Calling all Firefox OS enthusiasts!

Want to participate in the roadmap of Firefox OS? We're interviewing community members to see what items in particular excite you. We want to work with you 1-on-1 to get your feedback, which will help us decide on what to focus on. We'll also be doing user testing, where we run our proposed designs by you and see if you like them.

If your ideas make it into the roadmap, or we find your feedback really helpful, we'll ship you a Flame device loaded with the latest Firefox OS. We might even ship you a Z3C instead.

Interested? Please PM me and we'll set something up. I'm available via Skype. Looking forward to your participation!

Thank you for the reply. It is good to know I have another option for installing the OS.

Hi Everyone,

I just flashed the July 12th fastboot build and, from my initial impression, it seems to be more responsive than previous builds (less sluggish). I am definitely happy with it so far. Is that the same experience everyone else is having?

Thank you Vosky for another great build.

what about the camera? Is the camera not freezing anymore like it does in the July 8th?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MintChipMadness:
Hi Thatoo,

I took some pictures and recorded a short video earlier today to test and it appears to be working fine. When does the camera freeze for you? I can try the same steps and see if I can get my camera to freeze too.

If yu could take pictures and record film, then you don't have the same problem... My screen show about 1 or 2 pictures per second...

You flashed the July 12th build? But Vosky removed it because it's not booting... How did you do?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyoome:
He used fastboot :).

Vosky seems find what's wrong with the recovery roms, so they will be back very soon ;)

Hi,

Since 2015-07-16, I have this problem in "Quick settings" :

the text is displayed to the right of the icon bar in the "quick settings".

- My phone : Nexus 5 LG

- builds : Nightly (since 2015-07-16)

- Data were wiped

- ROM: Recovery with TWRP

- Bugzilla id=1186127

Does anyone here uses the same configuration as me and has this problem ?

Thanks

sorry for the double post ...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikehenrty:
Hi guys, sorry I'm late to the party. I can tell you the difference between Hackerplace Apps and Marketplace Apps since I work on the Hackerplace. The difference is permissions. Marketplace apps aren't allowed to access any Certified APIs (I can't post a link to this since I'm a newb, but search on MDN for Certified API) for security reasons. But when you turn on Developer Mode and install an APP from the Hackerplace, that app gets access to the Certified permission level (same as what other pre-installed Gaia apps get). This means that apps installed from Hackerplace can do crazy things like replace your built in dialer, or have access to low level Bluetooth APIs, modify settings on your device, etc. It is a playground for apps with more power than our security team would allow in public :)

Hackerplace and Developer Mode are going to be killed soon. This was just our way of testing out certain Hacker features. In the next release of Firefox OS (2.5), we will put add-ons in the Marketplace and change some of the permissions requirements too. Feedback is always welcome with this stuff. And if anyone would like to get involved, feel free to reach out to me at: mikey(at)mozilla.com :)

Can I use Nexus 5 with FFOS as promised

Hello,

I am looking at this thread and trying to reply to the developer who started the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/nightly-firefox-os-t2960953

I would like to know if most of the phone hardware works for these ROMS (camera, telephony, wifi, 3G/4G, GPS and accelerometer are minimum). If this is indeed true, I can purchase Nexus 5 and flash it with these ROMS.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyoome:
Hi,

So yes, the hardware support of FFOS on Nexus 5 is good. The only thing which doesn't work is led notifications. BUT, FFOS drains battery quicker than Android 5 on this phone.

One day, one charge.

Bugs

Hi,

I've using the nightly builds since a week a I found it is very stable. I like it a lot but there are some bugs:

pinch to zoom does not work for me (in Gallery and Camera App)

FOTA do download but they don't install?! I get the same build date in the device infos after an "update"

the compass seems to be incorrect. It is not accurate.

Thank you for providing the builds! I really appreciate this!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyoome:
Thanks zefanjas for the report.

indeed, pinch to zoom doesn't work on Gallery and Camera app. You can try to report it on Mozilla bugzilla if you want :)

I don't know if FOTA on nightly builds work, I use 2.5, I will try to know it.

Which compass are you talking about ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielrocher:
Hi,

I think this bug has already been reported : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1181064

FOTA Updates fail

Hi,

FOTA does not work for me. The updates fail with this error:

assert failed sha1_check(read_file("/system/lib/libmndnssd.so")

How can I fix this? I flashed the nexus with the latest android base (5.1.1 (LMY48I)) before installing FxOS.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyoome:
Hi zefanjas,

Thank you for the report. Indeed, we have some troubles with FOTA on >2.2 roms that we need to report (FOTA on 2.1 works).

We have also some troubles to generate .ZIP flashables for 1.4, 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 roms I guess. So, for these roms, the best is to use fasboot and the fastboot images, at least for now :).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3473:
Open an app on the stock Google Now launcher, it's instant. Do it with Nova/Apex/Action launcher etc... there's a split second delay. Action is the best in this sense though, probably because it's been rewritten for Lollipop

Does anyone know of a third party launcher that is actually as fast as the Google Now launcher? And more importantly, is actually using Lollipop code, and isn't an old kitkat launcher

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechBSwift:
You must did something wrong because nova is just as fast if not faster than stock. Change the animation speeds in nova if you want quicker transitions

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renny083:
Agreed about Nova, change animation in nova to faster than light as its called then it will be faster than stock.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
There is definitely a certain fluidity or smoothness to the stock launcher over all others I agree on that. But I think nova is very very close when you set animations to normal. I personally like a little animation and like to see it. It just feels weird turning them off or setting them to super fast speeds. Looks off
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobyman7035:
Agree… I like the relaxed ☺ nova setting with cube animation
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digweed4me:
If you go to Nova settings/look and feel/set the speed to faster than light to all three settings and it's faster than stock Google launcher or any launcher.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3473:
It really isn't.

On Google Now launcher, when you open an app it's instant

On Nova, when you open an app,

the icon lights up

(delay) and then the app opens. Changing animation times won't fix that

what should i do to fix it please?

i really need your help.

thx.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OschivoS4:
I read that you can switch between CDMA and CDMA/LTE, if you go into dialer and hit *#*#4636#*#* and then go to Phone Information, you actually have the ability to turn LTE on/off. I dont know exactly how it works, or witch option you should chose, so please search XDA for more info before doing this.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
You flashed wrong firmware for your device (and don't lie telling me this is an OTA update. Over-the-air programming (OTA) refers to various methods of distributing new original software updates for your own device). Do you own a i9515 or a i9195? Take off the battery and under you will see your model. (pic attached)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilad2211:
i swear that i didn't flash anything.

i was update it from 4.2 to 4.4.2 maybe it was from kies and not from ota i don't remember.

it's GT-I9195 that's what write there (and sorry for my big mistake of the diffrent model).

what version i need (if there is no other solution for this)?

can i just update without wipe or i have to wipe it?

1. You will have to flash this firmware via ODIN: HERE.

2. Dial *#1234# again when the process finish.

3. Have to appears this:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] webUrchin:
I'm in England and I've just inherited an 02 XDA Mini S mobile phone,

but I'm having problems making calls on it. I have tried using it

with 02 pay as you go and monthly subscription sim cards, but with both cards the device claims that it fails to find a network.

If I switch to using a vodaphone subscription sim card then it finds a network just fine, but if I try to make any calls it fails to ring the destination number and the call is reported on the XDA as ending with a call time of 0 seconds. Also, it won't receive any calls, but strangely it does receive texts although, again, I can't send any.

All of the cards that I've tried work perfectly in other phones and the phone itself was working fine before I inherited it.

I've tried a soft reset and a hard reset, but the symptoms persist.

Can anyone give me any clues as to what the problem might be and how

to fix it.

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cdrider:
choose a network, voda or o2 and give them a call. Probably your best bet
[Zooper Widget General] brownblack:
It's been well over a year since MyColorScreen acquired Zooper, and Zooper's online presence is STILL a hideous mess. The official links at the Google Play store are broken, and even some of the reference links on this forum's sticky are dead. I can't even find an official blog post that isn't less than a year old. Zooper's documentation wasn't that good to begin with, and it looks like MyColorScreen has done absolutely nothing to improve it.

Here's my fear:

MyColorScreen is going to mothball Zooper so it won't compete with one of its future pet products (themer maybe). Zooper requires a huge time investment to use properly, and I don't want to lose that investment. I've been burned by this exact scenario with other successful apps.

PROVE ME WRONG, MYCOLORSCREEN... PLEASE! Get your support and reference material in one place and make it available. Communicate your plans for Zooper. If you're just "parking" the app until you figure out a business plan, then say so. We're on your side, so please don't screw us over.
[Zooper Widget General] Severus15:
Yeah.... You are so true.

But I have to add that they don't do anything to improve the App. Even their Promises regarding Zooper are just empty words. They promised to add multiple Timezone support, but nothing happens.... Still only possible for text....
[Zooper Widget General] brownblack:
Well, they have apparently fixed their broken links. But their web presence is still awkward. Every link at the Play store points you to a support page which has a feedback forum, yet doesn't even mention these XDA forums. So is XDA still relevant? And one of the top hits from a google search takes you to the old zooper.org page which indeed directs you to these XDA forums. But a few people are still trying to post on the defunct zooper.org archives!

So as far as I can tell, there are 3 separate zooper forums that are unaware of each other. It's this kind of disjointed mess that makes me worry about the future of the product line.
[Zooper Widget General] bterrill:
I wouldn't of upgraded to pro had I known it was going to be abandonware myself. It was the first, and one of the few, apps I've upgraded to pro. Even if an update was months away it would be nice to know there's something going on.
[Zooper Widget General] jr67:
Update just released. So far it looks to be just a ui update but at least its something.
[Zooper Widget General] brownblack:
The Google Play store is showing version 2.58 (Nov 2014) as the latest. Do you know of something more recent?
[Zooper Widget General] jr67:
Sorry, it must be a beta update. You can join the beta google+ group to get access. As far as I can tell its just a UI update nothing more.
[Zooper Widget General] bterrill:
Well it's something I guess. I never digged too deep and didn't even know someone bought this out a while back or whatever. Damn shame there's not more work being done though. I'm not on zooper beta but not even sure what ui would need updated unless there's finally support for better weather location things.

I guess I'll join the bandwagon on hoping work that matters to most of us is done .... eg variables and what not. I would even pay 4.99 or 5.99 for a diff version that had 3 updates a year to stuff that's fun to mess with. I must of spent the first 2 months straight on my galaxy playing with zooper... like hours on end

Thanks for the info jr67
[Zooper Widget General] scofro79:
Zooper is awesome!

While I agree that updates are great and there are things that would be nice to have added, I think the app is pretty awesome as is. I rarely feel like I run out of opportunities for new ways to customize my phone and tablet because it lends itself to so many possibilities. Now if they would only update their app Media Utilities to work correctly with Android Lollipop (Zooper can't display cover art and music information at the same time with Lollipop), I'd be all smiles!!
[Zooper Widget General] firebirdfilms:
MyColorScreen kinda died

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but according to my sources, MyColorScreen is dead and it's likely that they won't be coming back. I talked to a former MyColorScreen employee, about how to get a human response from MyColorScreen, and here was the interaction (Via Twitter)

[MENTION=4866842]MarcoJHB[/MENTION] I need a little help. How can I get in contact with mycolorscreen and get a human response?"

"@burner_studios sad to say but MCS is pretty much dead. Anything I can help with though?"

[MENTION=4866842]MarcoJHB[/MENTION] not really, but thanks for the info!"

Here is a link to the conversation.

https://twitter.com/burner_studios/status/631000884072349696

Why do I believe this?

1. MyColorScreen's last tweet was "All good things must come to an end. Follow [MENTION=4866842]MarcoJHB[/MENTION] to stay updated with his new ventures! https://youtu.be/kxFyq1I-g-I #dontstopcustomizing" and proves that the source is trustworthy.

2. The last update to Zooper Widget (free and pro) was 11/3/2015, Media Utilities was last updated 18/12/15, and Themer, MyColorScreen's main product, is no longer avalible on the Play Store.

3. The Zooper Widget beta community has a very old icon

4. The official MyColorScreen community had it's last "Screen of the day" post 19/3/2015.

5. The last "Question of the day" post in the aforementioned community was 19/3/2014.

6. Again with the aforementioned community, Marcos Agas is still a co-owner, despite him no longer being employed with MyColorScreen.

7. Again with the MyColorScreen Google+ community, there is essentially no moderation whatsoever.

8. MyColorScreen CEO Ashvin Dhingra last posted on Google+ 30/4/2014.

9. Ashvin's LinkedIn profile says "Co-Founder & CEO at Themer by MyColorScreen (acquired by IAC)"

10. On the Zooper Widget uservoice website, under "Report a Problem" you will find an item with 111 votes (As of this post) named "Editing interface HUGE lag" which is a bug that appears to be occurring on devices primarily running lollipop. It was reported on 5/5/2015, however I can testify that this has occurred on devices running 4.4 as early as 2014.

Based on that, I'd say that the information is fairly trustworthy.

So I suppose, the real question is, "What is OUR future with Zooper Widget?"

Are we going to decompile and update it ourselves, just like with steam?

Are we going to look for a new design tool to use?

Are we all just going to switch to using KLWP?

because I may know what the future of Zooper Widget is from the perspective of MyColorScreen, but we have great developers in this community that could keep the app going now that MCS stopped doing so.
[Zooper Widget General] ewa12321:
That sad news, I dont like KWLP I stay with Zooper Widget I made like 200+ widgets. I hope someone acquire ZW and gonna develop it further

Has anybody tried Make Your Own Clock Widget? It seems to do a lot more than just clocks
[Zooper Widget General] firebirdfilms:
I completely agree with you on that front. I already have invested so much into zooper widget development that I'm willing to push it to, and far past its limits. Although I don't expect IAC to let someone else acquire zooper widget until the profits from it begin to decrease.

But yeah zooper hasn't hit the end of its lifespan just yet. In the end it's developers that decide when that happens.
[Zooper Widget General] ewa12321:
What other widget maker I can recommend is Buzz Widget. Easy to use some functions are really cool wish to have some in Zooper Widget: bigger preview, tap hold and move object with your finger (optional), filter widgets by show only clocks, weather widgets, music widgets etc only disadvantage is that to share download stuff from other people it's recommend to download Buzz Launcher and idk if it works with Tasker and no support with Kolorette :(. Worth trying.

Maybe UCCW lots of skins similar to Zooper

That's not fair, Themer got update and Zooper Widget nothing since March
