[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haadkoe:
You may get prompted to download and install new updates when they arrive, but they will fail upon installation unless you're 100% stock.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igeigeige:
there will be an OTA update notification if you have stock rom wether you have a sotck or a custom recovery. But if you download and install the OTA update having a custom recovery, the installation will fail and will show an installation or update error. You will be stucked in "no command" image. so better restore your stock recovery as well before downloading any OTA updates.. :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
Does the Google image download page (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images) get updated as Lollipop gets updated? Or am I going to have to do OTA updates?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igeigeige:
hmm.. im not sure which comes first.. but, if you want to get OTA, you'll have to wait for your device to get its turn for the notification to appear. The effect will still be the same though if you flash that google image to your device.. And flashing that device, will save you time from waiting for your OTA to appear on your device. :)

Cheers! :good:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
Well, I'm a bit confused. I'm on stock, but i need root, so i installed cfar, which I think included super su. when a new version of super su came out (i was alerted via google play), i needed to install the twrp recovery (which I didn't have installed at that point) to update it. So I guess I'm not stock any more, even though I've not actually put a non-stock image on. So even if the OTA update message popped up, I doubt it's safe to install it that way, even if it let me. I'm just not sure whether I need to a factory reset/wipe etc before updating, or if I can do a dirty update (the OTA is effectively a dirty update, isn't it?). And, like i said, i'm not sure whether that page gets updated with new images, or whether you're supposed to just put the initial one down and then do OTA updates (and only then root, change the recovery etc).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igeigeige:
You have a stock rom but with a CUSTOM recovery. Yes, ota will prompt you to update, but DON'T. You should convert to stock recovery first. Because if you do, the update will push through, but once it asks you to boot to make the update in effect, you will have a NO COMMAND error - bootloop, and only fastboot and recovery (sort of dysfunctional). Just like most of the people here, including me. So make backup of your files first before doing the update. Cheers :good:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
If having a custom recovery is an issue, why could I flash ota zips from custom recoveries ever since buying the tablet?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizz67:
Should have read this first. In the bootloop. Tried flashing back to stuck with nexus toolkit. No luck. Suggestions?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igeigeige:
Hi, what i did was flashing the official factory image from google via fastboot/bootloader... Make a nandroid backup first though.. Because you'll need to clean flash (system partition/cache and data) to avoid future problems. :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ray field:
please educate me

A few weeks ago I rooted my N4 with CFAR (& of course had to wipe out everything). My understanding was that now that my bootloader is unlocked, I can sideload new images, thus sparing me a rewipe -- & in my ignorance, was anticipating that ChainFire would make 5.0.1 images in due course.

So, If I want to root subsequent 5.x.x releases, how would this work in real life??
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
Can i just restore stock recovery and then install the 5.0.1 ota update without losing everything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dabl198327:
Has anyone had any instances where your phone is restarted and once it's finished you notice any missing icons? It does it to me all the time and idk what it could be. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] slackercow:
it would be helpful if you told us:

-which icons?

-from where? (homescreen? app drawer?)

-is it always the same icons?

i've never seen this on mine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] timmyhawk1983:
its a touchwiz problem ..... gotta erase data on touchwiz and restart it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] rsfinsrq:
I've had this happen on a couple of occasions. Various icons on home screens and app drawer disappear but their titles remain. If you select the missing icon area the app still opens. I have an application, System Panel Task Manager, I use for system monitoring, app backup, etc. I just hit "end all" in the task manager which restarts TouchWiz and the icons are back. I didn't have to erase data to get the icons back. (Wouldn't want to set up my home screens again) Not sure why they disappeared, but it hasn't happened again in a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AoRaidenX:
I don't know if this is the same thing but I having a similar problem I am on T-Mobile and I am rooted and I thought root was causing this or the stock ROM I was on

but I would reboot the phone with an app like Quick Boot or C Boot (I think it was called) and all my apps would be out of their folders but the folders still remained

But if I rebooted by the device power menu the apps will stay in their folder

So like now if I wanna get to recovery from an app I would make sure to “save” my setup with the device menu first then reboot with an app...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dabl198327:
I'll try this because it's happened to me numerous times and I have to restart the phone. Thanks for the help sir!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Nizda1:
Yea happened to me too. A few times an icon will not show up like in TouchWiz. Doesn't happen if I use another launcher. So like someone suggested restarting TouchWiz usually fixes it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] D4nielC:
Yep. Happened to me once. Reboot didn't fix it. I ended up going into recovery and wiping the cache to fix it.
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] yellowflamingo:
Hi, I'm new to the forums and want to start off by saying I've been wanting to make an app for a while. I have no programming experience, and really don't know where to start. The concept of the game is simple, just tap a button. All you have to do is tap, and your taps add up. Once you earn a certain amount of taps, you can unlock new buttons. Also there could be leader boards to compare your taps to everyone else in the world. I just kind of thought it would be one of those games that takes no skill or really anything, but would be fun to make. Does anyone know where I could start with this? It just seems like a fun thing to make.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MasterrBrainn:
I think that when the phone is off the buttons are working, but when I restore even stock 2.2.1 they aren't working. Any ideas to fix this?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashk5:
I have several apps Greenified, but I was looking to see whether there were any other apps/services we could safely disable/freeze. Let me know if there would be any issues with the following:

SmartcardService

com.motorola.triggertrainingservice

Exchange Services (I have Outlook accounts added to the Gmail app, and I don't use the Email app)

Google Play Music

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riccar2:
I disabled "Exchange Services" the first day I got my N6 (about two weeks ago) and I have not had any issues. I also do not use the "Email" app.

I don't know about the other three but I too am interested.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashk5:
I apologize, when I said freeze, I was referring to Titanium Backup. I wasn't asking for advice on HOW to freeze, but rather WHAT to freeze.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidrobot52:
So greenify on 5.0 is useless at least to me. Tried it for 4 days but was losing a lot of notifications on my g watch. I feel lp dies a really good job handling apps.

[Ascend Mate 7 General] stefan038:
If you want more space on your sreen you can set the default DPI (480)to 320DPI to make the UI smaller.

You need root check this topic: http://xdaforums.com/mate-7/general/huawei-ascent-mate-7-unlock-recovery-t2941525

I'm not responsible if you damage your device.

Please make a Nandroid backup before you start with this tutorial.

1. Make a Nandroid backup.

2. Donwload Pimp my rom beta from Play store.

3. Donwload Busybox and Install

4. Start pimp my rom, and scroll to 'tools' you will see Rescue package, click on it and create a new package. (When something went wrong you can flash this package to change to default settings of Pimp my rom.

5. Go back to tools and choose 'Density changer'

6. Go to step 3 and clear play store data.

7. Go to playstore and hit accept.

8. Click on 'change your density to a value you like' change your density to 320DPI

9. Reboot and enjoy!

I use Nova launcher and with these launcher it works well. I also Tried the stock launcher but you will get errors. So I recommend nova launcher with 320dpi
[Ascend Mate 7 General] wimmetje:
Did you tried other DPI settings?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stefan038:
I tried 240 but you will get errors.

And 320 works good for me.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] wimmetje:
Looks nice, but damn it is smaller then my Note 2 @ 240dpi haha ;)

Can nova fill the screen with icons? 5x6 grid or something
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stefan038:
Haha yes, before my mate 7 I had a note 2 @ 240dpi and it its smaller but I think I won't change back to 480 because you have a lot more space.

I use 8x7 grid.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] wimmetje:
How is your experience with the mate 7 coming from the note 2?

Because i am consider a mate 7 or a note 4
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stefan038:
I have the feeling the mate 7 have more perfomance compared with the note 2 even they have both 2gb of ram.

I bought the mate 7 because of the big screen and the very large battery, my mate 7 works 2 times longer on a charge than my note 2 even with a bigger full hd screen.

For a note 4 you pay alot more but for the mate 7 you get relative good specifcations for a very good price this with the points above is why I choose for the mate 7.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bartdeking:
wrong DPI

I entered 600 (did that before I read this post) and it makes all bigger instead of smaller. a bit stupid.

the problem is that the lock application does not support 600dpi so I cant change the DPI back and cant use the phone

Does anyone know how to fix this (except of factory reset)?

I cant get ADB to work because I cant accept the connection on my phone (because it is locked and the lockscreen app is not compatible with 600DPI)

also when i launch CWM it shows "device ........ offline" when I try to connect trough ADB

I used the app Texdroider DPI

it says it can be restored by moving

system/build.prop to:

data/data/com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi/files/backup/build.prop
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bvt-1:
I used Note 4 before... Than Mate 7...

I'm very very happy with Mate 7, in my opinion better than Note 4.

With Mate I've 4G on work, with Note 4 only Edge, better battery, better fingerprint-sensor, but camera is a little little bit better from Note 4...

Note 3: 9 stars

Note 4: 9 Stars

Mate 7: 9.5 Stars :thumbup:

... send from hell ... hahahaaaa ...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] shelay:
i hope this helps. go to play store on a PC, search for Nova launcher and any dpi changer app, select and install install them on this device. it should automatically download to your device.

. then turn od the phone, pull down the notification bar like you would do normally. ignore the constant message saying huawei launcher failed. from the notification bar, go into shortcuts, select settings,

when in setting, scroll down to managed apps,, select it.

at the bottom of the screen just before the navigation bar, select default app settings

select launcher, and select Nova launcher.

now to change your dpi back, once nova launcher comes up, look in the app drawer and select the dpi changer you downloaded from the play store via your PC, set the dpi to 480. and then reboot. everything should be back to normal.

**please note that my device is rooted. i havent tried this on a non-rooted device but i believe this should work on a non rooted device as well.**

please do lt me know how you get on. best of luck
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bartdeking:
Thnx for your advice however, the phone was locked so i could not do anything. No possibility to enter the notification screen. I upgraded to the 05 rom and it was normal again but lost everything. So i had to configure everything again. Anyway thanks.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] kuklin.anton.12@gmail.com:
The density was changed to 320dpi. Huawei launcher have many issues whit this denisty. But Nova launcher have problems only with huawei's widgets. Othe functions work good. Applications work good too. Recent aplications menu is in top left corner with only 4 miniutures. Buttons Home Recent and Back shifted to left. There are no problem for me. Looks much bette than 480dp . I liked it.

Anyway to change dpi without root?

is there anyway to change dpi without root on ascend mate 7? bro coz I'm newbie to android development session ..... Please help .... so annoying of huge icons and text ... on huge screen .... waste of spaces bro :(
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mirchichamu:
Why you are afraid of rooting? Believe me there are so many people, me included, who will root their devices before doing anything else.

I didn't see anything wrong in rooting contrary to common belief. Once you are rooted, you can do anything with your device.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] SawMin:
ok bro i'll try rooting it .. but the comment says that navigation bar moves to left which is not ok for me yet :D
[Ascend Mate 7 General] mirchichamu:
I didn't change the dpi. It is quiet okay for me. You will get accustomed to a bigger screen. Perhaps those who don't like the bigger icons, are using big screens for the first time. You can use another launcher, like I am using apex launcher. The icons are smaller and crisp.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bartdeking:
USE App Settings

Use App Settings instead of changing the dpi of the complete system

This allows you to change the DPI for each app so you still have big (centered) nav buttons, but you are able to scale certain apps.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] SawMin:
bro how to change App Settings ? Do you mean dpi setting of each individual application?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bartdeking:
Sorry I was not clear but "app settings" is an module that you can install by Xposed

this module/app can change the DPI for individual apps instead of that everysthing is small including your softkeys that will shift to the left as well.

this means that you can keep e.g. the current DPI for the launcher, status bar, settings menu etc but change the dpi of specific apps like facebook, dailer, browser.

this also means that your soft keys stay nicely centered
[Ascend Mate 7 General] jacekwarchol:
Icons look bad after changinfg dpi :(

Hey Guys,

I've changed my MAte 7's density to DPI 400 and DPI 420, and in both cases some of the icons crash (Hangeout, Candy Crush etc.) they become veeery small on a big green icon- squere background, changing the launcher to Nova, Google Now doesn't help.

Any ideas?

I have no root, I changed density with "adb shell wm density ***".

Best regards, Jack
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] devynbf:
You need root to use this method because you have to modify your build.prop.

***** NOTE: If you simply change your build.prop version to 5.0.1, the normal YouTube application in the Play Store should automatically be able to support 1440p. If your YouTube application does not support 1440p after changing you build.prop version to 5.0.1, use the method below. *****

1. Wipe YouTube app

2. Uninstall YouTube app

3. Open file explorer that has root permission (i.e. es file explorer)

4. Navigate to /system/ (Make sure it's mounted as r/w)

5. Open build.prop

6. Change the line at ro.build.version.release=4.4.4 to ro.build.version.release=5.0 and save

7. Reboot device

8. Download and install this YouTube version https://www.dropbox.com/s/vm9ncnzyy7g94pf/com.google.android.youtube-5.10.1.5.apk?dl=0

9. Go to the play store and disable automatic updating of the YouTube app

10. Open YouTube app and select a video that supports 1440p

11. Pause the video and change the quality to 1440p

12. Close the video (just the video, not the app)

13. Select the video again

14. Enjoy

Hit that thanks button if it worked :)
