webcam supported

Hey guys, just got External USB Webcam support and external Audio working with the Nexus player with my Unleashed Kernel, so far I've tested:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=infinitegra.trial.usbcamera

And it works great, now lets see if we can get some devs together and get hangouts working with video ;)

Instructions, fastboot flash my kernel, then plug in your webcam with usb otg cable and powered usb hub, open webcam app and have fun ;)
[Nexus Player General] ktownhero:
Hangouts with the NP would be pretty slick

For those who are interested in British television, these apps all work but require mouse input: BBC iPlayer, 4od, Demand 5, ITV, Zattoo, TVCatchup. The google cast function on iPlayer does not work. Zen Pinball, and Atari 2600 emulator work and can be loaded from google web store. K9 email works as well.

sorry everyone for not keeping up the list as of late. I've been busy with a new job and family events due to the holiday season. Ive updated it to a certain point and will finish updating it sometime next week.

On a separate note, I'm going to be making and submit a quick reboot app that will show up in the home screen and be installable from at least the web play store. I'll post when it's available.

[Nexus Player General] Bejbe01:
PS3 controller works fine with NP using sixaxis app

only problem with some games is that there is no way to exit them (missing exit button in game menu) so I have to use alt+tab on my BT keyboard to exit
[Nexus Player General] CheCorchete:
And you can use the home or exit button on the NP's remote?
[Nexus Player General] Bejbe01:
when I use sixaxis app, NP remote is disabled/not working...thats why I have to use keyboard with its own BT adapter
[Nexus Player General] Sleeepy2:
The only think I had to do special to get the PS3 controller working was before starting Sixacess was to change the preferences to Android controller and in SuperSU set to auto grant access. Once you start it it disables bluetooth so you can't use the remote to click grant.
[Nexus Player General] gtgeek:
Can anyone definitively say that the Xfinity TV (not TV GO) app works with this. I'd like to be able to use this as my cable box instead of renting one from comcast. Casting works great with my phone but then I can't use my phone and watch TV at the same time.

I'm running LolliRock, so I'm not sure if that changes this compatibility or not, but here goes:

World of Warriors not working (though it would at least lauch before)

Hearthstone not working

[Nexus Player General] defconoi:
Anyone know of a good browser that does not overscan with cut off edges? Browser material has this problem and also crashes when pressing enter on k400 keyboard
[Nexus Player General] midnightzak:
Can someone not running LolliRock try Hearthstone and World of Warriors? I'm considering going back to stock as these are the games I'd most like to play. Thanks for any help!

Edit: went back to stock, hearthstone works great and it looks like Warriors wants to work but gets stuck with something flickering on the first screen.

Does not work with ADT-1

I thought I would just let users of the ADT-1 know that the current version of HBO GO does NOT work. It loads, but when you go to play a video it refuses to stream. Ive found some earlier versions that work, but the quality of the video is degraded.
[Nexus Player General] Sleeepy2:
Aww, that sucks. I bought it when it first came out to side load it on my tablet but it didn't work so I refunded it. When it was on sale for 75 cents I decided to just get it anyways. The new version worked on my tablet and now the NP :D
[Nexus Player General] etnpnys:
I've had 2 different NPs and MC5 caused reboots on both of them. Still not sure if this is an NP or MC5 issue, though...
[Nexus Player General] Sleeepy2:
Reboots of the NP?

Since MC4 I have had that kick me out of the app on my tablet and for MC5 it will kick me out of the game on my tablet and NP but never reboot the system.

Hi guys!

I made a small album showing my holding position that i posted on Reddit earlier.

http://imgur.com/a/mPBvL
[Nexus 6  General] ilostmypistons:
Yeah I hold mine the same way except I put my pinky tip under the charging hole. No problem for me one handing it and I don't have big hands
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
Yeah I do the same. No issues with holding this phone and still able to use it one handed.
[Nexus 6  General] androidtoy09:
I too like to live on the edge.
[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Without my pinky below the bottom edge, I can't picture myself holding it (in my case, I am sure it is a cracked screen waiting to happen)

With the pinky below the bottom edge, I of course can't reach the notification bar with my thumb
[Nexus 6  General] stevemw:
Balancing the device on your fingers like that would make it highly prone to drops.
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
Yes. I can hold it one handed fine. The dimple on the back is super useful for this.
[Nexus 6  General] 10pmStalker:
I want to see videos of this in action from every one of you!
[Nexus 6  General] imtjnotu:
I have girl hands for a dude but I've been using phablets since the note 1..im use to the whole one handed and two handed scheme already
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Props to you for admitting that lol honestly, ive never heard a bro say that.
[Nexus 6  General] CaptainSpazzz:
Its a workout reaching elements on the screen one handed. I'm playing it safe until my spigen case gets here. Then I can risk dropping haha
[Nexus 6  General] nebochenezzar:
I will be honest. I have never had a "phablet" and the largest phone i have had prior to the 6 was the 5. I have very large hands and honestly this is the most natural typing experience since the motorola Q for me. One handed works fine and i do not "fat finger" nearly as much as i used to. Do not get me wrong, the phone is huge, but it actually fits!
[Nexus 6  General] Deltatko:
I've been holding my notes that way for years so I'm sure once I'm able to track down a 6 for myself I'll have no issues.
[Nexus 6  General] Noxey:
I don't have my nexus 6 yet but I do a similar thing with my 5. I kind of throw it around in my hand changing where I balance it to reach the top of bottom.

It's a skill, really.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
Same here since I'm a chick so my hands are small.

I never noticed that I balanced the phone until I started to picture how I would hold my N6. And I noticed I practically two hand the N5 already 80% of the time. So It wont be that big of a change for me I hope.
[Nexus 6  General] Schaweet:
I tested things out this week on an LG G flex and this is how I had to hold it. Worked fine. Plus, I'll put Nova on it immediately so I can swipe down from anywhere and don't have to reach the top on the screen.

I am a big guy with big hands but unfortunately this phone is too big for me. I love it but wish it had one handed operations
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
Consider a custom launcher like Nova Prime with custom gestures.
[Nexus 6  General] viny2cool:
I tried that but then I don't get my Google now page on the left screen. Is there any work around for that?
[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Rumor has it (can't disclose source, sorry - it is not confirmed) that we might get some form of multi-window functionality on Nexus 6 in the first quarter of next year. Hopefully, they will include some accessibility features to help with one-hand-use with that.
[Nexus 6  General] Raistline:
I can do most actions with only 1 hand but it is much more comfortable to use 2 hands. I don't see myself doing anything 1 handed except quickly checking notifications.

I ensured my phone through Worth Ave Group. It is $69 a year with option to renew and the claims on a broken or stolen device are only $50. They may be slower than other Electronics insurance companies but the send you a check instead of a refurb phone (or equivalent model) so you can buy a new one and they have no limit on the amount of claims. Since this is so cheap compared to all but MotoCare (which i cannot get because I bought mine through Google) I will be using a phone case only when I am out and about while drinking. Or just in situations where I am more likely to drop it on a hard surface.

(if you want to use WorthGroup use coupon code: Radio for 15% off)

I did contact Google Play Store support and they told me that they will not offer the same 1 time replacement that they had with the Nexus 5 for damaged phones. Once I heard this I knew I had no choice but to insure my phones instead of risking a $700 on a drop. I never once broke my Nexus 4 but did break my Samsung T989 once and that had cost $189 through T-mobile insurance, and that was a cheaper phone than the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
I use Nova Prime on my Note 2. I set "swipe up" to open search, which brings up the Google Now page. easily. "Swipe down" is set to expand notifications, eliminating the need to reach the very top of the screen.

I use double tap to open the app drawer.
[Nexus 6  General] MiPaDo:
Due to the whole T-Mobile debacle I received my spigen case and have been practicing.

I'm coming from a OnePlus one, and the Nexus 6 will just be doable one handed, assuming the balance of the phone favors the bottom. I can just get enough of my finger tips on the other side to secure it. Its close but I feel after a few days muscle memory will set in.

Hell I remember when I got my Droid X and thought, how the hell am I going to be able to hold this one handed, then I switch to my z1 compact(about same size and laugh at the ease of use.
[Nexus 6  General] mejori:
all i could think of
[Nexus 6  General] ggreenwood334:
So far I have found 1 handed fairly easy with my pinky on bottom and navigating with thumb like normal. Even have a Case on. I thought I had average hands. My case has a kick stand if o need to easily reach the top screen a lot
[Nexus 6  General] kregstrong:
Same here, swipe down on nova pulls down notification, swipe up does recents. Double tap turns off screen with screen off and lock, this is with my g3 and Wednesday when I get the n6 I will setup the same way
[Nexus 6  General] farangutan:
Lucky to have big enough hands. It definitely feels like a big phone but I can still swipe one handed. I went from a nexus 5 to the oneplus one and that was a bigger adjustment than from the one to the nexus 6. Reviewers of these phones must have been used to small phones. I think if you can palm a basketball you have nothing to worry about. Typing with two thumbs is much easier.
[Nexus 6  General] Konikub:
This is exactly how I held my Lumia 1520, and plan to hold my Nexus 6 when I get it on Monday. It's not the easiest to use one handed, but if you own a phablet, and you're determined.....you'll figure it out and find a way.
[Nexus 6  General] V1ViD:
I have rather small hands and I've been using the iPhone 6 Plus by just placing my pinky underneath the charging port. I haven't dropped it nor does it feel unsafe. So I don't see the nexus 6 being a problem to hold at all when I get it.
[Nexus 6  General] fury683:
I find that when I use my Moto X (2013) with one hand (usually my right hand) and try to tap on something on the far left of the screen with my thumb, my hand ends up touching the right edge of the screen and then whatever I'm trying to do doesn't work.

It doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen, and the 2013 Moto X is very small compared to the N6.. I have yet to hold a device in my hand (no carrier stores nearby have demos yet...), but it doesn't make it any easier for me to convince myself that I can manage the N6 with basic one handed operations..
[Nexus 6  General] mb3030:
I honestly have no problems with one handing this phone. It took a little bit of adjustment, but i do it all the time with no problem. I wouldn't want to use it for extended periods of time like that, but for a quick text or whatever it's no problem. I do have large hands though (easily palm a bball etc...), but they're not freakishly huge or whatever. I use the "pinky shelf" method.
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
I have pretty normal sized hands...10"/25cm span pinky to thumb. And I use two hands with an s4. Just don't ever really need to use only one hand, and everything is easier, faster and more secure using two.

IE can an app with no internet access or restricted accesses using the Chromecast APIs/Google Play Services still connect to the first Chromecast it sees and then attempt to start streaming from http://hackyou.com&mediaid=myphonenumber&myemailaddress&whateverelseitstole

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austexcat:
Best call recorder

The call recorder I spoke about in an earlier thread does great at recording both sides of the conversation. There are several settings for it. The phone can either record all conversations or you can have it ask you after every call whether you want to save or delete. It is really an excellent app. I've been using call recorder apps for my last two android phones. My last one was a Note 1. The problem is Google did something to Kit Kat that doesn't allow these apps to work properly without rooting the phone. I wish they would correct this problem. The main reason I root my phone is for the call recorder. I need it for business.

You will still get updates if you root the phone, but you will lose root on major updates. There are ways not to lose root on the lesser updates like small fixes to problems in the software. But you will lose it on the major updates. I haven't updated for KitKat to Lollipop yet because a some of the apps I use a lot don't seem to be working with the update. I'll wait until it gets fixed.
[XDA Assist] Adam Hosein:
Hello XDAdevelopers

I am out of patients with the internet, I searched all over including this forum but found nothing that helped me (possible I saw the help I needed but was unsure if it pertained to me).

The situation I am faced with is that I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, I opted for an international version (because of where I live). When I unboxed it to my surprise it came rooted (it is brand new fyi). Immediately after turning it on I saw that there was an update out for it, tried to get the update but I end up with a message saying (after saying registering device for 5 seconds) "Attention Processing Failed". I have combed through the forums to come to the conclusion that I can't update my device because it is rooted. I have tried to unroot my device though SuperSU and factory reset, but when I do this the device boots into the OS with rooted access.

So my question is how can I update my device to the official 4.4.2 (which at the moment is latest to my knowledge if there is a later version I would like to go to that instead). I don't mind losing any data and also I would like to re-root when I install 4.4.2 (given that after the process it is not rooted). Is there a way to go from rooted 4.2.2 to rooted 4.4.2?

Important information:

Model Number - GT-I9500

Android Version - 4.2.2 (stock rooted)

Baseband Version - I9500XXUAMDK

Build Number - JDQ39.F3A268.2JIA388 (That is what I see)

In status->Device status it says Custom

I do not live in America

Also if I need to install mods and other programs to my phone (or computer) please indicate because I am new to rooting Samsung devices. Lastly, think thing called cyanogen, I see that there are some very useful tools with it, would the end result of the procedure allow me to install this mod?

If more information is need, asked and I will provide it.
[XDA Assist] :
Hi,

You can likely install 4.4.2 manually with Odin. See this guide on that. You can also ask for help in this thread
