Flashed manually partition by partition, and erased user data before booting.

Absolutely no issues during flash and it booted on the first attempt.

It's currently restoring from my last Google backup, but so far a pretty easy experience (beyond flash-all being broken).
[Nexus 9 General] octagonPerfectionist:
ooh there are a bunch of new battery optimization and battery usage tracking features, as well as a utility which tracks memory usage of various apps, and how often an app is running - and lets you choose whether to look at the past 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and day.
[Nexus 9 General] seanashmore:
I've noticed that the audio doesn't keep up with the keyboard if you type in any way reasonably quickly. Definitely seems slower to me so far compared with 5.1.1. I did a full clean wipe. I'm gonna do a restart once i install some stuff again and see if it clears it up. Noticed that the theme option under 'developer options' has an 'automatic' option, itd be pretty cool if it turned on at night for instance but its 10:24pm here in N.Ireland and it didnt go to dark mode when i chose automatic so who knows. Also see an option to enable/disable tap-to-wake, not something I want to disable but handy enough for those who do and maybe even potentially a small battery saving.

Jumpy audio through google play music, presumably related to the keyboard issue I was talking about. Still haven't restarted yet though.

EDIT: dark theme has enabled itself after i set the theme option to 'automatic', presumably because it's night time :)
[Nexus 9 General] foxmeister:
Oddly, mine did go dark when I set the theme to automatic - I'm in England, so same time zone as you.

Can't say much else yet - still downloading my apps.

Quite a few force close pretty much immediately when I try to run them, but I'll let the restore take its course and reboot before making any firm judgements.

Given how generally poor my experience with my N9 has been to date, I'm prepared to put up with a few warts and teething issues.
[Nexus 9 General] jaxbierley:
I dont think its the fact that its dev preview that messed you up. By dirty flashing and then claiming it is not stable enough for a DD is stupid tho. If you want to truly experience it and not going around telling people you cant use it, then you should probably clean flash.
[Nexus 9 General] ilatimer1:
Its running great so far. Seem smooth for a dev preview. No FCs or other problems so far.
[Nexus 9 General] addicted1900:
thanks. Then i will make the step tomorrow.

I was also curious that will our device support CM13? :)

[Galaxy S 4 General] TheAwesomeBit:
i dont see why it wouldn't :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] braulio_holtz:
I believe you need the source code. You have to wait for the final release that Google makes available, the most you can do is a dump and catch the apk's
[Galaxy S 4 General] MZO:
Google released the sources :)

[Galaxy S 4 General] skezza:
Is it likely to come out for GS4?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Zehlek:
Most likely only if someone ports it
[Galaxy S 4 General] skezza:
Ok. How likely is that?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Rhoban:
Should be very likely.

There were ports of ICS and Kitkat for my old LG P350 device. Why wouldn't there be ports for M. The S4 should run it just fine.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
I would be satisfied if s4 gets all L updates cause android M wont be released almost 100% for s4...or maxbe samsung has some other thoughts [emoji14]
[Galaxy S 4 General] braulio_holtz:
After I saw that Google released the source code, just do not know if it is 100% platform ....It would be nice at least be able to use part of the optimization of ART and battery (doze project). I'm using the GearCM (optimized version of CyanogenMod) for i9500 ... is that changing the manifest can do a partial port?
[Galaxy S 4 General] skezza:
I might try build it, see what the crack is.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dedq:
Why do u think it wont ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Rhoban:
He is talking about official manufacturer release.

Generally, after 18 months the manufacturer drops update development for a phone. It's been 2 years since the S4 released. Samsung already has 2 devices on which they have to work + their next flag ship.

I doubt they are going to spend more time on our 2 year old device.

We will surely get AOSP versions of M but official samsung version might be unlikely.
[Galaxy S 4 General] skezza:
The problem with AOSP versions they all seem to be buggy :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] MZO:
How come :o

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 General] -Ric-:
I'm pretty sure there won't be any official Touchwiz M for the S4 and considering the fact that 5.1 isn't even out for the google play edition S4... i'm pretty sure the GPE model will not see M either.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
Yeah probably s4 stops at L,s5 will probably get M too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] myawan:
Android 'Biggest update ever' failed badly, now Google should get serious about the quality of updates.

we need the Camera API 2.0 by Samsung, so we will use a perfect version of the next cm13 rom!!! i really hate the bad quality of camera apps in CM 12.1 !!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab S General] droidxxxxx:
Got my update to Lollipop yesterday. Let it upgrade then ran it a little, but of course I felt it lagging, so I fresh wiped factory reset and it's sailng along nicely.
[Galaxy Tab S General] kenhicg:
I have a question. Does this tablet have a phone radio built in or do you use an app like hangouts?
[Galaxy Tab S General] droidxxxxx:
I do not think it has a phone modem or phone capability but it does have internet. I can use other things like Skype, or facebook Messenger to make phone calls per se but no actual phone. That I know of anyways.
[Galaxy Tab S General] id10terrordfw:
It does have a cellular baseband/modem. That's why it has a SIM card and can use LTE.
[Galaxy Tab S General] droidxxxxx:
But I don't think you can use it as a phone. That's what they were asking I'm pretty sure.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Yes I just put lollipop on mine a few says ago. Running great for me and even have a increase in battery life. I'd say about a hour. Very pleased with it and it'll get even better when we get 5.1.1. Probably take like 4 months to get it though lol.
[LG Optimus L90] Flyer9511:
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make my own IR blasting app, using the LG QRemote SDK. However, my app nor the sample app in the SDK are able to access the IR Blaster: the sample app says that access is blocked by MDM (it also says it is blocked by serverpolicy in a Toast).

Does anyone have any idea to 'unlock' the blaster?

[Nexus 4 General] jb91:
Is anyone here watching the Google I/O? I think the new Android M stuff looks really exciting, but if I've understood them correctly, the Nexus 4 won't get it officially (I think only devices from Nexus 5 upwards were listed, but I wasn't fully concentrated on the stream when it was mentioned).

If the Nexus 4 will be excluded from Android M, how likely is it going to be that it will be ported unofficially, and how good are these ports usually quality-wise? I would really like to stay with the N4 for a while, the hardware is still really good in my opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] Pteer Griffin:
The I/O was talking about dev previews for 5,6,9, and Player. Hoping M arrives on the Nexus 4. Yet, Apple is still supporting a 4 year old phone with only 512MB of ram.
[Nexus 4 General] dramalicious:
I.m lookimg forward for M. BUT I love my N4 with lollipop so it wont be end of days for me if we dont get M :) N4 with L is all that i wanted from a phone. :)
[Nexus 4 General] jb91:
You're right, it was about the dev previews. I hope we will know more by the end of the I/O. Would be a shame if they aren't gonna update the Nexus 4 as the hardware seems completely capable of handling Android M (i don't really notice a lot of a difference in performance even comparing my 2.5 year old encrypted N4 to a brand new Galaxy S6).

You probably can't really compare a Nexus device with an Apple device though, Apple generally seems a lot more consumer-friendly in that regard (also in terms of repairs and so on). The rumors for Google were, that Android devices will get the newest Android updates for 2 years, and security updates for another year after that. Let's see if this turns out to be true or not..
[Nexus 4 General] aravindsagar:
Nexus support periods are going very rigid.. N4 most likely won't get M. Time to buy a new phone I guess. :(
[Nexus 4 General] kryzeK:
We will not have Android M Dev Preview, much less the final version.

The way is a super-mega-awesome-dev to the port of M Dev Preview for us. I find to be difficult because there are not M Preview for Nexus 7 2013 to help a little, which has a similar hardware with our old N4.
[Nexus 4 General] jb91:
This was never confirmed though, right? We won't get the Dev Preview for the Nexus 4, but neither did we get that for Lollipop, if I recall correctly (only N5 and N7 did, I think).
[Nexus 4 General] AidenM:
Yep, only Nexus 5 and 7 2013 got the L preview, but N7 2012 and N4 ended up getting the Lollipop update in the end.
[Nexus 4 General] PVL_93_RU:
Well, we did have an L Preview ported to Nexus 4, courtesy of [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION], I see no reason why one wouldn't do the same for M Preview as well

[Nexus 4 General] Planterz:
If not a port of a factory image, the Nexus 4 will still get custom ROM support with M. If Devs can build CM12.1 on devices that never got past Jellybean, getting M on the Nexus 4 should be a cinch in comparison.

I'd be surprised if the N4 got official M from Google. The word is that from now on Nexuses will get 2 years of updates. Us N4 owners are just lucky that we were given a device so awesome it's still capable and relevant 2.5 (and counting) years later.
[Nexus 4 General] dey2929:
It would be awesome if we get it....there no question of the hardware being capable as there are no major changes, i guess.
[Nexus 4 General] micku7zu:
[MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION]

I don't know if it helps, but I downloaded Nexus 5 latest 5.1.1 (LMY48B) factory images and Nexus 5 - Preview M images and extracted both of them.

I found out that the bootloader and radio are exactly the same. I extracted the system.img from both of this builds and found out this differences:

http://pastebin.com/gLxpvWwT

I was thinking to download Nexus 4 latest 5.1.1 factory images and try to modify system.img based on this differences, it's a good start ? I think that I will need some kernel modifications (boot.img) after this steps, right?
[Nexus 4 General] RiggyRiggs:

[Nexus 4 General] CallMeAldy:
From the diff it doesn't look as tough as L so I guess it is going be atleast 50% less headbangs for [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] .

Come on Señor :p
[Nexus 4 General] voron00:
Relax, gonna be just fine, n4 and n7 2013 use nearly same proprietary blobs (not just gpu, but gps and NFC), so porting that to n4 will be piece of cake.
[Nexus 4 General] Hikari:
I doubt it'll even be 10%. M is nothing half as major as L.
[Nexus 4 General] ddaggebi:
It is almost certain that we won't get official M. We n4 users were lucky to get 5.1, not just ending at 5.0.

However, high quality ports from N7 or N5 will be available(imo). We won't have any trouble with custom rom support.
[Nexus 4 General] ariesgodofwar:
I am sure an awesome dev with help us out. Heck, my screen on my Galaxy S 4G (yes, prior to the S2) cracked last fall, I was running 4.4.4 ports on hardware with the terrible stats of the SGS4G thanks to the dev Ninjas at XDA.

I have no worries that while we might not get factory, we will get an as good, if not better port.:D
[HTC Vox] reebzor:
Hey. So I'm sort of at a loss when it comes to my today screen. Im a huge fan of the layout of the default HTC theme, but not a fan of the green. I really like the blue of the windows theme, but I dont like the layout too much. So basically my question is... Where can I get that blue (and other) color schemes and themes for WM6 (that support the multioriented screen)?

Thanks a lot.
[HTC Vox] tig:
You can use Facade to change and customize your today screen.
[HTC Vox] KevinSephiroth:
I had the same trouble on WM5.0 ...

Open up windows folder in WinXP when synchronised with ActiveSinc (much faster than with the smartphone built in file explorer) and search for bmp files or jpg.

Copy them all and transfer them to the desktop, see if one isn't the windows screen ^^
[HTC Vox] djaxdjax:
I personalize my home screen in Notepad, I prefer more info on display:

Awesome, thanks guys.

Djaxdjax, I took your advice and just played around in notepad until i got something I liked!

How did you change your homescreen information with notepad? what file did you edit?

I'm looking to put a battery timer/percentage like you have on yours. Also, how did you change the colors?
[HTC Vox] reebzor:
Just open whatever *.home.xml file you want in notepad, add/remove whatever plugins you want. Save it and transfer it to the phone.

the homescreens are stored in \Application Data\Home
[HTC Vox] maaris:
reebzor, can you show as your edited .xml ? How to add battery timer/percentage ... and others...

[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Looks nice. Isn't your S710 getting slower? E.g more lag to build up homescreen or slower when navigating between apps?
[HTC Vox] paholman:
Thanks.

I can't say I noticed any huge performance difference, on saying that, I'm overclocking to 252 anyway :)

Perhaps slightly less battery power due to the refresh of the SmartMonitor resource features, but that also could be I used the phone a lot yesterday, finishing off the homescreen.

I've also been using this homescreen for a while now (before I started to post it) so really have no performance metrics to compare to.
[HTC Vox] paholman:
WTF has this got to do with this topic, or any other topic in this forum for that matter? :confused:

[Nexus 5 General] swiggins:
I believe the flash-all script from the website will overwrite the recovery.

So for the time being, no.
[Nexus 5 General] cell2011:
So this will work with latest twrp but not multirom?
[Nexus 5 General] NoteboyTech:
I flashed it.. but it's stuck on Google Icon.. .Not able to move..
[Nexus 5 General] swiggins:
No, because it will overwrite the recovery.

After running the flash-all script, the stock recovery replaces whatever recovery is on the device.

The flash-all script is not a flashable zip as you may be used to on the forums here.

It is a script that installs the files from your computer as opposed to using files in the zip on your device.

[Nexus 5 General] republicano:
Any noticeable bugs?, I haven't managed to install it yet.I take it's not a daily driver
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Technically, you should be able to flash the preview and then unlock the bootloader & flash TWRP recovery. Only 2 issues though. If there's the recovery flash script in the ROM like there was when L dropped, rebooting will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery every time. Other than that - if there are any kernel changes at all since the last MultiROM kexec patched stock kernel, we have to wait for Tasssadar to release a patched kernel.

I haven't looked into the new preview at all yet, but I'd still agree & say no MultiROM yet. Soon though!
