[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinbudden:
When the OTA upgrade to Lollipop arrived a while ago I was excited at first... until I found out how much it stuffed up my phone:

SMS: broken.

Calender notifications: not working.

Google account sync: nope.

USB file transfer: forget it.

Photo backup to cloud: screwed.

Google Drive: nada.

Google News and Weather app: stuffed.

My fave game: gone.

Battery use: astronomical.

Everyone says to "simply" do a factory reset after backing up my contacts and files etc but the phone is so stuffed that backup is impossible: with no sync, no Drive, no USB, there is simply no way to get any of my stuff off the phone before a reset.

What should I do???

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AM Radio:
this might sound funny, but i made my first ear-to-earpiece voice call yesterday on the Z3c, after having the phone for a couple of weeks. up to then, i've only used speakerphone for calls.

call quality is, frankly, BALLS. my gf sounded like a Transformer the other night. there's some awful digital treatment or filter or something. equalizer didn't seem to make much difference.

strange thing is: speakerphone sounds great, if a little softer than what i was accustomed to using. and the stereo speakers in general, for music, videos, etc. are great -- especially when you take into account the size of the phone and speakers.

so, i'm curious: what have you done in terms of settings to make non-speakerphone calls sound better?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirk100:
Hi

There is a lot of information on various thread about this but nothing really makes it clear to me what I need to do to fix this issue. I'm posting as I'm sure I can't be the only Australian user with this issue.

I rooted my phone and am using a custom ROM, now I am unable to get 3G data. When my phone switches to 3G no data is sent or received.

My understanding is that this is a modem driver issue. But I'm unable to find any instruction on exactly how to fix this.

Android Version: 4.4.2

Kernel Version: KOT49I

Software Version: CloudyG3 2.0

Any help would be appreciated!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murshad007:
Its not a modem issue I thinks. Its band settings issue..

U have a custom ROM. What's ur default telephony network? In build.prop

*#*#4636#*#* what's the default settings? Its equal to default network. Also available in mobile networks as Set network mode.

If you change from the info command. Does settings sticks after reboot? If not then you have to edit build.prop
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mikethecat:
I've been running into the usual problems, at least, I think. The camera is so slow - I'm coming from a Galaxy S3, and I actually use that phone around the house as a camera because of how much clearer the pictures come out (regardless of the number of megapixels...). The volume on calls is low. And today, using the speakerphone, I hear complaints of an echo immediately.

I'm honestly considering switching to an iPhone - just because the camera and battery life seem on par with this phone, or at least better than what I'm used to with the S3.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Lower the resolution if its an issue.

It takes quite speedy pics at 8mp, just like your s3.

As for battery life, no the iPhone isn't on par.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mikethecat:
I've turned the size down on Google's camera, it's frustrating that you can't do it on the stock camera. It doesn't really change the speed for me, too. The speed of focus on the S3 was much, much faster, and that's what resulted in better pictures. Not the size of the picture, or the amount of pixels taken in. Plenty of threads in this forum say the same thing.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Then take it back.

You don't need us to convince you otherwise.

I've taken great pics with this camera. I am not one to subject myself to phones I dont like for the sake of a camera either.

Always buy a device for what it can do, not what it might do in the future. It sounds like there is a device you rather have. You should get it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mikethecat:
You're right. Just trying to see if anyone has had any luck with updates, or any other camera app, before I make the switch. I bought it in the holiday return period timeline, so I technically have until January 15th. I'm not super ready to leave android, but it might end up happening after 6 years.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
Is what it is as the saying goes. If an iPhone will make you happier that's what you who should get.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
This will provide you with no help at all. But I'm going to toss in one, lol at the iPhone battery being on par with the droid turbo. If camera is your number one thing though, I would suggest the iPhone. No one will deny it takes the best pictures. And if anybody does, there foolish. You can't crop them lol but for a point-and-click nobody does it better
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DarwinTanamas:
have u try to clean cache ?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] robmc826:
I just picked up the phone last night. Im used to the camera automatically focusing. Am I missing something here.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mikethecat:
It does focus automatically, and the nice thing about it is that you can actually pick the object you want it to focus on by moving the shutter. It just takes 1-3 seconds to actually focus properly.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GuestK00143:
Before you switch give this camera app a try. I've had better results with it. Lenovo Super Camera download version 3.6.7. [MENTION=4343326]Demiurge7[/MENTION] has a good explanation of how the resolutions work here.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mikethecat:
I'll try it out! Honestly, I really want to like this phone, but the camera is a huge dealbreaker for me. I really love so much else about it, but I'm coming from a phone that had a fantastic camera, even if the sensor isn't technically as high quality.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rhouse1983:
Because this is the best phone right now and with lollipop it will only get better.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gqskrub:
Is there a way to make the double-twist open a different camera app? That would be awesomesauce.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Byonik:
If you want a better camera and want to stay on Android (seriously, iOS will drive you nuts), then you might consider the LG G3. The G3 has a fantastic camera with super fast laser focus and OIS. My wife has a 5s and the G3 definitely takes a better pics - especially indoors. The unlockable bootloader is a nice perk too. Debloated and Xposed, it runs flawlessly. My only gripe is the rear power and volume buttons.

Q&A for Stock Rom

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for Stock Rom. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :)
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
I have spent quite a bit of time tinkering with this. Thanks for uploading it. I have stripped out all the apps that require a google login for any real functionality. I have removed some of the bloat, and moved some of it so the user can uninstall without root. I added a few small apps for functionality. I updated a few apks and swapped out a couple of lg's apps for the AOSP versions. I also updated the su binary before I pulled the image and zipped it up tonight. It's uploading to mega now, but I am waiting on word from one developer about license for their app, which is included as one of the data apps. Would you like to take a look at it and see if there is anything you'd like to work on while I wait for approval to distribute with that one app?

Thanks for this. I will be doing this tomorrow morning when I might have a free sec or 2. I use another app currently that gives me other options, but it is very clunky and not ideal. Your solution should be perfect to replace unused items with useful things I need! Take care and thanks for sharing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Morningstar:
Good luck! If you need any help or run into any problems, let me know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jazzmachine:
That's a great idea and some really excellent work man :fingers-crossed: I'd be interested to give it a try on my Note 4 at some point, probably not for a bit though as there are several things that I'd like to get "set up" first. One thing at the top of that list (which I mention because it seems like you might find it as useful as I do, if you don't use it already) is GMD S-pen Control. In terms of "optimizing" use of the S-pen and making use of it as the single most versatile navigational tool in addition to its other uses, that app can't be beat. On my N3 I had it set up so that just by scribbling something on the screen, I could: launch pretty much any semi-frequently used app, toggle radios, take me directly to any menu within settings, etc. Although I occasionally used air command, more often than not I found it "getting in the way" when I was trying to scribble a GMD gesture until I made it stop auto-launching, and just put it (along with most of the other Samsung native functions) in one of the several "Launchbars" that are a part of the GMD app - rather than launching whatever via gestures (or rather, in addition to), you can assign "actions" to buttons on various launchbars that can be triggered by drawing straight down from the top of the screen or right from the left side.

Anyway, just wanted to say nice work on a super-practical mod, and let you know about the kinds of things you can do with the GMD app if you've never tried it :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Morningstar:
Thanks for the feedback! Just be sure you have a good, working backup. I don't have a Note 4, so can't test it, but I imagine it will be similar.

The smali will be slightly different, and the file name might have changed as well (particularly the number at the end, after the $). As long as you can find the corresponding file, you'll probably be able to use the same long block of code from the OP, and just change the switch numbers in the array at the bottom of the file. If you want to send me your services.jar sometime, I's be happy to take a look at it!

As for GMD S-Pen Control, I had tried it a long time ago, and it seemed pretty useful, but it sounds like they've added a lot more functionality since then, so I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jazzmachine:
Thanks man! Just browsing through the system files and apks, I'd say that the majority of then look familiar (a few clearly new, and a few more installed DynamicKat ROM).... I've only had the phone for a week, but I've developed the notion that the way the the system (Tmo's latest 4.4.4 release)

definitely

, (possibly), handles things like dependencies and kernel modules differently. This is a really appealing project though because the result would be super-useful (it had never really occurred to me before, but looking back, it's kind of surprising that customizing air command isn't already "a thing" (beyond themeing). Just makes a ton of sense :D About time man!) but also because I'm sure I'd learn a ton just giving it a shot - I'd like to (try) incorporating a bit of themeing action, so best case scenario: learn a ton trying to figure it out and end up with a sweet / functional air command, worst case: learn a ton trying to figure it out and end up with a restored nandroid.... and a bunch of knowledge that I'm sure will be applicable towards many things on modding the N4 later on.

The only "issue" I've run into with GMD is recording paths for a ton of different things, then not really using it much for a bit, then starting to again to find that I've forgotten most of the non-obvious pen paths that I've assigned :D However, using it regularly is a huge time saver.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] UzY3L:
Why is this not an X-Posed module or a .TAR or a flashable .ZIP file or .APK file?? Thank you very much for posting this, it truly is great!

I have been searching for days for something like this and it would seem that everyone is just " happy" with modding the **** out of their droid but don't touch the AirCommand menu. Also, it would seem that people are again, actually happy with all of the other shortcuts / functions of AirCommand which I never used and will never use since I do not find them useful at all.

I've only seen AnyApp Air Command which I am using right now on Phantom ROM but having a 5 app pop-up menu for just 1 app is redundant.

I have an N7100 and I will do a nandroid and post back the results here.

This really needs to be turned into something more user-friendly. Also, in case you're working on something like that already, here's a suggestion : an "Alt+Tab" like shortcut would be awesome! Often times you're browsing the net for something but want to switch back to gaming or Settings or whatever. So a "Switch to previous used app" shortcut would be really nice!

[MENTION=293887]Morningstar[/MENTION] Great complete Guide

I did Microsoft doc and pdf ,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Morningstar:
Thanks, guys! This was my first real attempt at a smali mod, so it's rather convoluted and has a lot of redundancy, though it does work. I've gotten it to where it's much simpler, as you can see here where I re-did it for the Note 4. I haven't updated this, because it didn't seem like there was much interest, but if anyone wants I can throw together the same sort of thing I did for the N4, so you only have to add in the lines for your app, and change a few numbers....Much easier that way lol...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] UzY3L:
You have no idea how many people are fgsfds frustrated when they search for "customize air command menu / change air command apps / shortcuts" and all they get is "How to theme your Air Command menu"

So yes, please! Keep it up, you're doing an excellent job and thank you very much for this!

[X 2014 Accessories] jdnandroid:
Hi,

I'm expecting my Moto X (2014) in just a couple of days. Being rather prone to dropping my phone (the glass of my old phone is being held together by a screen protector) I am looking for a belt and suspenders approach. I would like to use both a skin (like the Skinomi tech-skin) and still have the option to put it in a case when I want extra protection. But I know this doesn't always work well, the cases can either be too tight or roll the skin off the sides of the phone. Does anyone know of a case that will work well with a skin?

Thanks,

Jon
[X 2014 Accessories] zgroten:
I used the dbrand skins on my previous phones and they all fit in cases. You shouldn't have any issues.
[X 2014 Accessories] jdnandroid:
Thanks zgroten. I just tried a new diztronic case over my naked phone and it fit pretty easy. Now that I've done it I think I could easily fit it over skin. Of course, just having a skin on my phone doesn't mean it's going to keep me from banging up my phone, but it might help just a little.

Jon
[X 2014 Accessories] zgroten:
I rocked my 2013 Moto X all year with a mahogany dbrand skin. Couldn't have asked for it to stick or fit any more perfect. I don't think a case is necessary unless you're super clumsy or do a bunch of outdoorsy stuff.
[X 2014 Accessories] jdnandroid:
I'm super clumsy, and do a bunch of outdoor stuff. Funny though that I'm most likely to drop my phone walking across the parking lot to work, I can run miles with the phone in my hand and never even come close to dropping it. Still, I like to use a case when ever I think having a little extra protection is needed, and a skin for the rest of the time.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorStrange96:
Hi guys, can someone please extract the DSP Manager apk, plus the soundfx libs and the audio_effects.conf, and post it here? I want to use them with the stock ROM. I tried extracting them from a CM12 flashable zip by myself, but Windows threw a BSOD at me when I tried to mount the system image :( and I'm feeling unsafe about flashing CM12 over the firmware I'm using now (stock Android 5.0, from the Brazilian soak test).

Thanks in advance!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
Download CM apps installer from PlayStore and install DSP manager using that.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorStrange96:
Man, just the app alone is useless without the libs (I have CM11's libs here, but I don't know if they work). But thanks for helping, anyway.

Found a working one here (it's for the Nexus 5, but should work fine on other Snapdragon-powered devices). Had to modify it a bit, though. (oh, and thanks a lot [MENTION=3873953]eng.stk[/MENTION] for creating this mod, you just saved my life here :p)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nisiomorais:
Can I install in my rooted, stock recovery 1033? I´m on soak 5,0
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorStrange96:
Yes, but you'll have to modify the zip to avoid potential conflicts/issues. Open it, and inside it, delete the audio_policy.conf file inside the etc folder. You can keep the vendor folder if you want. Apart from backing up some files, that's the only thing you need to do before flashing.

This mod won't disable Motorola's Audio Effects app.

I suggest you back up these files:

audio_effects.conf (located at /system/etc)

audio_policy.conf (also located at /system/etc)

all soundfx libs (/system/lib/soundfx)

Edit: Can you post the original audio_policy.conf here, please? I just lost mine, and now I need to use a modified one for DSP Manager to work.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorStrange96:
No, man. The original is the stock one, the one that came with the ROM itself, not the one that came inside the zip.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorStrange96:
Huge thanks, bro! I just rebuilt my audio_policy.conf based on this, and it worked perfectly.

Well, since all my requests were answered, and I was able to get what I wanted, now I ask, can any of you moderators close this thread for some time?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] invader138:
My Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G took a dump tonight. It crashed and rebooted [normal shut off to black screen and turn back on kinda crash]. Not totally unheard of, it's electronic so things happen. Anyway, I sit there holding it while watching tv waiting for it to come back on and it doesn't! It sits at the screen that says "Samsung GALAXY S RELAY 4G exclusively from T-Mobile". I work with computers everyday so I know this a bad sign. I try a full power cycle by removing the battery and that didn't help. I tried just letting it do it's thing while I ate dinner and that didn't help. So I start Googling and just about the only stuff I can find is how to root the phone. I find things about booting to Safe Mode [didn't work, same result], things about rooting [hangs up at the Downloading... screen] and things about factory reset [not my 1st choice but it's already broke]. So I try to boot into the restore mode and it says:

failed to mount /system (invalid argument)

So I'm kinda lost. Basically the phone won't boot up, it won't boot safe mode and I can't get it to boot to recovery. Any help from the wise android community?

This is an official...not a rooted one.
