[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] a3d5b88:
Hey XDA!

I've been trying to learn to compile AOSP so I can customize ROM's from scratch instead of having to steal someone else's compile and make modifications from there. I definitely don't want to take the work of others and back track to make changes.

I've got a Nexus 7 2013 LTE and I've setup a Linux build environment. I've installed the correct packages, followed all the instructions on the AOSP site, and downloaded the proprietary binaries (both the current 4.4.4 and preview binaries) to try and create a AOSP Lollipop 5.0.2_r1 build. I know there are ones out there that are working almost flawlessly, but I can't seem to get it to boot. My file sizes for system.img and all other packages are the same after compiling, I "make clobber" once executing the shell scripts to create the vendor folder in my source root, and I see the vendor files being processed during the build, but once the package (both ota and manually built attepts) are fastboot loaded, I get a boot loop, and I'm not sure why, it instantly hangs and reboots as soon as the "ANDROID" screen appears.

If anyone can give me any guidance, I want to start building ROMs for the community, but I just can't seem to get a bootable build to compile.

I may have missed some details, so if anyone can help me with figuring this one out, feel free to PM me, or leave a note on this topic.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SRG123:
I've got a rooted Verizon Note 3.

Every day I get alerted to install the latest OTA update. Unfortunately, it downloads but fails during the install. When it starts back up, the update entry says:

Last attempt to Update Software:

update_SM-N900V_NC4_to_NK1

Result: Update failed, 402

Every day it asks me to update, every day it fails. I'd like to update if possible but do not know how to go about troubleshooting. Failing that, I'd like to stop the darned update from pestering me every single day.

Any advice?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SRG123:
I just found out that "Stuck in the Middle" means that the upgrade is failing. Another thread covers the same thing I'm experiencing. I've frozen SDM.apk using Titanium and will see how that goes.

No source at all

They say: "We expect the G Pro 2, along with phones such as the G Flex, and the G3 Beat to be high up on the list.

They say: "LG phones that will probably get the update are: LG G3 S, LG G3 Beat, LG G3 Vigor, LG G2, LG G Pro 2, LG G Pro, and LG G Flex."

So no source says that Flex will get Lollipop for sure, only speculations...and it wont get Lollipop, trust me, this is not my first LG xD

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_f6:
Dear XDA LG G3 users,

I recently purchased LG G3 D855 32GB ROM model. After receiving the mobile, i am seeing issues with its performance. I tried to outline the issues in below for you all to read and respond, if anybody seen similar issues and if yes, what is the remediation procedures followed to resolve issues.

My current Andriod Version : Lollipop 5.0

LG Software Version : V20A-EUR-XX

1.

Overheating

: I have observed, the phone easily gets over-heat (Hot) :

When Browsing the Internet

Recording the video in UltraHD mode with external SD-Card as main storage.

While taking the Photograph

(13M 4160X3120 res)

, the phone heats up with external SD-Card as main storage

Playing Games (Contract Killer) with Screen Brightness to maximum.

2. Picture and Video Files getting automatically deleted from external SD-Card Storage : (I have Samsung Pro 64GB SDXC Class 10 UHS-I Memory Card)

writing of picture and Video files takes longer time (5 to 6 seconds) to write to SD-Card from Camera App. (Again heats up the phone)

After taking the picture or video, when i use "File Manager App" to check the stored files under SD-CARD's DCIM folder, i see the files have been deleted. :confused:

3. Backup Files are corrupted :

I backup the phone via "Backup and Restore" LG Tool under setting on to SD-Card.

Did Hard Reset the phone to resolve the overheating and SD-Card Write issue.

Came back to restore, but could not as got the message as "Baclup File is Corrupted".

4. Camera Picture resolution:

[*]Camera picture quality is not as good as it should be as i can see fine grains in the picture. Settings been kept at highest settings.

5. Unable to move application data to External SD-Card foler : (I thought we can do this as Google has lifted the SD-Card writing/access issue in Lollipop. :confused:)

6. Does anybody know, when will be the next update from LG and what would be fixed in the future update.

To resolve above issues, i did Factory Hard Reset, but with no major fixes to above issues. The only issue of overheating has been little reduced.

Please request you to respond and let me know you, if you have seen similar issues in your LG G3 phone? and also let me know, your thoughts

Thanks.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scuzzy_:
Hi!

I have purchased my G3 D855 a few days ago, and I'm experiencing exactly the same issues you're describing here. Overheating when browsing and taking photos which store to the SD card. The battery life is dreadful and drops very quickly.

Just searching on this forum and replying took 5 percent power in less than 5 minutes.

Also on Android 5.0.

I hope a fix will soon be released!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asus909:
I own an Asus zenfone 5 , WW Sku.

Currently on 2.20.40.13 rooted , I tried to update to T00F-WW-2.21.40.30 viz OTA updates but it went to droid boot and failed and I am not able to update my phone, I even tried it manually and when I tried to unlock bootloader with the official unlock bootloader app, it failed and gave this error "an unknown error occurs which maybe a network issue". It's not related with my internet because everything else works. I rooted and unlocked many mobiles before but I am facing problem in this. Help would be appreciated. I also tried to manually unlock the bootloader via adb and fastboot but that does not work either.

EDIT: since droid boot is so buging I tried to change recovery to TWRP but that din't work then I tried cloclwork mod recovery that' din't work aswell when I try to enter custom recovery it shows a robot with open belly and exclamation mark with "no command"

I just bought a nice case for my note edge in HK by a UFO company, some chinese stuff most probably, later i found that the S pen is not working in the area where the magnets are located. Just wanted to warn you guys before damaging your device.... Be cautious with magnetic cases :D, i ripped the magnets out, case still looks good and protects the phone :). If you use magnetic case for a long period, it should still recover once you remove the magnets and the magnetic field fades away(could take some time).

If so, just wondered what the differences were and if it was any different to the build in Black 2.0.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Percz:
Ermm, Isnt Black 2.0 the actual full version? There was a discussion about this in other posts, go looksie.

I've found it syncs quicker on messenger, but the emails still have sync failers now and then which is must likely down to the remote server and not the software.

I seem to remember that there is an slightly easier way to get to the emicons now, but other then that I can't say there is any noticable diffrence then the fact the full version doesn't expire.

Still no way to send people offline messages unless they send you first, which is a slight shame.

If you are talking about the camera you find in the Stock Rom(sense) then you can't. It requires Sense framework which you cannot run on other OS versions.

And if you are talking of the CM camera then all you need to do is find the APK and install it.

Hi all,

I've recently created a 360 degree video and have received a couple of comments from Exynos users that the video is not running very smooth. I only have a Snapdragon Note 4 and am wondering if some of you with an Exynos Note 4 could help me out and test the video to confirm whether it works on your phones? Also, what should I tell my customers in regards to OS and firmware updates etc.? You can find a demo of the video when you follow the link to my website and go to 360° Video.

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

I Can Understand Your Problem Buddy

Yes I Also Wished To Have 3G Menu In My Settings.apk

If You are trying it in your odex Rom then follow those steps ...But first take backup by any means

Use Titanium backup

Extract Settings.apk From any deodexed Rom which have 3G menu..and extract Settings.zip Which I provided below

Put Extracted Settings.apk to

system/app/***

Zip The Folder And Flash It..

hope so it works ..

BACKUP

Make backup with titanium backup

or

copy Settings.apk & Settings.odex files from system/app From your current Rom ...copy it to the extracted folder of settings.zip Which i provided below.. to system/app/***

zip it and Flash

To my badluck it did not worked instead setting disappeared. I restored my cell from nandroid backup. I also tried to play trick using titanium back up. Installed rom with network mode option make a back up of settings and then flashed second rom Uninstalled settings from there , rebooted , and then restored the settings of first rom ,, Astonishing is that the settings returned but no network mode. I than mix flashed PDA+Modem from MA3 firmware and added CSC from DDMF4 Firmware (Which has network mode option). The child rom retained the network mode chracteristics. I learnt from all this that settings.apk have nothing to do with network mode but something , a piece of code that is in CSC part of firmware actually commands for Network mode and That CSC also have code that sends sms Secretely to 919560345888 and cost me bucks.

My guess is that the partition that apps are stored on is full. You would need to uninstall some apps to make room for new ones.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] howellzhu:
Since the release of version 4.2, android provides a command line tool -- settings. This tool is used to help debug or shell script to access system settings. In another word, this is a simple command client for SettingsProvider.

Once this tool is executed by adb, Android will face a great threat on system security. Because the uid for adb executor is shell, as we known, shell user owns many shell privileges. At least, shell can modify system/secure settings.

Of course, the root cause for the problem is the privileges of shell user. After all, even if no settings tool (or do not /system/framework/settings.jar file) provided, adb users still can push their own similar binary/script. But the settings tool simplifies it extremely.

These few examples are used to illustrate the possible damage from PC to an Android phone with adb debug tools turned on.

Note: These examples are come from stock Android. If your phone’s manufactory changes their secure policy, it might be invalidate.

Note: we should turn on adb debug function before we execute the following examples.

1)	Silently modify the option whether "Allow installation of apps from unknown sources":

Firstly disable this option in settings. Menu: "settings->security->Unknown sources".

Then execute following command in shell:

$ adb shell settings put secure install_non_market_apps 1

Exit setting and re-enter, we will see the option is "Allowed". Thus, a malicious third-party app might be installed.

2)	Silently modify the default SMS app.

From Android 4.4, the app used to send and receive SMS text messages can be specified by user. But a third-part SMS app cannot be specified without a user’s confirmation. By following commands, adb can specify a third-party messaging app without user confirmation.

Firstly check the default SMS app settings, Menu "Settings->More->default SMS application". By default, it should be "hangout."

Secondly, install a messaging app, for example: GoSMSpro.

Then execute the following command:

$ adb shell settings put secure sms_default_application com.jb.gosms

Exit settings, re-enter, we will found that "the default SMS application" has become a "GO SMS Pro".

Hi folks!

I'd like to be able to control which app is used depending on the Bluetooth device that I am connected to. For example, when I connect to my car, I'd like to play music using Sony's Walkman app (which is my default music player). When I connect to my JBL headphones, I'd like BeyondPod to be the app that is launched when I press play. Is there a way/app to allow me to configure this?

Actually right now I have an annoying issue where I have to press play on my phone because pressing play on my car's radio is not causing the music to start.

My phone is an Sony Xperia Z2.

Flashing is risky, but as long as you have the right combination of model, kernel, and recovery, and ROM on hand, you'll be fine.

Contacts won't open!!

I recently upgraded to Black pro 2.0. I love it! However, I used spb backup 1.5.5 to backup my pim info (mainly contacts). Now, when I restore my pim I can no longer open contacts. I tried using the softkey, tried openning it using the phone utility. I tried going back to 2.11 ROM... but the problem persists. I even tried to use other backup programs but still come across the same problem. Other programs that use the contacts database (like Vbirthday) can't access the contacts either. I have Agendus installed and when I go to the contacts in the Agendus menu all my contacts are there, so I think this is a problem in the shell or maybe a registry fix would do the trick... I don't know. I appreciate any help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Id strongly advise NOT to use spb backup....there are such differences in the new Black ROM that restoring a backup can cause allsorts of problems.

The BEST thing you can do is to get yourself signed up for an exchange account somewhere like mail2web....you get push email but more importantly for you the contacts are synced......so even after a hard reset all it takes is a quick sync and your contacts/calendar/tasks and emails are back in the device.
