Remove double post ;(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cgrairden:
Exactly what I needed. Thanks alot. I wish that someone had created a zip file like that with all the settings when using a 8525 on TmoUSA. It took me a while, but I finally got mine working well. It helped to have the wizard handy to go into to retrieve the TMo settings and access point names. Now we just have to sit and wait for TMo to toll out the high speed here in the USA.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aserar:
Hello everyone.

My phone started behaving weird.. it keeps switching to vibrate by itself. I'm not sure yet whats causing this but I searched around and I found that it might be caused be some app. So I'm thinking about restoring factory settings, but I want to keep my contacts intact.

The thing about my contacts is that I spent a lot of time joining people's phone numbers with emails, Facebook accounts.. etc.. I tried to export a backup using Contacts app but it said some info fields might be lost. So I'm wondering if there is a way to keep contacts as s after resetting the device.

Thanks in advance,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Go into Settings > Accounts and make sure all of the ones you have contacts with are synced and if you have some that are just stored on the phone only, make sure to sync to your Google account.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aserar:
Will this keep Facebook, and other profiles linked to their contacts in the contact app?

Also, I deleted some Facebook contacts from my contacts app. If I synced Facebook app, will this remove the contacts from my Facebook account,? or re-adding them again to the contact app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobw53:
When you install the Facebook app back to your phone after factory reset and login. It will ask you to sync your contacts with the Facebook Profiles. In other words. This will link your contacts with the Facebook profiles on your friends list. And no it will not remove the contacts from your Facebook.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aserar:
But note that when I installed fb app and synced contacts with the fb profiles, most profiles (I believe the ones that had no phone number) were not linked to contacts. I had to use the Join feature in Contacts app to link them one by one. I wouldn't have to do it again, would I?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes you would they don't save joined. Most just in case you don't install one of the apps again.

There is no way to do what your looking to do without redoing them.

Good day to you all!

Is it possible to have an increased RAM size by deleting some of the

APKs inside a particular ROM that the user deems to be unessential for his/her

phone's everyday functionality?

By increasing RAM size, I would also like to ask whether that would involve recompiling the kernel or something else would have to be done? Because, honestly,

I'm not that advanced of a GNU/Linux OS or Android user. I just know a few of the basics and then some ;) .

I'm hoping somebody would provide me a detailed explanation regarding my inquiry, or at least, a link to a detailed explanation.

Pardon my rather, crappy, english, it's my 2nd language so... :(

Anyway, thanks a bunch in advance!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DodouWang:
After seeing the article:"[INFO] Nexus 5 OTA Help-Desk", I did the following things:

1. downloaded the ota.zip from the article above, and copied it to the / of Nexus5.

2. restart to Recovery mode(TWRP), click "Install", and select the zip

3. Failed, It said that

"E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/c1a33......zip'

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/c1a33......zip'"

Did anyone else met this problem? When update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4, I did it in the same way, anything different?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Can you elaborate what the "blablalba" is? Odds are you have made some modifications to /system and that's what's causing it, but without knowing what that error is, it's kinda difficult to say for sure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer.11:
You need stock recovery! Only stock has that said option

called update via adb sideload
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DodouWang:
Thanks, The Error message is :

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/c1a33......zip'

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/c1a33......zip'
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Incorrect. You do not need stock recovery to flash an OTA.

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

What version of TWRP are you on?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DodouWang:
Do you mean that I should return to stock? According to the article "http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701", it will erase all my data.

Is there any method to update to 5.0 without my data erased?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DodouWang:
I have just update TWRP to 2.8.1.0, the newest.

Did the update need more than 1G stroage left ? I have only 900M left.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
You don't need stock recovery. What KK build are you on? It's under settings > about phone. And which OTA file are you trying to flash?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer.11:
NOTE: Starting with Android 5.0 (LRX21O) you MUST sideload the OTA in a STOCK RECOVERY. No exceptions. .

Flash the stock recovery from previous system image and then download the zip file,(what you are mentioning is the factory images) from here and then flash without loosing data as a normal android update.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DodouWang:
Build number is KTU84P

and the zip is : 5.0 LRX21O-from-4.4.4 KTU84P:android.clients.google.com/pa...P.c1a33561.zip. I cannot post urls as a newbie of the forum.

seemed right.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I stand corrected. I didn't know it changed with 5.0.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DodouWang:
How to do that? Is there any article for me to follow?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
It's just a simple fastboot command- "fastboot flash recovery [recovery name].img" with no quotes.

Do you know how to use fastboot?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer.11:
If you have any other factory images with you, let it be anything like 4.4.4 or .4.42 or anything, unzip the image-hammerhead-xxxxx.zip and you will find a recovery.img file.

flash this recovery like you flashed twrp

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and you will get the stock recovery boot into that and you will see, "apply update from adb"

choose that option and then when asked use adb to push the update.zip into the phone.

No problems :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You used to be able to boot into a custom recovery without flashing it with: fastboot boot namerecovery.img. Don`t know its possible with stock recovery though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
You can still boot into a custom recovery via fastboot... but what does that have to do with what we're talking about? I'm confused...Are you suggesting he try that instead of actually flashing it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I said i have never tried booting into a stock recovery (but it would be nice to know it works) and i`am not even fully sure it will work ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DodouWang:
I have used them when rooting my Nexus 5, several years ago...

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DodouWang:
I extract the recovery.img from KTU84P's factory image(Which is my current version), and then:

1. hold down Volume down + power, until I saw the bootloader.

2. connect my phone to PC

3. input "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", and saw:

sending 'recovery' (9284 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.510s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.800s]

finished. total time: 1.330s

4. then goto "Recovery mode"

Then, I saw the robot dead, with a red ! on him.....

Oh I knew that, it is the stock recovery , I can use volume up to select ..... Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
That's the stock recovery. Press and hold power and press volume up to get the menu and then select 'apply update via sideload' (or whatever it says) and go from there. There are guides on how to do this on here already so I'm not going to list it all
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungry4cheese:
Hey guys,

I'm running Lollipop on my nexus 5 and totally hate the new Gmail app for various ui reasons. The rest of the OS I generally like. I'd like to downgrade to the previous 4.9 version of the app to get the old ui back, but just simply trying to install the apk doesn't seem to work. Since it's a system app, I was thinking about replacing the apk with root Explorer. What do you guys think? Possible to do?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Does the install fail? As with all previous versions, they've been installable.

You may just have to learn to live with it though or find an alternative app.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungry4cheese:
Yeah the install fails. I figured it out though. First what I did was freeze the original app through titanium backup, and then it allowed me to install the old version. Has been working great since. Renaming the app in the system and then trying to install the old version didn't work - it installed, but just crashed right away.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Oh. I didn't realise you still had the other version.

Yeah you can't have two apps the same. Its not based on package name either. So you can rename them all you want but that won't work
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungry4cheese:
Well I uninstalled all updates to the lollipop version (5.0) and then tried to rename the gmail apk in the system so the system wouldn't recognize it anymore. That removed the app and allowed me to install version 4.9, but after installing all it did was crash. I undid my changes and then tried to freeze the app in TB, which worked and allowed me to install version 4.9apk, which works great now. And then I just told the market not to update it to 5.0. I'm a fan of the older design on this app. Much more usable. The rest is okay and I like the new design.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jago25_98:
Android likes to wait until ram is full. Then it clear ram when it needs it. This leads to lag since unlike iOS the ui is on the same thread(stupid). Also, android uses garbage collection which uses more ram unlike arc.

So, clearing processes does help but then it just builds up again.

With keyboards running at 40mb and gmail at 60mb this is only going to get worse.

There is also cache clearing that might help... But which cache doesn't lose settings? I'm also beginning to think that a lot of photos can slow things but I don't really know why since that should be static storage and nothing to do with RAM
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamale:
I would really like to know how you managed to install gmail version 4.9 on lollipop... I have a oneplus one and I just got the paid version of titanium backup to try what you said worked for you - freezing gmail then installing a 4.9 APK, and while it looks like the freezing worked, when I try to install 4.9 it just says "App not installed".. no details or anything else. What else can I try?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShapesBlue:
Have you tried rebooting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache and then trying to install and old version. I don't have a reason for an older version and right about now I don't really want to have to restore a backup if I bork it doing that

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumper62:
The old gmail runs on dalvik I think, whereas lollipop uses art. It won't work
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamale:
I got it. Just had to use the built in downloads app to open the apk, not es file explorer. For some reason that worked!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungry4cheese:

Hi all,

I have a very strange problem :( i searched the forum but didn't find somebody with the exact problem ... sorry if i overlooked the answer. And also sorry if my english isn't correct.

I have faria's lastest rom (aku 3.3) and i had already the problem if i was listening music with my headset(a standard stereo 2.5 mm headset without microphone) and somebody called me the music was playing out of my speaker and me headset. I saw on the forum about changing a registry value and tryed some things in the registry(i am affraid here it went wrong)... didn't work so i had to (soft) reset my wizard to let it play the music the right way(headset). Now the actual problem:

My wizard microphone isn't working anymore(happend after registery change) so i thought i hard reset my wizard ... hoping the registry would be restored... wasn't working ... i reflash the rom... stil wasn't working(music came out speaker and headset again). I reflashed the rom with molski rom.. now the music wasn't playing at all through my speaker... but it does when somebody calls me(ringtone)...(microphone still doesn't work) the only way i can call is through my bluetooth headset right now... if i try to record a note (on all rom's) there is just some noise nothing more.

My question:

How can i fix this? shouldn't be the register been restored if you reflash the rom? If not , can it be fixed by restoring a backup from a different wizard?(because i don't have a backup of the registery anymore:( )

Thanks!

Hi all..

My phone started to switching its sound profile to vibrate. it doesn't happen that often but it is still annoying specially cause I don't keep the device on me while I'm indoor cause of the size.

I read that Google Now Launcher can cause this so I disabled it but the issue persists. I'm wondering if anyone had this problem their GP2.

Also, Is there like a shortcut that flips between the sound profiles that I might be doing unknowingly?

My device is d838 stock rom and rooted.
