Just because whatever you are using isn't cooperating with the 5.0 update, doesn't necessarily mean it's the update.

Have 5.0.1 on my Nexus 7, and 5.0.2 on my Nexus 9. Full screen video streaming works in every streaming app I've used (and there are many), volume rocker controls media volume when media is in use perfectly (when else would you need direct access to it?), and most apps worth downloading added ART compatibility some time ago but that's not to say that they are all updated yet (and many probably won't be, simply because development is slow or inactive on plenty of apps).

Don't discourage people from testing out newer builds because of a few silly things you can't figure out. And it is a Nexus after all.. You can basically flash any and every thing to your hearts content, and can surely find some combination that works for you.

If you're on stock, try something custom. If custom, try stock.

I'm not using an official rom, but I'm on 5.0.2 and the ONLY thing that is not working is google play movie STREAMING only.

I can still cast and download

Other than that it's more stable and a lot faster than 4.4..... did I mention Lollipop is also prettier?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] idCyber:
How can it be faster than KK if even Google confirmed the Memory Leak ? Android 5 allocates a chuck of memory for a system task of ~1.2GB RAM and doesn't release of when it's needed elsewhere, and only a reboot can temporarily fix it until it blocks it again? After Google releases the fix to AOSP and factory images, then maybe LP will be considered as stable.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kindofabuzz:
I think it depends on the device. I've had no crashes, reboots, lockups, or anything like that on Lollipop. N7 2013

That's why it's recomennded to unlock the bootloader instantly after buying an Android-Device.

You can downgrade without problems and create N'android/W Backups into 1 File.

This ^^^

Tried a few different 5.x.x images (clean flashed) and personally I feel it's not ready for prime time, battery is worse, UI is lagged, and over all there seems to be a lack of compatibility and some poor design choices. Backed up my apps and re-flashed back to 4.4.4. Perhaps the next bigger version bump will get things to the point where I will try it again but for now this works for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] just lou:
It doesn't affect every device, and AOSP developers patched the leak in their ROMS anyway.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Well one scenario is when you want to jump in bed with a sleeping wife and watch some youtube or facebook. You don't want to start a video with audio blaring. I use Lollipop on my N7 and it is annoying.

I use a custom basic stock lollipop rom.

Overall it is ok. I am not sure about the notification panel. It looks too iPhoney. I can tell you that I am in no rush to get it on my phone.

The Lockscreen is annoying. It rotates and the swipe to unlock is only a specific way (up). So sometimes while laying in bed, the screen will rotate and won't unlock. I have to rotate it back and make sure to swipe before it rotates. I like being able to swipe in any direction without a target similar to the Galaxy line and others.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fury683:
Settings > Sound and Notification > First item is media volume.

I used Gravity Box on my N7 before Lollipop and I did have the option set to force media volume when I used the rockers. I still use it on my Moto X 2013. I got used to it, though. I also use an app called Slider Widget, which has a 1x1 widget that when tapped, shows the media volume and you can then use the rockers to adjust (or slide with your finger on screen) for adjustments when I'm not already playing audio.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Look, we all know how to work around it. Again with my example... what if the very first sound was blaring. On Kitkat, you could use the physical volume rocker, expand audio volume settings, and manually make adjustments from anywhere before even loading audio or video.

With Lollipop being incompatible with XPosed... you are forced to do some round about way of controlling the volume for various medias.

And no... reflashing or wiping is not going to magically install a new feature.

5.0.2 works just fine on my Nexus 7 2013. Have full screen video and volume rocker controls media volume in Netflix. Confused what op is complaining about....

Hey all!

This is kinda broad and vague form of asking for some serious Android Visual Mods, not digging upto the kernel tweaks and rom's. But the launcher tweaks and other addons. I know every bit of the users have their sort of inspirations and favorite modder/designers on board. I've been seeing a lot of daily homescreen customizations at mycolorscreen website, But I neither want the themer app to decompile them.

If you've got your shot of daily inspirations or any source elsewhere, please do share. Your favorite launcher with the range of wide usability concerned, icon packs and widget customizations and designing, favorite icon packs designer.

A screenshot of the screen's would be more informative. I hope this thread won't be counted to sharing the current homescreen/lockscreen shots.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Try to download the RUU again. Or try a different one (if you tried 1.58, try 2.23 RUU, or vice versa).

Or try the bootable RUU posted in General.

Also, confirm the bootloader is RELOCKED.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quintaar:
Hey

For some time I was trying to make this work. I finally was able to connect ANT+ accessories to my phone and successfuly use it with Endomondo. LG based lollipop comes with ANT+ services which after installing the drivers for ANT+ from play store are able to connect. However trackers may not discover this connection as they cannot see LG as phone capable of connecting without USB accessory. When installing the USB driver required i was given 505 error. This was not the case on AOSP 5.0 or kitkat.

I have used bloat remover to remove installed ANT+ support from LG 5.0 lollipop and after this I was able to install USB driver for ANT+ (is needed for tracker apps to see your aNT+ services) after restoring ANT+ services and reboot the whole thing just worked!

So if you want to use ANT+ services you will need the LG 5.0 based rom.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangruyn:
Is there a detailed description of it ??
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRant:
The result is ANT+ through an ANT+ USB stick, or without one?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quintaar:
It is possible to receive ANT+ signal without the stick. USB driver from store is to trick endomondo into seeing your device as ANT+ enabled
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnySniper:
You sir deserve a medal!

I was trying for days to get my G3 on Lollipop to work with my Garmin ANT+ HRM and at least one of the Bigger Android Fitness Tracker Apps

With your way i finally have it working with Endomondo sports tracker! (Yes without using a separate USB dongle)

So for all others out there here is a Step by Step instruction:

Have a LG G3 with a stock based lollipop rom

Install Endomondo, ANT Radio Service and ANT+ Plugins Service from playstore

Backup the ANT HAL Service system apk for example with Titanium Backup

Uninstall the ANT HAL Service apk (Titanium Backup again)

Reboot the phone

Now you can install the ANT USB Service from the Playstore without Code 505

Reboot the phone

Now Restore the backed up ANT HAL Service apk

Reboot the phone

Now you should be able to use your ANT+ Hardware inside Endomondo sports tracker

Cheers,

Daniel

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00bhackin:
Question for those of you who may know more than I do.

I have…well had, a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 that got a shower over the weekend. The USB port is definitely fried, and who knows what other damage may have occurred, but the phone still turns on and works fine. I decided to buy a used S3 to replace mine rather than try to fix the port not knowing if that was the only problem.

Now my question, my phone was rooted at the L710VPBMD4 OTA level, I have 4.2.2 CM v10.1.2 installed on the phone, and would like to keep it that way till I make sure everything is working the way I had it.

If the new (used) phone I receive has received either the L710VPUCMK3 or L710VPUCND8 OTAs will I have any problems loading my NAND backup and TB backups to recover my phone to the point it was wet?

(luckily the phone still had enough battery power to get these done)

Added: I also used CWM Recovery v6.0.3.0 for My NAND backups, do I have to continue to use this version to recover properly from, or will it work with Philz Recovery?

If there is a problem just straight loading my backups to the phone, is there anything I can do to make it work?

I know there is a root method difference for the L710VPUCMK3 or L710VPUCND8 OTAs, I’m just concerned about being able to recover my backups at the level they are at. Right now I don’t want to have to upgrade CM until I make sure everything is right, even then I will probably only upgrade to 10.2.1, as CM11 doesn’t seem quite ready…at least from what I’ve experienced on other phones/tablets.

Thanks in advance….
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Well.....as long as the bootloader and modem weren't backed up you should be able to restore the CM11 as long as you use the same recovery......that being said you won't be able to restore the stock rom cause i believe the bootloader and modem get backed up with that one. Also it could come with the NJ3 update in which case you won't be able to root at all. I also wan't to add that i have no faith in TB for restoring app data cause that will cause problems with your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00bhackin:
I will be restoring a CM10.1.2 mod, not CM11, if that makes a difference.

So I will need to use CWM 6.0.3.0, and can not use Philz Recovery. .. Just verifying.

I’m not worried about using my old stock rom backup, I can get a new one with the new phone, my old one never had anything on it, as I loaded CM the day I got the phone new.

How can I tell if the Boot loader/Modem are a part of the NAD backup? The files I have in the NAND are:

boot.img	10,240 KB <--- would this be the boot loader?

cache.ext4.tar 0 KB

cache.ext4.tar.a	54, 238 KB

data.ext4.tar	0 KB

data.ext4.tar.a	976,563 KB

data.ext4.tar.b	976,569 KB

data.ext4.tar.c	728,600 KB

nandroid.md5	1 KB

recovery.img	10,240 KB

system.ext4.tar	0 KB

system.ext4.tar.a 350,522 KB

Is NJ3 a Sprint released OTA? It was not in their list, ND8 was listed as current. The phone I’m getting should be a sprint phone, but I won’t know what level the phone is at till it gets here Wednesday.

As for TB restore, I shouldn't have to since my NAND is current, but so far I’ve been lucky with TB.

[MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] do you have any advise for this person i have reached the limit of the help i can give with the experience that i have on this version of the phone....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00bhackin:
Thanks for your help, I'm trying to get as much information as I can on this before I get my "new" phone and brick it with what I am trying to do.

Once I have the phone it may not be an issue if it hasn't received OTAs, the best scenario is that is at the MD4 level, but I doubt I will be that lucky. I expect it has been updated to MK3 or ND8, which is why I am asking what I'm asking.

OK, my guess is that boot.img is not the boot loader, as I see that file in CM ROM zip files, and CM ROMs do not contain a boot loader, can anyone confirm that this is correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
no problem and if anyone can help you more then me it's Ryan since he still has the Sph-L710 and he's a Developer.....while i have the newer Sph-L710T and im on Boost Mobile
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00bhackin:
Few follow-up questions:

1)	Will CWM 6.0.3.0 work fine with the phone has been updated to MK3 or ND8?

2)	If not, can I restore a backup made on CWM 6.0.3.0 with CWM 6.0.4.5? (seems to be the latest version)

3)	If the “new” phone is on MK3 or ND8 can you still use a previous android version, like 4.2.2? (This is basically what I will be doing, but using a NAND backup to restore the phone)

4)	Will a NAND backup contain the boot loader or modem? How can I tell if mine does?

This would prevent me from being able to recover with my NADN backup, from what 6th_Hokage said, and from what other information I’ve read on this. It would brick.

Still hoping I can using my NAND backup from MD4 phone to recover to a phone that may be at a higher level. So far from all the reading I am doing on this I should be able to, as long as I don’t try to flash the firmware back to MD4. Which isn’t an issue if my NAND will work, if it won’t then I’ll just be forced to rebuild from scratch, which I am REALLY hoping to avoid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00bhackin:
Ok, after reading as much as I could last night…my head hurts…

But it looks like I can do what I hope to do, if the planets and stars align.

Best case scenario, the “new” phone I get is at MD4 and is the SPH-710 variant. (doubt I can get that lucky)

If the phone is the SPH-710T – It goes back and I’m out of luck, as it’s a crap shoot buying a used phone when they don’t make a distinction between the 710 and 710T (Thanks 6th_Hokage, when you mentioned the 710T and on Boost Mobile, I figured it was a variant for them and VM, not for sprint, I’ve found out it is a sprint branded phone too)

If the phone is a 710 variant and even if it has been upgraded to MK3 or ND8 I should still be able to use my NAND backup to recover my old ROM (4.2.2 CM v10.1.2).

I should be able to use either CWM 6.0.3.0 or CWM 6.0.4.5 on the new phone to restore my NAND that was made with CWM 6.0.3.0… even if the phone is at MK3 or ND8.

My NAND should not contain the boot loader or modem, but I’m not sure how to tell. If it does, I’ll need to figure out how to make a NAND that exclude them. How can I tell if my NAND contains these? (because if it does and I restore, it will brick, if on MK3 or ND8)

If anyone can provide some insight on this that would be great.

Thanks,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00bhackin:
Next on the list of my research findings.

I have found conflicting information, in one post I found that I would get an asset error if I try to install CM 10.1.2 (or I think any 10.x version) when on either MK3 or ND8. Then in another port I read that there should not be a problem installing any version of CM when on MK3 or ND8.

Can anyone confirm either post? Can CM10x work on MK3/ND8? Or will an assert error get thrown?

If an assert error is thrown only during install, I wonder if I bypass this by using a NAND restore like I plan, since the “install” of CM has already occurred, and I am just restoring a backup.

You may ask yourself why I am going through all this to recover an older version of CM. Well my phone was completely stable where it was, it did everything I needed to without error. While I’ve considered upgrading, that always seems to introduce issues, and I needed a smooth working phone over some of the stated benefits of CM11.

Great to hear it will work, now just have to hope they didn't send me a 710T variant...Will know tomorrow.

Hopefully it will work the same with CWM, as that is what my backup was made by, I've read that CWM and TWRP backups are not compatible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Correct, not to mention TWRP doesn't mount or storage correctly anyway. I suggest using Philz, it's a zero issue recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00bhackin:
Will Philz correctly restore a CWM backup?

If not I'll have to stick with CWM until I get everything back working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Well PhilZ is literally a touchscreen CWM and every time I made a backup with it the folder where the backup was is called "Clockworkmod" or "CWM" I can't remember the exact wording cause I've been using a beta TWRP made for the L710T
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00bhackin:
OK partial success, significant failure.

New phone received, it was an SPH-710 model, but was at ND8. But from what people have commented and what I read this wasn’t going to be a problem.

SO I rooted the device, all went well.

Restored my NAND backup, all went well.

Restored back to stock for activation, trouble started. IMEI information is gone !!

Restored back to CM10.1.2, IMEI information is there, but it contains the previous owner’s phone number.

I am able to activate the phone, everything seems to go fine.

I reboot and get data, I can receive data. I rejoiced.

I tried a text, fail.

I tried a call, fail…the rejoicing ended.

Checking phone status the person’s old phone number is still associated with the phone.

Normally this would be taken care of in stock by doing a profile reset. So Im not at a loss..

I need to see if I can recover the IMEI information in CM and transfer to Stock to do a reset on the phone to get it to activate right.

Any Ideas? I'm going to start a new thread just on this question, as this one was more about recovering my old phone to the new one.
