Hi All,

I have searched and tried many solutions on the net and still can't get my Google Now to work. Every time when attempt to start Google Now, it tells me there is an network error. I have tried the below, and so far no luck, and it is very very frustration. Please help!!!!

1. Paused all account history and cleared out past histories.

2. Under Google Settings -> Search & Now -> Now Cards -> Delete card preferences

3. Deleted Google account on my phone and re login

4. Tried an older version of Google Now, login, then update to the newest version.

The funny thing is when I used my wife's google account, Google Now pulls right now. It seems like my google account is messed up? Thank you guys in advance!

Hello developers,

I've been looking forward to port a ROM which has a different chipset, GPU and CPU. Everything else is same. But I'm not really sure if it could succeed. Can anyone help me with it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] frostinide:
Summary

Immediately after reboot, the time it takes to get a GPS fix will be much longer. Take the following two test cases I have tried:

1. Reboot. Then immediately open GPS Status. It will take 90-120 seconds to get a fix.

2. Reboot. Wait at least 3 minutes. Then open GPS Status. It will take about 12-18 seconds to get a fix. (In case anyone is wondering, there isn't anything running in the background that is getting a fix while I'm waiting.)

I found this out by accident. I was playing around with various gps.conf files, which requires a reboot every time you modify it. No matter what I put in that file it would take much too long to get a fix. But after running a few tests, I did determine that you need to wait at least a few minutes after rebooting to test.

Repro Steps

Here are instructions to find out whether you will encounter this same issue:

Put on a gps.conf file that has INTERMEDIATE_POS=1 (not required, but recommended: will be explained below). You can use the 3.1 / 2.2 no SSL version from this post by [MENTION=700051]crypted[/MENTION].

Make sure gps.conf has read permissions for all of owner/group/other (not related to this issue specifically, but just a general note to make sure gps.conf is being read correctly).

Install GPS Status, and make sure the following option is checked: Settings > Display & Tools > Show time to GPS fix.

Reboot the phone.

Start GPS Status immediately. Take note of whether you get the message "Time to first GPS fix: 2s" (see my screenshot). If you see this message, then you should get the fix within a few seconds when you are outside. If you don't, it will take a long time to get a fix. In this case, stop GPS status, wait 3 minutes and try again.

Note: If you don't have INTERMEDIATE_POS=1, you will still get the same behaviour except you will not get the "Time to first GPS fix" message until you actually get a fix, so you will just have to wait a few minutes. You can use 'uptime' in a terminal and once it shows 3 minutes then you should be able to get a quick fix.

Cause

I have no idea why this happens. I'm guessing that for some reason the GPS driver will not use the AGPS data until after a few minutes after bootup. This is speculation though. If anyone with more knowledge has any insight, please share.

Conclusion

I have no solution to get around this. But hopefully this will help explain why you may not get a fast GPS fix at times. This is not really a big issue for regular users as they're not constantly rebooting. This is more important to consider if you are benchmarking various gps.conf configurations.

I'd be interested to know if anyone else is seeing something similar. I have no idea if this is specific to T999, Cyanogenmod, Qualcomm chips, or just me. :)

all the apps are from google store, works well except these: evernote, as well as its widget, skitch and LBE security.

wish someone could give me a hand coz i was disturbing rly=.=

thx and enjoy the weekend

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] linom:
You need to uncheck the option "Add Icons to Home screen" in Google Play Store Settings. Nubia Rom does not have an app drawer, so all icons are added by default on the screen. You may need to uninstall and re-install some apps.

Busy Box and Ad Away

Update: Install Ad Away v 3.0 and Busy Box on Android M.

Busy Box - http://downloads.codefi.re/networkingpro/BusyBox-Android_M.zip - This is a flashable zip I made to install Busybox on Android M. Flash in TWRP. This zip also creates all Simlinks.

Ad Away v 3.0 - Verified to work on Android M - http://downloads.codefi.re/networkingpro/AdAway_v3.0.apk

Note: This version of Busy Box is NOT the same as most Busy Box installers on the play store. Never versions of Android, including Android M, require that Busybox be compiled using (PIE) Position Independent Executable support. This version has been compiled specifically for that on the ARM architecture.

What doesn't? There are three things here. Theres a boot image compiled for Android M, an ad blocker and a custom Busybox installer, also compiled for Android M.

Did you flash this kernel? Flashing the included boot image should get rid of the failed verification message.

[Nexus 6  General] jonzey231:
Still no write access

So when exactly do I flash the noencrypt?

I just:

1. Wiped every partition, formatted the data partition

2. Installed the M Preview 2 through NRT

3. Flashed TWRP

4. Booted into TWRP and flashed the latest Elite (7/19), SuperSu, and Busybox (in that order)

5. Then back into bootloader to flash the noencrypt

It just sat at the boot animation for like 15 minutes until I went back and flashed the stock boot.img via fastboot and then reflashed Elite in TWRP.

I'm back up into M and have restored all my data and reinstalled all my apps. Just went to edit build.prop to enable multiwindow and lo and behold, no write access.

So what do I need to do differently here to get write access to the system?
[Nexus 6  General] Middle_Man:
It appears that insecure_noencrypt_boot.img is no longer necessary, according to buckmarbles's post immediately following my own, BUT i was flashing that first -- before booting into recovery to flash Elite.

From your current state, i'd flash TWRP (if necessary), boot into recovery, then flash Elite, Beta_SuperSU and BusyBox. that should work.... but who knows. i see you've been having a hell of a time.

edit note: I don't think it should matter, but it didn't use NRT to flash, fastboot flashed everything individually.
[Nexus 6  General] jonzey231:
Haha, nope. Isn't working. I used NRT but I watched the cmd prompt while it was doing it and I directed to a factory image that I had already extracted so I know there wasn't anything that was off.

But yeahhhhh....still no write access to system lol.

Went back in:

1. Flashed the noencrypt via fastoot

2. Booted into twrp and flashed Despair, SuperSu, and Busybox (in that order)

3. Booted and opened ES File Explorer to edit build.prop

4. GREAT SUCCESS!!!!
[Nexus 6  General] ridobe:
This worked for me. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] Middle_Man:
excellent! Pretty sure that's how i suggested a few posts ago. LOL

congrats and enjoy
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
Just to let everyone know, fix_rw_boot caused my phone to not boot. Whereas, the nonencrypt worked fine and I got RW system access. In both cases I flashed it after flashing M2's boot, before flashing Despair kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] BigBlue007:
Is it possible to flash back the stock kernel after performing the steps in the opening post in order to gain root, and then still being rooted?

Reason why I'm asking is because I'm having issues with WiFi using the Elite kernel (it's being discussed in the Kernel's support thread numerous times, but no final solution). Of course I used the latest version of the kernel from its support thread, not the one linked here.
[Nexus 6  General] KonoeKyon:
You need a permissive kernel for root to work, so stock won't work. There are a few other custom kernels that support M. ElementalX, Despair, HellsCore are a few.
[Nexus 6  General] jm77:
This worked for me, N6 with M Preview 2. I didn't do the build.prop edit, but Adaway appears to be working properly and ads are blocked.

i think you should put update 3

for how to root M preview 2 as it is different from preview 1

1. download no encrypt img

2. Installed the M Preview 2 normally, but replace the boot img with no encrypt img (you can use NRT )

3. after the phone boot normally do a factory reset (if the storage space is lower than normal) if not leave this step

4. after booting normally activate debugging then flash last TWRP

4. Boot into TWRP and flashed the latest Elemental X (other may work ), SuperSu , and Busybox (in that order exactly )

5. now you have rooted M2 with no encryption

I'm getting a 404 in the link for the writable boot image for m2. Anyone have another copy somewhere? I've gone back to the stock image to see if that resolves some of the issues I've been having with jdx... Losing system write access is a pain.
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
It's in the OP.
[Nexus 6  General] LeoRex:
Yeah, that link is toast.

But I figured a way around it. I flashed one of the M Roms that had the fixed boot image, then wiped system and restored a backup of the stock system partition, leaving boot alone.

I get that annoying finger-wagging 'your system is corrupt' screen, but when it boots, I can write to system.
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
That's a pain. I hate the message. Is it possible for the OP to fix the link for you and others?

yeap! it's a known problem as System app updates are not supported on the M preview.

Solution if you are root, uninstall it with root explorer or something, reboot and install it again from play store (it will not be a system app though).

Or else (disable it and) install chrome beta/dev (that's what i did).
