-When I go to Mobile network settings > Access Point Names > then click + to add my custom settings, the settings never save and it says "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user"

I then tried several APN apps including the APN Backup and Restore app. When I use the /system/app mover app to pushed to system/priv-app, it fails (it worked just fine in 4.4.x). I am not sure of any other way to move it properly. Then when I load APN Backup and Restore again, it says it is uninstalled. So I have to reinstall and then I am stuck again without permissions. Since my Sprint S3 is flashed to PagePlus, I am unable to locate a flashable APN for Pageplus or Verizon to attempt to change them that way.

I also think this seems to be related: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24227

Any fresh insight on this issue or a solution would be great.

So i tried out the rom switching from the Resurrection ROM and first off this works so much better in terms of stability, but my data doesn't seem to want to connect :/ I'm on Virgin Mobile and have tried the APN Fix zip and even a apn setting from a google search. Would love to use this ROM daily but I need data. I can make a logcat if needed. Any help would be appreciated :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrLipschitz:
Anyone else getting fc's on the AOSP Keyboard, rendering the ROM completely unusuable?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
For virgin, do this:

Full wipe

Flash rom, gapps, and apn fix

Boot up once (skip activation)

Boot back to recovery and flash rom only (no wipes, no apn fix)

Enjoy 4g lte.

Hello

I would like to try this ROM out and hopefully make is my DD ROM.

I have a few questions

I'm on slimrom android 4.4.4 and modem MK3 (Sprint network)

Do i have to update the modem? if so what modem? (link please) It's been a little wile scenes i have been on the forums and flashing ROMs and stuff, but i'm not a total noob at it.

Is there anything more i should know about moving to android 5.x ? I read most of the thread today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Update to nj2. Probably best to just odin the whole nj2 .tar. That way you will have nj2 bootloader and modem. Mk3 is waaaay outdated. You might not even have data if you try to stay on mk3.

What about the KNOX bootloader ? I don't want that correct ?

Sent from a thing running on Electrons
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Your first link is the one. It does have Knox, but so what. All Knox does is stop you from odin flashing firmware older than KitKat (nd8). Unless your worried about the bit count going up by 1 for warranty or something. Knox is nothing to worry about. Everyone running these lollipop roms has Knox bootloader, doesn't change a thing. Still flashing away.

After you odin nj2, just re root (with twrp, not philz) then you can flash this or any lollipop rom.

I'm responding on behalf a friend, whose XDA account doesn't have the necessary 10 posts.

In his case, setting location mode to "high accuracy" seems to be the cause, and he's been able to mitigate the error by setting it to "device only".

I was using 7.1 rom from here, it had some issues that been bothered me for a long time, then I flashed this rom and it was really amazing (for real!)

looks more stable and I don't care if it's 5.1 version (old I mean), what matters is it's stable or not!

Just a reminder! ALWAYS CHECK THE MD5 CHECKSUM FOR DOWNLOADED FILES. Md5 checker in play store works great. It can certainly save some headaches!

A SECOND MORE IMPORTANT REMINDER, KEEP A COPY OF YOUR FULL OTA IN THE ROOT OF YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD. THAT WAY IF THE LIQUID DEFECATION TRULY STRIKES THE AUXILIARY ROTOR. YOU CAN USE NVIDIAS BACKUP STOCK RECOVERY (AT BUGDROID (ANDY ON HIS BACK WITH A RED ! OVER IT) HIT "VOLUME UP" + "POWER") TO WIPE DATA AND FLASH A STOCK FULL OTA AND GET BACK UP AND RUNNING AGAIN. THEN USE KINGROOT, THEN FLASHIFY, THEN TWRP, TO GET ROOT BACK AND CUSTOM RECOVERY....

Nice! I will report back once I have redone my tablet.

And please, give me some time. It's the end of a holiday weekend & I have a few things to do before going back to work Tuesday.
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
No worries. I created this thread for a laid back easy way to (try) and get the most from our device. Xda was always my go to place to find help and it's a bit different now. Not everyone is a developer, but it shouldn't be hard to get knowledge from those that are. Hell I'm no dev, just like to test stuff, a crack flasher. But at one time I didn't know what root was..... We all were. I know I love it when I show someone my device I spent 100s of hours tweaking just right and the look on their face! At one time that was me. I had to ask questions that probably got a few chuckles. But usually there was someone there to ask. If i can help I figure I SHOULD,

As I said I encourage questions. It may help someone else later on. Cheers!
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
... Wrong button.....
[Shield Tablet General] Ctrl_Alt_Del:
All is well. And the wipe,install directions from TWRP went flawlessly.

As soon as it booted, I was presented with the Welcome screen, as if it were a brand new device, unlike just updating an older OS. Chose the language, if I had a Google account & signed in...all that cookie dust. Apps from the list I have backed up to the Google servers under my account downloaded & installed automagically.

And best of all....no more "Android is Starting" & no more "optimizing the apps" at cold startup! Big thumbs up there! :good:

By the way, I could not get the full install from the link you provided from another user. It went to Mega & Mega is having transfer issues. It would download about 10 thru 15 % then flash something about a transfer error, then reduce the file transferred back down to 8 or 9 %...then download that again up to around 12 % or so, then back down to 8 %....lather, rinse, repeat...indefinitely! I used this user's link in his post to get the correct ROM: Android 5.1 out now

Just an FYI there.
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Glad to hear it went well. And thanks for the info on mega. It does that from time to time. Could be alot of people trying to get that file right now. Links updated.

If you go through the xposed install and all. It gets spooky fast....
[Shield Tablet General] GOALAR:
can you explain about screen density? native 283? how do you know that? table has 320 dpi
[Shield Tablet General] tahjr:
Excellent guide and info. Spent all weekend formatting and dealing with "optimizing apps", this fixed it all, great tablet now
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
It's an 8 inch screen. With a resolution of 1920x1200 I'm not sure the math, but it adds up to 283,or there are a few sites that you can go to and enter your the screen info and it will tell you what you density is. Density is how many pixels are in a square inch. Also GSM arena and a few other sites show this data if you Google "shield tablet specs".

Switching from 320 to 283 just makes the screen look sharper. It also can effect what games are listed as compatible in the play store. Example, dead space and dead trigger 2 will not install @ 283. But will run at it. I have dead space myself and it plays fine but I have to side load it or set my density back to 320 in build.prop then install it.

Think of it like running different resolutions on your pc monitor. The monitor will show them just fine, but only 1 is the exact spec from the factory, and look the best.

Hi, [MENTION=5558549]Pariahnoble[/MENTION]. Just wanted to say that this is great, exactly the kind of effort that supports the XDA community.

I am sure that this will be a huge help to a lot of people.

I'm surprised there aren't more comments on this thread. This looks great.

By the way, did I miss something or can this actually be done completely without the use of a computer?
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Nope didn't miss a beat. This whole process can be done with no pc (I don't have a pc, my shield is my ONLY device.) so I've learned how to do it all locally (on board the shield itself).

This is only just now available, 5/13 kingroot was released that would root the tablet stock off the shelf. And flashify to put on the custom twrp. After that it's good times!

Ps, thanks for the heads up on the no pc thing, I forgot to mention that, OP updated... ;)
[Shield Tablet General] radio five:
That's great news for me since my computer recently took a **** and I'm about to throw my old laptop out the window. (windows vista, won't take adb drivers, runs out of memory using chrome, etc...)
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Ouch! I feel your pain. I recently had to try to flash using add (adb but "add" was a great typo) on Windows xp.... Oh yeah... THAT went well.... Then 2 days later kingroot came out.

Just make sure (and I'll add this to the op as well) to keep a copy of the full ota on the ROOT of your external SD card, that way if your shield take a flaming deuce in your hands, you can STILL use nvidia backup recovery. If you have ever seen the "bug droid" (ole Andy on his back and the flaming red ! Over it) hold the "volume up" button and hit power and the nvidia recovery comes up. Let's you flash a STOCK FULL OTA and bam, back in business, just kingroot, flashify, twrp, keep calm, and carry on!
[Shield Tablet General] radio five:
Man, I'm glad you said something! I'm gathering all the files on my external sd card in a folder (downloads/Shield Optimization) and I was getting ready to take the plunge. I'll move everything to the sd card's root before I get started.

I'm also considering backing all of my sd card to a work computer temporarily so I can reformat it. My junk heap of a laptop can't read it but I suspect my shield may have formatted it to a weird..... format.

I just want to have the card ready in the event I want to transfer large files and not wait as long.

Speaking of which, would I be able to format my sd card via my PC with it still in the Shield, connected by a usb cable?

Sorry if I'm getting slightly off topic.
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
[MENTION=3651317]radio five[/MENTION]

Firstly the only file you really need in the root folder is the ota zip. That's only because I'm pretty sure that's where the stock recovery will look for it, IF everything goes to hell.

Yes about formatting your card or storing files elsewhere during all this. The closer to a fresh card and internal memory the better.

Not sure what if any besides ntfs that the shield would format it to. But ntfs is recommended. And it's so far the only (I think) supported format for cards over 32gb. Also. After you format it to ntfs, quick format is OK, full is better but much slower on Windows, make sure to name it. Any is OK. "Sdcard" works.

In Windows Explorer, click on the volume (Sdcard you just formatted) to select it. Wait a sec. Then click it again. And name it when it highlights.

It fixes SOMETHING, Noone really knows what, but makes the shield recognize SD cards over 32gb

I'm sure there IS a way to format via adb, but I have no idea how...

What topic? >.< lol all questions are encouraged.
[Shield Tablet General] An Droid:
By default the Shield will format large SD Cards to exFAT. It works fine - currently using a 64GB SD Card formatted as exFAT.
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Thanks for the info, didn't know if they had fixed that or not. Just that nvidia Web site recommends ntfs, but I believe exfat is faster, I know some folks are trying to get f2fs working. It's supposed to be alot alot better for solid state and flash memory that doesn't require seek times.
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
That's more like a whole cellar full of cookie jars! O.o

You offered cookies so I came, but man, that's a whole damn cellar full of cookie jars! I just followed (most :P) of your instructions, you really did a thorough work with this guide! I'm totally amazed! But since you said questions are welcome, I'm here to drive you insane with mine. Hehehehe! :cool:

Alright, so I know it's silly, but let's start from the basics. I know I've used flashify before in my old Kindle but I totally can't remember what I chose and where so I need some help. The first time I tried to change some things with it my Kindle was bricked so I'm super careful. I downloaded TWRP from the MultiROM thread, so now I download Flashify and...? (Hehehe anxiously waiting what comes next :P )

I know I'll probably have driven you mad by the end of the post but I have eeeven more questions :P Do all options of Gravitybox work on the stock rom? Any that I should avoid messing with? I tried it on the old stock, it was pretty fancy and loved it, but I want to be on the safe side, I use my shield too much and everywhere so I think I'd better keep it as stable as possible.

What does selinux do? I also have questions about viper, I went to their website but didn't quite figure it out. So to have it I need selinux mode changer and Busybox? Do I need XPOSED as well?

I have no questions for that, just something I noticed. I tried deleting all, and it did, but it said it could not delete the Android folder. It was empty though, size was 0,0, but the folder remained. That's all. I was worried when I saw it cause I thought I did something wrong, so maybe you could add that in the instructions if it's the normal way things go at that step.

Is Music2 the PlayMusic.apk?

I wasn't sure if I was going to use viper4android cause I don't yet understand what it is, but if I want to disable musicfx can I also do it from settings->application manager?

Any insight on the kernels? I checked the link but 1) I seem to be pretty dumb when it comes to what kernels do and 2) you have to admit they're not very detailed or at least aren't making it easy for noobs :P

I checked that. Is it a paid app if you really want to use the features or is it my idea? :P

How can I use the info about the colors? Is there something I should change about them, or was it just info you wanted to share? (damn I feel real stupid this morning >.< )

Ooooh I really need some battery saving improvements, sooo very much. I don't understand what you mean to set the minimum to 51 every time. Like after every reboot?

I saw the photos. Yours really looked insanely cool! Hehehe, I would do it too but I have my SHIELD in a smart case so it wouldn't be obvious anyway >.<

Wait, the new OTA has caused issues to USB OTG???????? O.o Nooooooooooooooooo! Ughghghghghghgh%#*(@(#&#@*&^%^%@%(!&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
[Shield Tablet General] JohnK71:
Help!! I don't know what happened but now I lost audio and I'm not sure what to do to fix it. I rooted with KingRoot and installed TWRP. I wanted to install Viper4Android so I installed busybox and selinuxmodechanger. Now when I rebooted I have no audio. I thought about if I could boot to TWRP and install OTA 5.1 again but didn't know if it would do a clean install and wipe everything. Does anyone know if there is some way to install an audio file or something to fix this issue?

[MENTION=5582377]YuriPan[/MENTION] sorry the answers are inside the quote box, I tried to answer each one inside the quotes I guess, sorry mate. But I did get to all your questions
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Don't panic! All is well. Yes go ahead and go through the cleaning process again and reflash ota 3, what happened is this, I don't beleive selinux had been changed to permissive yet, after installing viper apk. BUT BEFORE YOU OPEN IT. Make sure you A) install, open, and click install in busybox, install and open, and change selinux to permissive in selinuxmodechanger. THEN OPEN VIPER, this is important, as viper tries to install it's own driver, replacing Androids stock audio driver, this install process requires busybox fully installed and selinux permissive. Once the driver installs and you reboot, selinux can be changed back to enforcing (I just leave mine permissive)

Viper tried to install the driver and it sounds like selinux was still enforcing, causing a half install, basically android is sending audio to a driver that isn't running yet.

Try this time saver, go into viper, hit the menu, click uninstalling driver, it may take a while (mine takes about 1 minute) to uninstall. Then reboot. Then set selinux to permissive, open viper again, click the menu, click install driver, after it installs, reboot, see if it worked, also check and open busy box and hit the install button at bottom left as well. May very well work.
