[General Questions and Answers] Michaelkrtikos:
Hello fellow android users,

this is my first post on the xda forums as i am a new member with little experience on Android systems. The previous 5 years i was an iPhone owner and power user up until this Christmas that i decided to change the platform and switch to Android. Up until now i am much more satisfied with the openness of the android system comparing with iOS (even if jailbreaked).

I have purchased an LG G2 D802 and i have Rooted it already and installed TWRP custom recovery, i have created a nandroid backup, installed a couple of mods from this forums. I would like to personally thank all the developers for their hard work and support to new users like me!

However, like every new user, i have a couple of questions that i will like some help with but before i begin let me give you some more info about my device as it will help you give more specific answers:

Device: LG G2 D802 (International)

ROM: Stock LG ROM (i think it's called Cloudy)

Custom recovery installed: TWRP

Exrta MODS installed: SplitWindowMOD

Questions:

1) It seems that connecting my device to my windows 7 computer and copying music to "Music" folder, requires a phone reboot in order that the mp3s will show up on the device. I didn't notice if this was happening even before i root my device. Could you please let me know if there is a way to force the phone to refresh the music library (without reboot)?

2) I have the 16GB version of G2 and a Nandroid backup wastes about 2.5 GB of the 10 free that the device has. For that reason, i do a backup and then i copy it to my computer and of course delete it from my device. My question here is if in the worst case scenario that android does not boot and therefore not recognized by the computer, how is it possible to insert the backup back to the phone?

3)Is there any repository with all these MODs from XDA? Something like the jailbreak app Cydia on iOS?

4) You know in G2 the feature that comes pre-installed and it's like a small menu of apps when you slide the home button upwards... At the moment it has only Google and Quick memo. How can i add more apps there please?

That's it for the moment! Thank you very much for your answers in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Michaelkrtikos:
Anyone please?
[General Questions and Answers] Hannah Stern:
Can you please tell me, which Android-Version do you have got?

If the Backup is just a Copy of your files, the Phone will continue running.

If the backup is a single file, you can copy it back to thie phone with....

Windows Explorer!

:laugh:

Is your phone running in safe mode?

Have you got the Many-Problems-Causing-and-Bogus Android 4.4.2?
[General Questions and Answers] Michaelkrtikos:
Hello there, thanks for the reply!

I am running 4.4.2 at the moment. I have not noticed any problem with my device so far...

The backups are .win files and i have more than one... I guess it is one for System, one for Data, one for Cache and one for Boot. It is a normal backup that TWRP does... I just wondered because if the phone does not boot, the driver is not running so i thought that the phone is not even recognizable by the PC.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kreemerz:
Where can I get the UAG cases at a better cost than on their site?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jhom52:
Try Amazon. They have them for about $22.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jhom52:
I've been a UAG fan for a couple of years. I have a UAG on my Note 4. However, I decided to try a Samsung Protective Cover because of many positive reviews and because it is a bit less bulky than the UAG. I am liking it. It may not provide the same degree of protection as the UAG, but it appears to be solid and much less bulky because it conforms to the Note shape. I think it will be able to handle a moderate degree of abuse.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Noodile:
Definitely UAG is still one of the best. Best price on Amazon, unless you want free international shipping.

They also have a new wallet case, but not a big fan of it

Hi,

I just updated my phone to Android 5.0

Now I have this weird problem with the red led of the cardio sensor on the rear of the phone, now it turns on wherever on the ui (not only on S Health). Everytime I put my finger or any object to it, it turns on.

The problem is not hardware, and I have no other apps which have access to it (beside S Health and G Fit)

Please help

Thanks

[Google Chromecast] dazza417:
hey guys,

basically ive noticed that when im stream a video from my nexus 5 to my chromecast the video streams straight to the chromecast rather than stream to the nexus and then to the chromecast. In the same way that when you use the youtube app it casts directly. My question is, is there any way to have this arrangement from my mac/PC.

the website in question is a popular movie stream site.

cheers in advance
[Google Chromecast] primetechv2:
Long story short, when apps are developed for the Chromecast, a virtual webpage with the video stream is opened in the Chromecast and then the video is streamed directly into it. Simple, right?

However, when a video appears on your screen in a site not optimized for the Chromecast, the Google Chrome extension must copy the contents of your tab (that are receiving a streamed video already) into a new stream that is sent to your Chromecast with your pc as a server. This is why it's slow as dirt.

There really is no easy solution, besides

1) writing it yourself (possible but improbable and unfeasible)

2) begging the website developers to do it (and if the site is illegal, Google Corporation can censor the app or site anyway),

3) downloading the movie beforehand and use something like Plex, or

4) purchasing a video streaming service made by a corporation that has made agreements with Google Corporation and is Chromecast compatible, like Netflix or... Netflix.

I opt for ripping my DVDs, converting them to movie files with Handbrake, putting them on my laptop Plex server, and casting them from there. But that's just me.
[Google Chromecast] enmbs:
Hey primetechv2,

Please excuse my ignorance but I don't understand how can an android app like 'web video caster' can take a normal html page (not optimized for mobiles), find an embedded video and send it to Chromecast to play it directly on Chromecast. Using the same logic, a' browser app' could be designed for PCs which finds the embedded video link in a html page. The video link is then sent to the chromecast (via chrome browser if thats the only way) and a virtual page is opened in the chromecast (as you mentioned in case of mobile apps) and video is played on your chromecast. Please note that we don't want our computer to be used as a server to stream the video to Chromecast. Instead just a link to the video is extracted and is sent to the chromecast.

Am I missing something obvious here? :confused:
[Google Chromecast] primetechv2:
I don't have a perfect answer because I've never developed media apps for the Chromecast in Android, but it has something to do with the difference between writing an app that runs in Android versus one that runs on Chrome.

On Android, apps have direct access to files on your phone. They can read the files and transfer the data across a network to any device, such as a Chromecast, via a simple API.

On Chrome, for obvious security reasons no random webpage can just hijack your local filesystem. There's a chance that if media was loaded, it could be streamed via a socket or some advanced Javascript magic, but I've never seen any app that does this.

Often, apps will leverage the ability of a PC to behave as a web server, where files CAN be accessed on request and then sent to webpages. Unfortunately, Google Cast restricts Receiver pages being displayed on their hardware unless they're on a rather limited whitelist, so only domains that hvev registered with Google (e.g. http://plex.tv) can have a receiver page displayed on your Cast.

That's sorta the explanation for why apps like BubbleUPNP "hijack" Windows as a media server and as a transcoder.. As long as Android can pull transcoded media back, or perhaps allow access to the transcoded media via the Internet on a registered webpage, I've never set one up, so that's all conjecture. But I'm pretty darn sure a PC has a lot more processing power than an Android device. And when you want to send unsupported-on-the-Chromecast media from a phone to the Cast, you have to manage both the transcoding AND the streaming.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
It can do it only because the App or Site is written to support the CCast specifically where many other sites are not.

So lets cite examples of what I mean....

Web Video Caster is a CCast app that has a Player/receiver the CCast loads that can accept links from the app to display on the unit.

In the case of Websites the Embedded Player they use to play the Video has this support built in.

ESPN uses JWPlayer Pro for their site videos which has CCast support built in. JW Player has it's own Player/Receiver that gets loaded into the CCast to facilitate this.

You Tube has it's own receiver actually ON the CCast that also is similar to the JW Payer.

I believe both require the Browser you are using to be CCast aware using either an extension like GoogleCast for Chrome to let the site know to display the CCast icon. (I may be mistaken but I believe Firefox now has this capability built into the browser)

So it really is a combination of the player the site uses and the Browser that determines if CCast Support is enabled.

But in the end ANYTHING that is sent to a CCast DIRECTLY has to have a corresponding Player/Receiver app written for the CCast to send the linkage to.

It will take some time but I suspect in the future, Most of not ALL embedded players used by Websites will add this functionality in time.

Which is really all about the drive to become HTML5 compatible as much as any desire to support the CCast.

Thanks Asphyx, It makes sense now :good:.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matase:
When I first tried some CM12 build, it wasn't too stable and I went back to CM11.

I finally jumped on the CM12 bandwagon but I miss one feature from kitkat roms. Why did lollipop developers remove the ability to turn off sound AND vibration using volume keys. In cm12 I can either make my phone vibrate or have a low ring volume. I can't turn both off. Is there a mod or to be able to use volume keys to turn of vibration?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMRivlin:
Same thought/desire. How do I prevent vibration now anyway?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedlv:
Put the phone into "None" when the volume popup appears and it will suppress vibrations.

Admittedly, it also suppresses the notification light, so no interruptions (as the feature is called) go through, but that's the best answer that I have found thus far.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] twisted-pixel:
I have recenty been trialling a push email solution from Qore.

basically, I set up my email program (in my case outlook) to forward my emails to the T-Mobile email service. This service then sends me a text to indicate I have an email. The pusheffect program intercepts this text (there's no text indication etc) and then connects via GPRS to my T-mobile connection and downloads my email from my server.

works perfectly...EXCEPT, it doesn't close the GPRS connection afterwards.

so, my queston is how much (if any) data is transmitted while I'm connected via GPRS (little G with the two arrows) but not actually using it??

I don't want to find myself with a huge bill at the end of each month

Many thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Adigital:
According to GPRS data usage there should not be any data transmision if the connection is not used. No data - no traffic. If you want to be sure I would recomend GPRS Tweak (http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/product_gprs_tweak_en.htm) soft that enables you to close the connection after predefined inactivity time. That should solve your problem.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] twisted-pixel:
perfect...that'll be the gadget to have then

many thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] twisted-pixel:
at least it would have been if it worked!!

set to close connection after 10 mins...left it for 20....still connected!!

looks like I'll just have to keep doing it manually
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Adigital:
Sorry, I have been using it a short time only but been more interested in saving battery than the traffic. I'm on unlimited data tarrif so I keep the connection constantly (no major difference in power consumption).

Maybe the author has a solution?

P.S.

Did you try with the device switched off ?

The option implies that it's more the device that needs to be inactive than the connection.

Hey you pros :)

I am currently a little confused. I just got my HTC ONE m8 (dual boot) a week ago and tried since then to flash a custom rom. I unlocked my phone via htcdev and unlocked is shown. I do not have s off, because I read flashing should also work this way. I tried with twrp 2.8.1.0 on the old firmware (1.45.401.12). I did a full wipe and tried every different way, like booting into recovery via fastboot, flashing the kernel seperately. The newer version of twrp didn't work, and neither did cwm. Then I tried to update the firmware over the normal OTA way and have now version 3.33.401.6. The new twrp is working now, but i again tried all ways known to me and no one worked. Do you guys know what is wrong? I searched over google read different threads, but can't find an answer.

I would really appreciate if you could help me!

Here is the fastboot getvar all:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
So you're saying you fastboot flashed the kernel separately from the ROM itself?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devxh:
Yes, I ALSO tried this, because I read somewhere that with s on the recovery can't access /boot. I did this with the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" if that helps. In this case I used of course the kernel within the rom archive. I tried as well to (again after full wipe) just flash the *.zip archive, which had again the outcome of the bootloader appearing directly on turn on before any logo or animation.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devxh:
Info for everyone having the same problem: The problem is due to the dual sim model, which is incompatible to the standard custom roms. At the moment there is only maximus hd 2.0 for our model. Im not sure if one can change cid and get other roms to work or if there are other custom roms. If somebody knows more, I'd really appreciate a hint about that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
I think you are confused ;)

You have a dual sim (although dual boot would be nice). You need to be really careful what you do with it.

Unless stated, any other custom rom on xda (as of today) will not work on your dual sim.

As [MENTION=5900509]devxh[/MENTION] says, there are no custom roms apart from MaximusHD (we live in hope though)

Do not try any other roms.

Having said that, I have TWRP 2.8.1 and thats working fine and can recommend MaximusHD as a good replacement for stock rom.

It certainly 'feels' quicker than stock.

If you try it, make sure you update your firmware otherwise you will lose wifi

At first I would like to say that unlocking bootloader and rooting always involves risk of bricking your devices.It all depends upon you whether you want to enjoy the freedom of being root user or not.There are many fools who root their devices without properly reading manual and the steps.
