[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jolo100:
Nexus7 and lollipop

This is where I get confused and think that I am overcomplicating things.

I don't know if I have a custom recovery installed? I assume that I would have had to have made one. :confused: :eek::rolleyes::crying:

How can I check? In Nanroid?

Can I make a new one?

It is great if I don't have to remove the root to upgrade to lollipop. When I was promoted by Google to update to lollipop, it failed, because I was rooted.

The bottom line is that I want to upgrade to 5.x and want my Nexus 7 rooted. :good:

Please tell me what information you need.

Thank you,

Jon
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Alright, so the fact that your Nexus received the prompt to update tells me that you do not have custom recovery installed.

What you are going to want to do (easiest way to update as far as I am concerned) is just flash a factory image from Google. In order to do this, you will need to get your hands on a few things first:

1.) Windows PC/Laptop

2.) Micro USB cable

3.) ADB and Fastboot files (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)

4.) Factory Image from Google for Lollipop for the N7 (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images - If you have the 2013 N7, get the one that says 5.0.1 (LRX22C) under the heading "Factory Images "razor" for Nexus 7 [2013] (Wi-Fi)")

5.) ADB/Fastboot USB drivers (your Nexus should install them when plugged in while booted to the Bootloader)

Now, download the ADB and fastboot files. Go to that thread, and follow the instructions to install ADB and Fastboot SYSTEM WIDE so that ADB and Fastboot will work from any directory (makes the rest of this process VERY easy). Once you run through that installer, and everything is good, download the system image listed above. Once it is downloaded, go to the directory it was downloaded to, and UNZIP it (right click it and select Extract here, or open the file and select Extract All).

Now, power off your N7, and then power it on, holding VOLUME DOWN. You will be booted into the BOOTLOADER, this is known as FASTBOOT MODE. Now, connect USB cable to the Nexus 7. The computer will probably say "Installing Device Driver Software". Let it finish. Now, press the START button, and in the search box, type CMD. A command window will open up. Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot devices".

Now it should show something like this:

List of attached devices
HJFK54HSWE fastboot

If it says nothing, then the drivers are not working. Reply back to this thread, and I will explain how to update the drivers (don't want to confuse you now). Now assuming that everything is working correctly, all you still have to do is flash the 5.0.1 factory image. Close the command window that is open, and go to the directory where you downloaded the factory image. There is a file inside that folder called "flash-all.bat". With the tablet connected and in fastboot mode, double click the flash-all file. That will do EVERYTHING necessary to flash the factory image, and your tablet will reboot in lollipop.

Now, I don't think this will overwrite the root. If it does, and when you reboot, SuperSU or Superuser (whichever you were using before) isn't in your app draw, then reply here, and we will root you up.

"Factory Images "razor" for Nexus 7 [2013]

Why the hell is it named 'razor' in DL area?? This machine is 'FLO', right???
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nhizzat:
Razor is the name for all 2013 Nexus 7s. From there, you have deb and flo to differentiate between the LTE and Wi-Fi models.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Actually, Razor is Google's code name for the Flo, and the Deb is the RazorG. Just like the Nexus 9 is the Flounder on XDA and Volantis on the Google image site. There are almost always two code names for Nexus devices (the community code name, and then Google's, just to keep everything as confusing as humanly possible..)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jabbermacy:
^^ LOL, but how totally stupid. In their own factory images download area, there are SEPARATE download areas for WIFI/LTE... why in God's name don't they use DEB/FLO? -______-

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rassilon7:
Hi,

I am using a Moto360 with my Xperia Z2 in Macau China. I have a UK Google play store account and have turned on Google Now cards.

What I can't seem to figure out is how to spoof "Location based reporting"? When I try to turn it on, I get the message that Location based reporting is not available in my region: Macau.

I want to use Google Fit with the Moto360, but it won't happen unless somebody has some advice. Google Now is not officially supported in Macau either, but that was easy to fake. Do I need to do the same process? I don't want to lose my Google Now access!

Any advice gratefully received.

Hundreds of FREE MS-DOS games possibly playable on Fire TV

I saw a story yesterday about Archive.org having MS-DOS games playable on your browser with no extensions or other extra downloads needed, it works nicely on my computer, then today I thought about my Fire TV, would it work? Here is what I've found so far.

My setup:

Amazon Fire TV - Rooted, no CFW

Software version: 51.1.1.0_user_511069920

USB Keyboard (Rii i8 Mini 2.4GHz Wireless Touchpad Keyboard with Mouse)

Amazon Fire Game Controller

Firefox 32.0.1

Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.47

Open Firefox

go to: https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos

click on game you want to play

I've tried 2 games so far, Oregon Trail and Wolfenstein 3D. Oregon trail seems to work just fine with the USB Keyboard, it even works full screen. Wolfenstein 3D does detect the Amazon Fire Game Controller after a button is pressed, but it doesn't seem to work, even after the suggested refresh. If I try to use the keyboard I get stuck on the input menu and the only way out is going to the Fire TV home screen. Might be worth taking a look at, maybe someone can find the games that work or a way to make them work, maybe a different setup or keyboard will work better.
[Fire TV General] superkoal:
Why don't you use an emulator instead?
[Fire TV General] Magnesus:
Just try DosBox - there are various versions for Android, I bet at least one will work. I remember using it on a much slower hardware with success (Tegra2 tablet).

Is there any way to stop the Chromecast from downloading those screensaver photos? It chews into my limited data plan if I leave the Chromecast powered on by the wall plug.

I wonder why you have chromecast in first place if you have limited data plan ??
[Google Chromecast] peejayw:
Because I use it to cast from my devices.
[Google Chromecast] shobuddy:
Disabling the screensaver should be an option on Chromecast. Constantly downloading new screensaver images in the background 24/7 when the device is not being used makes no sense to me.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] U+1F4A9:
Does anyone know if it' s possible to use the SW3 to control MyTracks (or some other GPS app) on the phone rather than using the integrated GPS in the SW3? I realize that the GPS is one of the main reasons why people choose this watch, but let's say that your watch battery is getting low while your phone has plenty of charge, so you'd rather use your phone's GPS. Of course you could just pull the phone out, but for the sake of argument let's say that it's inconvenient to get to your phone. For example, you're on a hike and it's in your backpack or you're out on the water and it's in a waterproof bag. So you just want to use the watch to control MyTracks on the phone. I guess this is probably not a real common use case, but I was hoping it would be possible.

I did an experiment yesterday to try and find out. I turned Location off in the SW3 settings, and then I opened the MyTracks app on the SW3. Surprisingly, MyTracks started up and let me start recording a new track. The distance traveled was even updating as I walked around. I left it on for a while, and the quick battery drain on the watch seemed to indicate that the SW3 GPS was actually on even though location had been disabled. It makes me wonder what the location on/off setting even does if it doesn't prevent an app from turning on the GPS (anybody know?). However, when I tried to pause or stop recording the track, it wouldn't let me. I would press the pause/stop button, and nothing would happen. MyTracks stayed running and recording, and I couldn't swipe it away. I finally had to just reboot the SW3 to get it to stop. The track that had been recording disappeared and never transferred to my phone. Maybe I'll try it again if I have time in the next few days, but I guess the first experiment wasn't too successful.

Won't Boot with SuperSu by Chainfire

Hi all, I have issues booting after updating from nightly to nightly. Here's the situation:

After updating from any CM12 nightly to a newer CM12 nightly, my tablet gets stuck on the boot splash screen (the one where it says Google and has the lock icon at the bottom) and I can't boot at all. I have tracked the issue to SuperSu by ChainFire. My SuperSu settings are attached below. Is this just me or is it everyone else too?

Aparently there is a misunderstanding as to what is a bug and what is not.

Please do not state there is a bug directly, ask if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. If more people are then we can call it a bug, if not, then it has to be something you are doing.

These phones are just like computers, You can have 2 very identical units, but the way a person uses it will effect the way the device works. Alot of times, bugs reside in what the user does and not with the applications themselves.

I too have found interesting settings in a program that I had been using for awhile and thought, oh that sounds cool, let me check that.

This changes the whole experience.

So please, for the sake of developement and troubleshooting, When posting a possible bug, please include any registry modifications and what applications you have installed. Also, post any settings and version numbers for the applications you are having issues with. This helps the people trying to help you out with troubleshooting and locating these so called bugs.

Thank you for your time.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeChNoC4AzY:
Okay well. Right now i have the oneplus one. Its a great phone and i like it and all... But no android l support yet (no cm12s), my touch screen is going bad, support is eh... and im just wanting to buy something that has been improved over many years... And is reliable. opo is kinda new.. with a single device.

So i thought of the nexus 6. It looks and feels amazing (as i have held/saw one) scores really nice on benchmarks despite the quad hd display.

My opo currently has the bamboo back (swap cover) and its in perfect condition, should be worth a good amount, and i get paid soon. So now i am tempted to buy the nexus 6.

Afew questions.

Firstly, I am all about having fast/latest hardware, so here is where my concern comes in. Is this nexus 6 a first of a soon soc snapdragon 805? Because i remember when the nexus 5 was out, half a year later there was a much better soc snapdragon 801. I know the nexus 6 will be fast, but i am just thinking ahead..

Next, is $700+ (as i would get the 64gb one) worth it?.. Its a HUGE jump from the previous $400 32gb nexus 5.. I thought nexus devices were always going to be cheap.. I mean, a bigger screen, a better build quality and snapdragon 805.. that's about all.

Middle, Will it be worth alot by next year when the next nexus arrives? (for resale purposes)

And lastly, should i just go for the nexus 6? And stay in the nexus line.. Or wait for a snapdragon 810 model phone to release.. As 64bit is arriving this year.

PS: Is metro PCS supported?

That's about all i am wondering..

Thanks for anyone that can help me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Snapdragon 810 is just around the corner, the LG G Flex 2 will be using SD 810. You can have the best hardware possible but if the software is not optimized for it then that hardware is not fully utilized to its fullest potential. In my opinion, get a phone with good development support from the community, not a phone because it has better specifications.

The question of the N6 being "worth it" is subjective and no one can answer that but yourself. You posting a thread in here will attract people say "yeah its worth it, get it ASAP" because you're in Nexus territory but if you're in the OPO territory, they would say no because OPO has a better value. Both phones have its pros and cons, the decision of whether the "N6 is worth it" is not as black and white.

Will it be worth a lot? I don't predict the future, but it most likely will retain a large % of its value. Nexus 5 is still a popular phone and people are still buying them.

Should you go for the N6? I already answered this. I personally was using the OPO and switched to a N6, the OPO community is great but it was no where as good as the Nexus line of devices. Snapdragon 810, don't really care about it unless a Nexus has its name to it.

If development is something you care about when it comes to a phone, a Nexus won't disappoint.

MetroPCS... do the research on your own and compare bands.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Not going to lie though, the opo is a great value phone where the specifications don't compromise. It's a very hot phone and the development is pretty good as I've owned one. The development is better than some of the other non nexus devices.

Essentially you're paying to have a bigger screen and front facing speakers as well as a number of other features such as turbo charger.

But you're losing, notification led (can be enabled on n6), ips for a amoled, battery life.

Opo battery life is much better than n6 by 1 hour sot in my personal experience. I still prefer the n6, I love the big size phone and I can't see myself using a screen that isn't as wide.

Ultimately, the choice is up to you. My recommendation is go to a t mobile store and play with the demo. Although, the size isn't a problem once you've used the phone for week, you get used to it.
