So perhaps someone here can help me with a problem:

My wife needs to get access to an etextbook on my phone and the app says it won't work on smartphones, only tablets. Any easy way to trick it into seeing my nexus 6 as a tablet? I'm on PN 1/9 and have xposed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mthous01:
I second this request.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alsgarage:
20,000!!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DA6030:
Can you elaborate? Is it a free or paid app? Where are you getting the error (e.g., Play Store won't let you install vs. Play Store downloads and installs the app ok, but the app throws error at runtime)?

Options could include: (if it's a free and popular app, and your error is on the Play Store) get the APK online from a popular APK mirror. If the issue is the app at runtime, you can play with the dpi on her device.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
which app?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] studiorat:
Next Question, I use Spotify, and the icon stays in the status bar ....I do not want it there I turned all notifications on the App but its still on anyone have a suggestion?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I am pretty sure that notification has to be there otherwise the OS will kill the app after a certain time, not sure you can get rid of it. I may be wrong though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
You will have to turn off the listen in background options to get rid of that icon.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

Use textdroid and set dpi to 165 should activate tablet mode. May make the rest of the phone look bad, but should work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] helix139:
Nm, figured out the problem. Looks like they have a separate tablet app and I just need to find a mirror
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GreeKNastY:
whats up everyone. if you could give a short and sweet comparison of this rom to chroma what would it be? more features? looking to try something different for the heck of it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Khizar:
Try the rom yourself and decide which you want to use. Really disrespectful coming into a thread and asking for a comparison with another rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Just a heads up, it is considered pretty disrespectful to ask for comparisons between ROMs in the threads. My advice is compare their changelogs/Githubs and see what features one has that the other may not and go from there. You can always backup your previous ROM, flash this one and see the features and restore if you don't like it. If you really want some hard comparisons though, PM me.

Wow for once [MENTION=4519152]Khizar[/MENTION] ninjas me hahahahaha
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
check youtube... my piece of advice..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
The biggest difference is that this ROM and Chroma are spelled differently. Also, one is coded by naked devs that only drink guava smoothies.

You could argue that Pure is taller, but I think it's just the shoes.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gwwjpd:
Short and sweet...

Pure Nexus > Chroma

Lol, just had to.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] almahix:
in my experience they are both terrific ROMs, and fairly similar. When I switched to MM, I used Chroma. I used it for many months. Then I had a specific problem with Apex launcher that could not be corrected so I tried Pure. It didn't have the same issue. Maybe Chroma has been updated and the problem went away. Both ROMs are produced by dedicated developers and I for one appreciate their contributions to the Android communities. Both ROMs are worthy of consideration. Which one is "better" is subjective. We all use our phones differently.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] derdjango:
What kernel is this ROM using? Does it have flar2's wake gestures implemented?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikeprius:
I've tried both and I personally used Pure Nexus for quite some time. There's no "right" ROM, it's merely preference, similar to a Ford or Chevy. Both are good ROMs
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikeymopar:
if you still have the hankering to rid your status bar of the icon then - settings>apps>spotify>notifications>block all

...but this also removes the control from the dropdown panel which in turn could be overcome by using the decent looking widget

can't say in the long term what all will be blocked, you gotta just test it out to see if you can deal with it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
It is the stock kernel and no it doesn't not have flar2's wake gestures.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
read the ops of both ROM threads, then make your decision. what ROM you choose to try makes absolutely no difference to me. or, better yet, try each ROM for a day, then decide.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LenAsh:
Hijacking a Development Thread asking for a comparison between this and A.N.Other ROM is not a good idea.

I have left your post intact because you have received a number of well considered replies from others that rather sum up the community views... with admirable restraint.

... use THIS FORUM next time please.

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LittleJakub:
got a question - is anyone using the newest build with franco kernel? if yes, what are the installation steps?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
flash it in recovery. for best results, reflash the ROM and the kernel, then boot up. but you don't have to reflash the ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LittleJakub:
if it will my fresh install:

1. erase system/data/cache/bla-bla-bla...

2. install Pure Nexus Project

3. install GAPPs

4. install franco

and also - does anyone know if it works?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikeprius:
I would boot up the ROM first if it is your first time running it, then go back into recovery and flash the kernel which will overwrite the existing one. As far as it working, the developer has stated it is in working order so it appears to be the case.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LittleJakub:
I want to install kernel directly to skip phone encryption :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikeprius:
Installing the PN ROM will automatically de-encrypt. The developer for the ROM had made that a built in feature, so if that's your reason you don't need another kernel if you don't plan to toggle the CPU, etc. Also franco kernel also automatically de-encrypts as well. In fact, I don't know any ROM or kernel that is including encryption as it is pretty much understood everyone wants to be de-encrypted LOL
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
they dont auto unencrypt, they give you the option to unencrypt. to unencrypt, you have to format your storage first, then boot up unencrypted.

but i have a question.. why do you want to unencrypt? it does not make your device faster. my device is encrypted, and is one of the fastest n6 out there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikeprius:
I don't encrypt in the event something happens to the phone I can still retrieve information without having to rely on the de-encryption process/keys. This happened to someone I know who encrypted his entire micro SD card on his Samsung then something happened to his phone and he was unable to retrieve what he had on it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
i keep mine encrypted, but.. since i do not use any security, its the same as keeping it unencrypted. maybe a few days last year i used a secure lock screen, because it was needed. from what ive found out though, that most xda peeps decrypt their phones to make them "faster", which it will not do.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scryan:
Judging by your last reply, I am guessing you are actually encrypted and dont realize it. Your phone came encrypted and will remain so until you flash a kernel or rom that does not force encryption AND manually reformat (not just wiping) the userdata partition to get rid of the encryption that is already in place.

Check by going to settings -> security -> encrypt phone to see.

Its absolutely crazy how many people think they are unencrypted, but don't understand how it works and did not actually reformat to restart with an unencrypted partition.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikeprius:
I think the "speed" issue is fairly negligible although there possibly may be some merit based on the video below:

https://youtu.be/2gmdRlg0vag

I'd personally rather have my device unencrypted to always have access to my information and also I do prefer the bootloader unlocked to avoid issues. Compared to your position, I do always keep a pattern lock though as a basic form of security since I work e-mails (not like Hillary Clinton though LOL) and personal e-mails.

In the event I were to lose my phone, I can remotely wipe/format it and a basic pattern lock would stall long enough for me to do it.

I think the biggest security risk is losing your phone vs. bootloader/encryption. I've found like 5 different iPhones, a few iPads, and a few Samsung devices in the past
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikeprius:
I'm guessing you are wrong
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
that video is from the year before last, with android 5.0. there were issues with encryption back then, but those issues have been fixed/solved by now. ask that guy to make a current vid about it.

anyways, I have found iPhones, and Samsungs, and currently have an iPhone in my backpack, that I found, but I keep it there until I remember to skip it across the bay that I live by.

I don't keep anything that important on my phone. the only thing of importance to me that's on my phone is my photography. but once I upload it somewhere, then its importance is diminished. lol, I seem to be a very boring person, but I'm not! I just keep my hidden stuff in other places rather than in my phone :angel:

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

oh, about that video, or about the n6 at that time. it did read/write much faster back then while unencrypted. but, I don't own a computer, so its speed in read/write didn't affect me. performance otherwise was equal, except where read/write was important.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scryan:
What happens when you click that button (you still have to go through more dialogs to encrypt)

That encrypt phone button is a standard part of the android menu, and there even if your encrypted IIRC., you have to go into the encrypt phone menu to actually see if it gives you the option to apply encryption or if its already encrypted.

I don't say this to make fun of you... Its just that you said installing automatically decrypts... Nothing automatically decrypts.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikeprius:
When I click the button a secondary splash screen asks if I want to apply the encryption. I think my post was taken out of context tbh. I should have worded it differently
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scryan:
Why not try and find a lost and found, return the phone, or even leave it incase the person comes back to where they last had it instead of putting energy into throwing other people's stuff into the bay?

:rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

K, sounds like your good. No problems... I have just talked with a very large amount of people who are adamant that they have decrypted, insist on gains, ect, ect... Some even who get mad on when you challenge them... Then you have them check and they are not. It's a much more common thing then I would guessed, when you mentioned the rom automatically decrypting you sounded confused, even if you're not or that wasn't your intent and given that you had a legitimate/functional reason for wanting to not be encrypted I just wanted to make sure you had the setup you meant to.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikeprius:
I'll be honest, whenever I find stuff like that or anything of value I'm tempted to keep it for use it for personal use, but I've turned in everything I've found from tablets, to phones to expensive watches. I know "possibly" that it could be either someone's only storage of kid's photos of important events (camera), or sentimental value given from someone as a gift.

The only thing I never turn over is cash (which I would do as well) as I don't trust people if I turn it in. I've also found a big sachel of cash before, but I kept it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
i tried, for about a year. no one claimed it. i found it in manhattan, at a bus stop. even posted a note there. but.. the second thing that would bring joy to me would be to skip it across water. and its about its time..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] remicks:
Not stepping on Nate's toes here but I fired off a CMTE branch build from the 24th and have been running it almost 48 hours with no issues. I spoke with him about assisting with building the CMTE branch for you guys to take some of the load off of the poor guy so I am going to post the link to this TEST build (read: [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] ain't gonna help with bugs on this one yet) on my AFH account.

DO NOT REPORT BUGS ABOUT THE CMTE BRANCH BUILD IN THIS THREAD OR GOD WILL START KILLING KITTENS!

That being said, here you go: SUPER MEGA ULTRA UNOFFICIAL TEST BUILD FOR Pure Nexus CMTE BRANCH

Edit: fixed the link, silly XDA Labs app...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
This still AOSP?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, just has the CM Theme Engine instead of Layers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
still aosp
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Khizar:
Yes

Haha [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION], you're back..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] remicks:
Jeez, like a freaking ninja. Haha
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Ayyyyyyy lol. I'm syncing the Layers source right now I've got nothing else better to do. I was trying to compile it in my native OS X before I said screw it and moved to Virtual Box so I've been doing a lot of waiting haha.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] BRKotucs:
What GApps are you guys using for this build?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Khizar:
Any MM gapps should be fine but I personally flashed open pico.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nirvana Rules:
Clean flash test build. Installed xposed and cmte is fcing. Any idea?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Khizar:
Try clearing themes/theme provider data. If no go, clean flash without xposed or uninstall xposed.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] rbedell:
Use the toolkit to uninstall and reinstall your drivers. I've had the issue of it not showing up sometimes. Fully removing and following the guide with wugs toolkit works great to solve these problems. Don't forget to reboot your computer when it says to do so.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56913254
[Nexus 6 Android Development] treysmith7:
Yeah, even using the NRT toolkit and updating the drivers that way, restarting computer, it still doesn't show and the NRT says it cannot connect to ADB. Hmmmm..... guess I'll keep searching.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EvilDobe:
Plug your phone in. Launch Device Manager (start|run|devmgmt.msc <enter key>) and look for any drivers that didn't install properly and/or remove your phone's drivers even if it's there. if Wugfresh doesn't work it means you're either missing the proper drivers or the ones you have got corrupted.

Also - reboot your computer? Rebooting fixing everything.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rbedell:
Exactly. The manual removal through the kit helps a lot. It shows all drivers and it tells you which ones you should remove before rebooting and reinstalling. I forget the windows app it launches but its not device manager even though that is the first step to removal. The second is a different windows application.

[MENTION=7004898]treysmith7[/MENTION]

Follow these last few posts. Its pretty effective but you have to follow the directions thoroughly. & use Wug's in the link I just posted. It has a whole guide to reinstalling drivers. Not as simple as just going to device manager. Trust me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] treysmith7:
I downloaded the google drivers again using the toolkit. Says they installed correctly. Rebooted computer again. Opened device manager, don't see anything for the phone regardless of whether I am plugged in with USB cord or not, nothing changes. Sorry for the crappy images, I can redo that if it helps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rbedell:
Ah you do have wugs but follow the uninstall part, you are skipping a step... If I have to I will whip out my surface pro 3 and show you what I'm talking about. Give me a moment. I'll whip something up for you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] treysmith7:
On Wug's guide it said to skip to step 3 if first time to install drivers. This is a new computer so that is what I did. When I go through step one for uninstalling it says there is nothing to uninstall. Am I missing a step? Sorry.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rbedell:
Have you ever connected a phone to that computer before?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
try a different cable
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rbedell:
Its possible that like the previous post it could be the cable, but if windows automatically installed drivers for you I would recommend following the complete guide in removal and reinstallation. Even more so if a different android phone has been connected to it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] treysmith7:
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! The other cable was working enough to let it charge from the usb port, but using a different cable all the sudden allowed the computer to see it. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
There are cables out there... The cheap ones... That do not support data transfer...

They only have 2 of the 5 pins connected
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EvilDobe:
When you plug your phone in does anything happen? If you plug it in to charge does it charge? If you plug into the computer & nothing happens it generally means..

A) USB port on phone is fubar.

B) Bad USB cable

C) USB port on computer is fubar.

Try plugging your phone into a different computer. Same results?

Try plugging your phone in using a different cable. Same results?

Try plugging into a different USB port on the computer. Same results?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ttabbal:
They usually come with some thing or another that doesn't need to move data. I throw those away, well, I use them for parts. :D They are crap and not worth keeping around to confuse people. Good USB cables are so cheap (monoprice ftw) that I don't bother with crap cables anymore.

Weather has been busted for a week or so. I tried multiple ways to fix. In the meantime, just use a different weather widget. The native weather update (pulldown upper right hand corner) is linked to Yahoo weather and is also affected.

Yes. No new radio.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Oniska:
I would suggest you guys to get "Chronus" in the Google Play store. You can choose 5-6 different weather information carriers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikeprius:
Next build I'll dirty flash a working nandroid next release to see. I tried toggling the weather source in the past and it still had issues with both sources granted this was last week or so. I noticed sometimes when I deleted the widget and put it back it would update.

Outside of that I had the newest bootloader and radio with no other issues.

It's not so much the actual weather as there are lots of widgets but I like keeping the stock Google look. I'll admit the stock weather widget is lacking but I just love the stock look. I have the stock wallpaper even.
