[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopersrocks:
Thanks, I've been researching this all morning and I've come up with a couple problems.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do a full backup of the stock phone. A Nandroid backup would be perfect but in order to do that, custom recovery must be installed which requires unlocking the bootloader which wipes the phone. One of MultiROM's features is "Boot from USB drive attached via OTG cable". Can I do that and leave the phone's internal memory 100% untouched so I don't have to unlock the bootloader and wipe the phone?

It sounds like MultiROM itself requires custom recovery so I won't be able to receive OTA updates for an Android booted from MultiROM. Does that mean I will have to wipe Android each time I want to update it?

I don't think there would be any need to root the phone in order to set up and use MultiROM, correct?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
You do have to unlock bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerosum0:
Think you are trying to run before you can walk. With 4 roms where would you store apps as well for them all. Most of those have little support anyway

SENT BY ENTANGLEMENT
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopersrocks:
Aren't apps written to the ROM are you're using the OS like the rest of the user data?

Lack of support is OK.

Can I leave the phone's memory untouched and install MultiROM on a USB stick? I would think custom recovery would be required in order to boot from USB which would require unlocking the bootloader which wipes the phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnc:
You do have to unlock your boot loader and root your device for multirom to work,

Just back up your data and restore it after you finish the process.

I currently have an N5 with multirom installed and can boot

4.4.4

Dirty Unicorns 5.1.1

Pure White 5.1.1

Ubuntu Touch

FirefoxOS

The storage space is shared on android roms so you can view your file downloads, music and videos. You can view on Ubuntu Touch

The apps are separated by the Roms, so you can install the same app on each rom with different settings.

I have a 32 GB N5 with 580 songs, Copilot GPS app + data on the 4.4.4 rom, and a 2 TWRP backups (one for original 4.4.4 and one for the multirom) I still have 7.96 GB left of storage
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopersrocks:
qnc, the problem is there is no way to do a full backup without first unlocking the bootloader which wipes the phone. There are various backup techniques available but none of them restore your phone exactly as it was like a NANdroid backup/restore does.

Android shouldn't need to be rooted in order to install MultiROM. That can be done from the command line with the phone connected to a computer via USB.

Have you tried Sailfish OS? That's the one I'm most excited about due to their Android app compatibility layer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnc:
Ahh understood. I missed the full backup.

I only worry about SMS/MMS backups and pictures. I don't worry about app data.

Question what data would be lost if a full backup is not done?

I have not tried Sailfish OS, I will look into it to see what it is.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopersrocks:
Google Authenticator stuff for one thing. But in general the point of a full backup for me is I don't have to think about it and I won't be surprised after the restore.

It's created by the former Nokia OS team in Finland. You can actually run Android apps inside the OS.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnc:
I see, I don't use Authenticator much, if at all.

I'm guessing that I probably don't since I don't worry about it. I change ROMs on my phone so much it would probably be a hassle for me.

Sailfish OS sounds very cool I will look at it and flash later today.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopersrocks:
So when you want to update a stock Android install, you have to backup/restore since you're using third-party recovery/bootloader?

Please let me know how you like Sailfish if you get a chance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnc:
no i dont have to back up and restore for upgrade

since i upgrade manually i just flash everything except userdata image. i get the upgrade without deleting data.

also i flashed sailfish OS. it is really smoorh.

gestures are killing ubuntu.

im posting in sailfish right now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopersrocks:
Nice, my Nexus 5 shows up today (right after the 5 o'clock free crack giveaway) so I'll be dialing in MultiROM over the weekend.

So you keep your userdata on a separate image? How do you do that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnc:
It is just a matter of flashing each image individually.

I'm on my phone so I can't find the link, but there are directions on how to update while saving user data.

You just flash bootloader, recovery, system, boot, radio images and do not flash userdata image.

You systems is upgraded and you keep you user data and apps.

You then must root and ad back custom recovery, but thstcis pretty simple.

There are directions on XDA I just can't find link on my phone right now.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platynumx:
Just my observation don't use the new radio firmware from this ota if you're on Verizon. Couldn't get a signal for over 5 min literally under a Verizon tower. Went back to the .98(or whatever the stock radio is for a vzw branded Nexus 6).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imablackhat:
Anyone on Verizon that's using new T-Mobile ota please let me know if you use stock vzw vvm. And if it works.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenbrownstone:
I'm on Verizon and flashed new tmo radio and my signal is better..but didn't flash bootloader
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imablackhat:
Everything works fine on this new T-Mobile ROM for verizon users. All apps including vvm FYI. So when Verizon makes the new 5.1.1 ota idk what will be the benefit or reflashing to that.

Hi all,

I just rooted using ping-pong root, and everything works except for Volte - any ideas? I had a different s6, which I used the chainfire method - that didn't break volte. I checked the obvious ... Volte switch, reset APNs, etc.

Much appreciated!! Chad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Applerice:
You don't really need VoLTE its a major battery drainer. I haven't rooted yet so I cant really help you tho xD.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] chadmclark:
When I had it on my first s6, it actually didn't drain it thankfully. Once you hear it, its hard to go back to 3g talk lol! You'll love root if you do it :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] andrewNY:
Even on 3G/4G, you should have the HD Voice codec available which sounds about the same as VoLTE to my ears.

My phone has gone into a bootloop and i have not rooted my phone ever . my phone was on running on kitkat OS and had excess battery drainage and i looked upto the XDA and found a way to solve the problem so i did the "wipe cache partition" and it was fixed and my phone was working butter smooth and battery drainage was fixed and after a few days it suddenly got into a boot loop . I tried hard reset but it still doesnt boot and i am really confused about how get out of the boot loop or to fix it . It would be rally great if XDA developers guide me out through this issue.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nxhappy:
Everyone here probably has an old HTC One they develop on because the Mic was broken which basically ruins the purpose of the "Phone" part of it.

I might try this if no one can help, but there are .zips you can use to disable noise cancellation, but it will only work on 4.2.2 Sense ROMs, Or 4.2 and 4.3 Stock Android ROMs. As of now, I am running the 5.0.1 GPE ROM and I am loving every bit of it. But how can I disable the "Main Mic"?

(By main mic, I mean when I tested both Mics with the diagnostic tool, I got the same old static and sound of data being torn up limb to limb :p, but the secondary mic works fine. And so does the speakerphone, but video recording and voice commands don't. If there is any help you guys have, ill appreciate it. But if my only option is to try Sense 5.5 (V. 4.2.2) , Than I have no problem trying it.

Thank you all for attempting to help, you guys are all awesome!!

[MX Player] xperia64:
After I updated my Shield Tablet to Stock Lollipop (happens on both 5.0.1 and 5.1),

I noticed that with certain files that use the SW decoder, the audio in MXPlayer crackles a lot, and eventually the audio on the whole tablet cuts out for around 10 seconds (at least judging by the Logcat). This only occurs with MXPlayer. VLC has no audio issues, but I'd rather using MXPlayer for better seeking support. Also, when the audio cuts out, the video keeps playing, but when the audio starts working again, the video pauses until it aligns with the audio.

This appears to be a relevant line of the logcat:

W/AudioFlinger(17468): write blocked for 10016 msecs, 1 delayed writes, thread 0xaedd7000

One thing that the problematic video files have in common are 48000Hz audio channels, which I believe is the native sample rate of my device. Is there some resampling that isn't getting applied to 48KHz audio that might fix the issue? Is the AudioTrack not getting flushed properly?

The full log is attached. And these lines I believe are not relevant, because they happen nearly all the time when I have headphones plugged in:

W/NvAudioPolicyManager(17468): getDeviceForStrategy() unknown strategy:
[MX Player] bleu8888:
[MENTION=4552871]xperia64[/MENTION]Did I don't think this is a resampling issue. Have you tried HW+ decoder? SW decoder on high resolution video might cause this issue. And I will be test more if you send a sample video clip.
[MX Player] xperia64:
The issue occurs on nearly all if not all videos with 48KHz audio tracks, from 320x240 all the way up to full HD. It is impossible to play some of these videos with HW+ due to them being WMV or Microsoft MP4's. I've encountered the issue even in Big Buck Bunny. I've tried the 1280x720 and 854x480 MP4's and the 854x480 MSMP4, which exhibit the issue https://peach.blender.org/download/

The lower resolution ones especially should not be that intensive.

If I play the regular BBB MP4's with the HW/+ decoder and SW audio (because AC3), I didn't notice any crackling. If I play them with the SW decoder, they eventually start crackling and audio on the whole tablet cuts out. If I play the MSMP4 version with the SW decoder and software or hardware audio, it will crackle.

I've been using MXPlayer for quite a while, and I remember that when playing larger files on an older device like the Motorola Droid 1, the audio track would sometimes get ahead of the video, and the audio would pause for a while, but this is different because there is no apparent lag and audio on the whole tablet dies.
[MX Player] xperia64:
It would appear that Nvidia's stock kernel is part of the problem here. I flashed a different kernel and I cannot reproduce the crackling/cutout. Although it's somewhat strange that only MXPlayer had this issue.
[MX Player] JohnK71:
Well at least you have audio. I updated to 5.1 and did it through the ota with twrp and I have NO audio. Makes no sense. I went back to 5.0.1 and I have audio again. I tried a bunch of different things and still no way for me to get any audio on 5.1. I am thinking of trying a kernel and see if that helps. Or maybe go back, again, and wait for a fix!
[MX Player] bleu8888:
[MENTION=6031093]JohnK71[/MENTION] [MENTION=4552871]xperia64[/MENTION]

Would you try latest test version from following link?

https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build

Feedback will be appreciated.
[MX Player] JohnK71:
Sorry, but I am saying "NO" audio even playing music or checking and changing sounds. No sound at all and also no mic. It all works good back on 5.0.1 so not sure what's the deal with 5.1 for me. I guess I will hope for better results with next version of lollipop. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
[MX Player] xperia64:
The test build did nothing different. However, version KS-034 of this kernel appears to have fixed my remaining audio issues. On KS-033, the audio was fine for 48KHz audio files, but would still cut out with 24KHz audio files and somewhat break any future AudioTracks in any app until reboot. Version 034 said it increased the HD audio buffer so I guess that did something.

Shield Tablet OTA 3.0 looks like suspended due to audio issue.

See this link: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...3-0-update-feedback-thread-released-5-22-15-/
[MX Player] xperia64:
That is because of a different audio issue where the speakers would literally explode. I had the crackling on 5.0.1/2.2.1. as well.

And I actually went back to KS-033 because KS-034 made audio too latent and it reintroduced crackling on all files, granted it was diminished.
[MX Player] xperia64:
After updating to the latest BitO Kernel (KSX-043) and MXPlayer test version, crackling behavior has changed again, but I have a theory on the crackling this time.

I noticed that after a reboot, the crackling would stop for a while before it returned. The CPU in this device tries as hard as it can to keep its clockspeed at the minimum 51MHz while in sleep mode, regardless of wakelocks/background apps. I had been using Droidsound-e and my own AudioTrack-based music player in sleep mode and I noticed that those apps would skip/crackle a bit as they tried to process the music files but couldn't. That appears to somehow throw off audio output until reboot. The issues are still most noticeable in MXPlayer, but also appeared in other apps as well. I increased the minimum clockspeed to 204MHz and it seemed to help.

I don't know if this is the cause, or if it works on the stock kernel, but on my current setup it seems to work fine.
