[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unlimitedbacon:
I have the Y cable and a USB battery pack. I'd like to get OTG to work with any 5.0 or 5.1 based ROM (even stock would be fine). I've tried installing CM 12.1 and a couple different kernels and haven't had any luck so far. I know that my flash drive is getting power because the light blinks. Can someone walk me through exactly how to do this?

Some of the questions I'm having:

* I'm not exactly clear on which kernels have OTG, which do not, and if an additional patch is required. I've done some searching and a lot of the information is old (for Android 4.X.X).

* Once I install a kernel thats supposed to have OTG support, do I need to enable it somewhere? In some cases I've tried installing Synapse, but I haven't found an option for it.

* Do I need to install any additional apps to use it? If not, how will I know that its working? Will any notifications show up when I plug in a USB device? Will my flash drive show up in the Cyanogenmod file manager?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unlimitedbacon:
So I finally got OTG to work with an older kernel (hells-Core-b47-kk from this thread). Problem is now the colors blue and red are swapped on screen. This is probably because its an old kernel for Android 4 and I'm on CM 12.1. Anyways, at least I was able to answer some of my own questions.

You do need to install additional apps. CM's built in file manager is useless. When you plug in a device, there will only be a notification if an associated app is installed. ES File Explorer works with flash drives.

I've tried Hell's Doctor, Matr1x, AK, and Franco's and haven't had any luck with any of them. Can someone point me at a 5.0 or 5.1 kernel that they know works, or tell me what I might be doing wrong?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Have you tried stick mount by chainfire?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unlimitedbacon:
Stickmount works for mounting flash drives but I mainly wanted OTG for other devices, so that doesn't really help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngr.hd:
Colors swapped becase you most probably flashed AOSP version on CM, try flashing the latest stable b69 CM VARIANT
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unlimitedbacon:
I see. Thanks. I kinda did the opposite and flashed stock 5.1 and the patched b47 kernel. I couldn't find anything that said mainline hell's core does OTG. Does it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unlimitedbacon:
Ok I finally figured this out. Heres everything I did:

Flash Factory 5.1 Image

Flash CWM Recovery

Root

Install Quanta v2 AOSP Kernel

Install Quanta Tweaks

Enable OTG in Quanta Tweaks

Install USB Host Diagnostics by Chainfire

Run diagnostics. It will detect an issue and magically fix it.

Nexus 4 with Android 5.1 OTG

Hi

I thought I would add my solution for Nexus 4 with Android 5.1

After rooting I used the Matr1x kernel (http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/orig-development/kernel-matr1x-v13-5-kk-4-4-t2007231

& http://matr1xkernels.com/matr1x-news/matr1x-kernel-for-android-5-0-lollipop )

This kernel has the OTG already added as well as lots of other tweaks - so far it seems OK with 5.1.1

I also had to do the trick with USB Diagnostic tool and let it try to "fix" the problem - it seems to add a missing file in the permissions directory

( https://github.com/452/USBHIDTerminal/wiki/How-to-enable-USB-host-API-support)

As far as I read the main reason that OTG was removed from the Nexus 4 was because it wasnt able to power the devices correctly.

So I would definately recommend using a powered OTG Hub.

Hope that helps someone

Thanks

Hi

I am been using Android for long time. The last Samsung mobile I used is S4 and I was using HTC M8 (Sense converted to GPe) before S6. I have my GPS is set to High because I used to use Maps for navigation a lot. But in S6, the notification panel keeps showing "Searching GPS location.." very often where I am not even using the Navigation. Is there something wrong?

Thanks

HI All,

This is not my work, I am just sharing this from Galaxy Note 4 and S5 Themes and Apps​

Thanks to [MENTION=5176708]AndroidState[/MENTION] for This Post . This guy ported S6 TW Launcher to Note 4 which is having fully transparent status bar.

First Take Back up. Please do take Back up.

Download Link S6 TW Launcher

Download the attached file, Unzip it.

To get S6 TW Launcher please follow this step:

• Rename TouchWizHome_Zero.apk to TouchWizHome.apk and replace it.

• Now replace/copy-paste lib folder from the downloaded zip file to TouchWizHome.

• For Sorting S6 Launcher apps in Alphabetical order, please see post #13

Thanks to [MENTION=2590309]kleidione[/MENTION] for This Post. This guy ported the S6 Weather widget with shadow fix.

Download Link S6 Weather

Download the attached file, Unzip it.

To get S6 Weather widget please follow this step:

• Delete the existing weather widget (AccuweatherPhone2014_K_LMR_fHD and WeatherDaemon2014_LMR).

• Copy paste the two files present in the downloaded zip into system/app

• Copy paste the S6 fonts into system/fonts. Download S6 fonts here.

• Copy paste the fallback_fonts.xml and fonts.xml into system/etc from the attached etc.zip

NOTE:

• After replacing the files, Please go to recovery; wipe the cache and then reboot.

I have attached few addtional apps of S6 which is working fine on note 3.

• SnapBiz Card [Normal Install]

• Optical Reader [Normal Install]

• Geo News [Normal Install]

• Magnifier from Note 4 Lollipop [Place it in priv-app/SamsungMagnifier]

• Galaxy Essential widgets from Note 4 Lollipop [place it in app/SamsungAppsWidget_BannerStyle_common] Once you change the Stock Note 3 Launcher, The option for Essential appa will be gone, So thyis widget might be useful, if you are using S6, N4 or N Edge TW Launcher.

Set Correct permissions

• Folder Permission: 0755 [rwxr-xr-x]

• File permission: 0644 [rw-r--r--]

Nop. No increase in emoji size of Note 3 N9005 keyboard.

Try clearing cache from recovery and launcher data from Application Manager and Reboot.

[MENTION=4226006]killa408shark[/MENTION]

Yeah. I didn't liked S6 Launcher. Bcoz so many options are missing.

Hide Application.

Disable Application.

Sorting Option.

As you can see in Screenshot SPlanner and clock changed for me.

I am using Stock ROM. And No Theme applied.

[MENTION=4601915]lordjan1986[/MENTION]

For getting Alphabetical order option try this.

Goto System/csc/others.xml

Open it.

Add this line In the end.

<CscFeature_Launcher_EnableViewByAlphabetAsDefault >true</CscFeature_Launcher_EnableViewByAlphabetAsDefault>

Save it.

After saving it open again and check that line is present. Please double check on it.

Reboot.

Let me know if this works. As I am not using S6 Launcher.

Hi, anyone out there experiencing weak vibration on z3 compact. Is there anyway that we can increase vibration intensity on this phone, i cant even feel it vibrate in my jeans.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvat:
When walking around with it in your pocket I don't think you could feel it in your pants easily. The vibration on the phone, even when maxed out is pretty weak.

I think it's just a hardware design that had to suffer due to the compact design.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
I agree that the vibration is fairly subtle, but part of me likes this. Though I do miss texts more frequently than with my previous phone (HTC One Mini), it also is far less annoying when it's sitting on a table. The One Mini would be too disturbing in this situation, while the Z3C is quiet - especially useful in a meeting or even at home when your significant other is trying to sleep.

If you are missing notifications, try modifying the vibration length/pattern to something more noticeable. This works well in messaging apps like Textra.

And this directory is visible to all camera apps, but I cant make it to write files there. It says that this location is unwritable, or something other, as I said in one of my older posts there. My OTG cable is also fine, the OTG is fine aswell, so the problem imo is that camera apps dosent have permissions to access this directory.
