[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryukouki:
Hey guys, I've been fresh on a stock and unrooted build over the past several months (no headaches anymore!) and recently, an acquaintance of mine was willing to give me his Galaxy S4 which to my delight was still on MDK. I've been out of the scene and flashing in general for the past five months, and I know that there's this Lollipop business right now, but what is the best ROM for the MDK S4 at this point?

I've heard that Cyanogenmod 12.1 and lollipop builds in general are having a host of problems with bluetooth, the GPS (which I actually very much need), and battery drain. What is an acceptable ROM in your guys' honest opinion that can be used as a very solid daily driver (hopefully on Lollipop, willing to use KK though) that has GPS and bluetooth?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Another CM12.1 tidbit. If your new to you MDK S4 is the Verizon variant, the compass is borked, too. If it's any other carrier users say it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Illogi.xbone:
This, however navigation still works for directions :) I know what direction I am looking at and moving in most of the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Otakulad:
Hyperdrive is also a fan favorite but is currently on KK. I was using Dan's GPE lollipop ROM but switched back because I couldn't get Netflix to run over mobile data. If that doesn't bother you, I recommend that to you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Illogi.xbone:
HD is great! Currently my DD until a lollipop version of Touchwiz for JFLTEVZW is released.

Rock Solid Super Fast my GPS works fine and Bluetooth with my Jaybird X's is fine !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
That is because orientation is determined by GPS when moving, not by the compass.

It is now a moot point as invisiblek fixed the compass in CM 11, 12.0, & 12.1 two days ago.

So nice to see the compass and all third party apps that rely on it work properly again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] inetquestion:
ROM on android 5.x, verizon?

Which lollipop roms are fully working with no major connectivity issues now? Was thinking of trying cyanogen 12.1, but noticed its not officially released. Is this stable enough to use everyday? If not, are there other 5.x roms I should consider?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncsuwolfs:
so my work gave me a brand new note 3 yesterday and ive been doing alot of reading. from what i gather (im on 4.4.4 build ktu84p.n900vvrudnk1) has no way of rooting. my question is should i just update to lollipop then or should i wait?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KruseLudsMobile:
Go for lollipop. It is a MAJOR upgrade and a MAJOR improvement.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] veli69:
I just got the S6 Edge and im debating returning it for a nexus 6 64GB or returning the edge for a regular s6.

Any one with the same delimma, Im coming from a note 3 so size is not an issue. And I really dont like the idea of never getting root on this phone. Has any one had both?

If verizon sold the nexus 6 64gb it would be an easy choice but ill have to but that a full price 699 vs the 399 for the s6 edge 64gb.

I will say the s6 is fast as hell. I love the finger print reader. And the camera launches fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Archangel:
Just my opinion but, I would hold out and keep the S6 Edge. It is an awesome phone with great specs. I am still hopeful for at least root. Give it some time and with Samsung opening up to more themes (hopefully) root may not be needed. I usually root for aesthetic reasons anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] JasonJoel:
I had a Nexus 6, hated it. Too big.

I still have a droid turbo, though, in addition to my S6 - and love it. It has a locked bootloader like the S6, but I don't really care about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mdonnelly1127:
Came from the Nexus 6 which was enormous and the fact you could root it and unlock it was a plus but the phone was always glitch and just was an on and off good experience. The s6 edge has great specs n loving it so far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] veli69:
Thanks for the input. I can see the nexus being "too big" for some. But I think id rather a phone thats to big sometimes then to small all the time. Ill ponder more!! I
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] codygs83:
I'm on the n6 now. The wife got the edge last week. She's loving the screen and camera. But the battery life is really frustrating her. I'll be tinkering with it when I get off work to see what the problem is. But for me I wouldn't trade my n6 for any phone that's out right now. I've had nothing but the best experience with it. Great camera. Super fast. Love the big screen. No issues at all.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] braver:
So I owned my BA since 2005 and tried all ROM/radio/BT upgrades and now am at xplode's ROM and 1.15 radio and 1.39 BT, still can't keep BA farther than a foot away from my headset. Static just kills any conversation on the street. I come to think it's the hardware, and as such, it's unfixable. This is so far the reason that I don't use my BA as a phone anymore -- I'd rather keep it in sync with my Mac, and also sync up my Nokia, via Missing Sync. If I happen to have a contact I need on the Nokia, I can beam it from the BA via BT. Of course, SMS is the main reason to prefer BA, but I'd rather have a solid headset connectivity. I also didn't like it under WM2003SE when the phone had to be rebooted during a call. Overall, I'm afraid, we'll just have to move on to WM Phones with more solid BT headset connections, or -- better yet -- to iPhone.

Hi there! I just got my Nexus Player in the mail, and I am having trouble installing ES File Explorer on it. When I go to download it from Google Play via my laptop, it says that "this item is not compatible with your device".

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfl:
I feel silly it took me this long to realize we can adb install apks .

Make sure you have unknown software checked to install

ADB debugging in dev options on

Download your .apk files for SideLoadLanucher.apk and ES File Manager.apk

ES File manager: http://www.estrongs.com/download.html?id=1
SideLoad Launcher: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-sideload-launcher-android-tv-t2914962

doesnt matter which OS you are on. Open your Bash terminal or CMD prompt and change directory to where you downloaded the files and install them via adb:

adb install /path/to/package
adb install ESwenjianliulanqi_223.apk
adb install SideloadLauncher-v1.05.apk

Should get a success message.

Cheers,

This might be a silly question, but are you using ADB via a USB cable, or over wifi? I'm extremely green at all this and the learning curve is pretty steep
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfl:
I was using ADB over USB.

If you are using a linux machine install ADB and Fastboot. YOu will be able to launch adb/fastboot from any location with your bash shell:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb && sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot

If using Windows, its really easy to set up ADB/Fastboot in your environmental so you can adb/fastboot from any location in CMD if you havent already set that up use this and just YES to everything:

this is on the first page of posts and is pretty much all u need

some extra tips

if you dont have adb then get it from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118 no need to install the entire sdk just for adb and fastboot.

if u dont know how to open a cmd window then just open your start menu and either search cmd or click run and then type in cmd and hit enter.

to make your life a little easier if you shift right click inside the folder where you have the apks u are trying to install you should see open command window here. if you do that then you wont need to put the path in for the apk you can just do "adb install [app u want to install].apk" replace [app u want to install] with the name of the app, u must have .apk at the end. example abd install es.apk

you can enable usb debugging in the dev settings(to enable dev settings, Open Settings, about then click the build number 7 times. it should say u are now a dev)

Bluetooth Mouse

I finally got ES File Explorer installed by connecting a Bluetooth mouse to my NP and using the Google Search app (Blue 'G'). Just 'voice searched' for Es File Explorer and used the mouse to click on the Play Store search result. It installed right away, no issues like I was having when trying to install through Play Store on my PC..

It was extremely frustrating to have the app suddenly become incompatible from the usual Play Store method, but I'm happy this worked.

(I doubt it helped anything, but I set security to allow Unknown Sources).

With the NP upgrade to android 5.1.1, ES File Explorer has fallen behind and Google Play thinks the NP is no longer supported.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polv89:
And then, what can I do with this?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgersen:
You can sideload apk from USB storage with it. I used it to sideload ES File Explorer (which is more complete and can access network shares).

But using the 'Google' app as shown in the video 2 posts above also work. You don't even need a mouse, you can use the leanback keyboard (settings/preferences/keyboard) if voice search is not your thing.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polv89:
I have tried usb storage with an usb otg cable and a 32gb pen drive but with simplefileexplorer I can't see the storage
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgersen:
yeah. When in doubt, test!. So I just factory reset'ed my NP and tried from scratch again and indeed SimpleFileExplorer is useless.

I don't recall all the steps I used the first time and I was under the impression that I used SimplefileExplorer and an USB stick. It now seems that I was wrong or the latest OS update changed a few things like it did for ES File Explorer. My bad. scratch that.

You'll need something like OTG Disk Explorer Lite to access USB storage but this app needs to be sideloaded... so back to the same chicken/egg problem.

So just use the method shown in the video to install ES File Explorer (ESFE), which will allow you to sideload apk via network shares or cloud storage services (Dropbox, Drive, etc). You can also use the same method to install Chrome, which then can download apk directly from the NP (you'll still need ESFE or SimpleFileExplorer to install them).

Any APK can be easily downloaded using this site http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ (it works with Chrome from the NP itself).
