:
A lens is proportionate to the sensor. On top of that? It's a fixed lens. They can make those extremely small when we're talking about phone sensors. There is also no mechanical shutter, meaning the lens can be even more compact. This is why mirrorless cameras have small lenses. This of course goes for cell phone lenses in general, but the reason is there's really no need to put a huge lens on a phone.

The dual LED flashes won't overexpose the image, don't worry. In the studio we use a ring flash - same concept - there are some versions that operate as a regular flash, and there's some versions that operate constant on. You can shoot with either. Studio LED lighting is even becoming a thing now, it's cool because you can control the color temp directly and change the brightness.. it's also always on so WYSIWYG. Either way your flash will operate TTL and will not overexpose :) Xenon - what a hotshoe flash uses - will just use a lot of energy and drain your batteries. LED is very efficient.

The ring flash appears to be too small to have the "ring flash effect", which is uniform lighting around a subject that is popular in fashion and hides blemishes.. I mean it's like the size of a finger. The source of the flash is too small to produce any meaningful difference between the "ring" flash and the regular samsung/iphone flashes. It's going to look about the same. If you see a difference, it's software.

I am just excited about the RAW support in 5.0. I am okay with an f/2.0 aperture on a device in my pocket. If I needed something better, my DSLR has a 50mm f/1.5 which is only a camera bag away :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmagruder:
The problem I'm having with my Nexus 6 is lag. That is, I went into my 9 month old's room, and turned on the light. So, okay incandescent lighting, not too bright, but I wouldn't call it 'low-light', either. My little son is standing up in his crib bouncing around, and every now and again turning and smiling at me. I go for the shot with my nice Nexus 6....and in the FOUR SECONDS it takes for the camera to actually take the picture, he's looked away again. I tried several times. Each time, the camera did NOTHING for a few seconds and then took the shot when the window of opportunity was gone. WHAT THE HECK?!?!?! It didn't even look like it was doing any autofocus hunting.

THIS is very depressing. Anyone know of any camera apps that will actually, I don't know, take the picture when I actually ask it to?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I'm waiting for devs to work their magic on the camera. It has a great sensor (Sony IMX214) so the potential is there. I really wish they could use the G3's software because its great. Is there a way to make the G3's software work on the Nexus for the camera? It processes images really well and is very fast.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smallsmx3:
Do you have HDR+ enabled? If so that's why your focus takes so long. It's taking 3 pictures in a row and is great for still images. I find the camera with HDR+ off plenty fast.

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

On another note is raw format already being supported on the 6 or is it coming in an update. I'm no photographer but I'm extremely pleased how well the camera functions. I've only had nexus devices. The last phone I had with a decent camera was the Nokia n 5
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmagruder:
No, HDR+ was NOT on, nor was the flash. I just wanted it to snap the stupid picture with as little muss n fuss as possible :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I extracted the lib files and camera apk/odex from my g3 is there anything else I would need to make it work? I can get the framework from my system files if needed. I want to see if this will help the camera at all considering it had a lot of potential.

Then something is broken on your phone. Completely stock N6, not even root let alone disabling encryption, without HDR+ or Flash... the phone takes pictures within half a second every time.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
It's still FC's even after I moved the camera.apk and camera.odex into the system/app and I wrote over the Nexus's libs with the G3's. I'm not sure why its FC's maybe I can install the framework.apk from my G3 and see if that works.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cwoomer:
I found this thread after searching for a better camera for my n6. Realized after reading your post that it is the low light shots that suffer from severe shutter lag. Pics in good light are perfect. Ugh. My original moto x Dev. Took awesome pics compared to this low light garbage
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnzesc0bar:
The pics are great when you are in a very well lit place. The moment you start to lose even a little light (semi lit), the camera really struggles. I'm very disappointed to start, but I'm going to stay patient and wait for Google to fix this.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannieloco:
The G3 is the best camera on a phone because of the hardware.. not sure if the software has much to do with it because I've switched camera apps on that phone many times and the pics still come out amazing
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
The G3 uses the IMX135 sensor while the Nexus uses the IMX214 which is a better sensor. So in theory the Nexus 6 is capable of better photos if the software can back it up. The G3 still uses the lib's and framework from LG no matter what camera app you are using from what I understand.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpgolfpro:
Anyone know anything about the Slo Mo capabilities? Im wanting to buy the N6 but the Slo Mo feature is really important to me. Hopefully it is possible with the sensor which everyone seems to regard as a pretty high quality sensor.

Go in the dark and everything slows down lol. I just look forward to Google fixing this soon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
I had the G3 and pics were acceptable (good), not stellar. So far, the N6 seems a bit better to me.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannieloco:
agreed.. my G3.. snaps much better pics. The Nexus 6 though, its close 2nd place. Pictures are much better than my S4 ad S5...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I agree the S5 has a terrible auto focus and the S4 is even worse. The Nexus with HDR+ looks really nice.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:

Hi

I have always used root browser to manage my files in sdcard and root directory. Lately the app is getting a little "incompatible" with 4.4+. The Dev have also not updated for over a year.

I have tried es file manager: too complicated. Too many features. A mess compared to root browser.

Root explorer: almost the same as root browser, but lacks some stuffs.

I'm looking for a new file manager with good root support and easy use as root browser. A new ui.

Any suggestions ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syedbilal093:
FX File Manager.

Astro File Manager

Total Commander
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHaso:
Ty, for the suggestions, but those are good for regular files like pics and docs.

I'm looking for more unzip, system edit, permissions level

Try X-plore File Manager as it grants root access to nutshell. By the way FX File Manager also supports Root Access to your system. I used to love Root Browser...!

[Nexus Player General] Elrondolio:
We all know the Nexus Player has a Chrome browser integrated in its firmware as it is used for some settings, google cast support, etc. However, it seems the browser can be somewhat user accessed and has a bit more capabilities than I expected, such as a desktop mode, mostly baked remote control support, ability to directly access web, image, map, etc search and so on. The interface for the browser seems close to having full remote control support. Amyone can sideload the actual Chrome from the Play store, however that one doesn't have a leanback interface like the built in one yet.

Here's how to find it:

Select settings at the bottom of the main menu

Select "About" from the first row

Scroll down and select "Ads"

Scroll down and select "Ads by Google"

Scroll down to "Ads Settings" link and select it

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Desktop View"

Now you can select from the top bar with your remote any of the quick links for Google services, such as "Search". Once you do so, you're brought to the standard Google search page... clicking in the search field brings up the standard software keyboard (or use your sync'd phone, otg keyboard, etc). The results are displayed in normal "Mobile" view as on a phone, but you can scroll to the bottom of that page and choose to view the results in "Classic" desktop mode which is preferable.

Once you visit a site you can scroll through it with your remote as well, however navigating and clicking links seems to be hit or miss depending on the site. Also, hitting "back" currently takes you back to the settings menu instead of the previous page. I'm sure there are other quirks as well.

The point of this is: it'd seem to be trivial for an enterprising developer to wrap the existing functionality in an app and expose this near complete built-in remote ready chrome browser for easy leanback web browsing on the NP. Or, of course, the obvious route of Google exposing this web browser to leanback itself. Interesting.
[Nexus Player General] djwyman:
This is cool to know. Love or hate the old google tv boxes (the ones with honeycomb) that is one feature they had done really well was they had a really awesome version of chrome browser that was very similar to the pc version out at the time. Still one that is made to work with the NP is good too.
[Nexus Player General] peef:
I was able to install Chrome Beta from the Play store, and after getting past the "I Agree" screen it works perfectly. I'm using a BlueTooth KB/Mouse.

I'm using ChainFire's Launcher to start it, as the Icon doesn't populate on the home screen.
[Nexus Player General] ldavids:
Tried this but can't get beyond "Ads by Google". When I select this I get a black bar down the center of the screen (1/3 the screen) and it flashes some information but then goes back to black.
[Nexus Player General] ldavids:
I may be seeing the "I Agree" screen but it disappears pretty quickly.
[Nexus Player General] Wilberry:
Same happens with me. I read in another post Chrome will work (non-beta) but launched through the Chainfire sideload launcher. Also read Nova launcher works. Will test this weekend and update.
[Nexus Player General] Elrondolio:
Strange. I still have no problem getting in to the built-in browser doing what I wrote above as long as Chrome from the play store isn't installed. If you instal Chrome from the play store, it supplants the built-in browser and the procedure above doesn't work anymore.

I also have Chrome from the play store installed... it works ok, but not as well as the (near hidden so useless) built in browser when it comes to the remote control support - with keyboard and mouse Chrome from the play store works perfect. I also don't like the Chrome from the play store defaults to its "mobile" UI in search, etc.

Hopefully Google will surface the built-in soon and provide an easy link in the main leanback interface.
[Nexus Player General] ldavids:
I thought I got rid of the Chrome browser I had downloaded as a test but I hadn't. Once I did, the built-in now works except it does not fit the screen correctly (menu items at top only display half).
[Nexus Player General] Elrondolio:
Your TV is probably not in "just fit" kind of mode... it's probably over scanning or set to 16:9, etc. If you can change the aspect ratio through your TV settings that'll probably fix the issue. Most media content is designed for overscanning so won't be an issue, but things like web browsers, PC screens, etc are not.

I was able to get the built in chrome by just installing google search from the playstore..

Beloved Hermes users,

I've taken the liberty of uploading all the current ROMs onto RapidShare for our downloading pleasure. I've also updated the wiki with links to all the new locations so that when the files are removed from the XDA hosted FTP we'll still have a place to get a hold of the files. I believe this will be the easiest, quickest method as opposed to using Torrents. That way we don't need any extra software to download the files and no seeders will be needed, either. If the links to these files will ever be required to be removed from the wiki along with the FTP files, I still have the full list of download locations so we can move the info onto any page we would need in the future.

Thanks

There's also an effort underway to move the library to FTP sites located outside the infleuence of m$ legal. They have no power in some areas of the world. This appears to be the ultimate solution to this issue. ITMT, rapidshare is a very good interim solution too IMO. Thanks!

If the petition is anything to go by, it would appear that m$ has merely generated (a whole lot of) bad publicity with their edict. I'm still hoping we can work with them in a positive manner because I believe that the XDA developers truly boost sales of their devices far beyond the additional costs of the occasional owner asking for operator support on cooked roms.
