[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriegaffe:
Phone is Redmi Note 2, smartwatch is Moto 360.

Devices are paired but Bluetooth keeps disconnecting after a while - on smartwatch i have an icon of a cloud with strikethrough. Restarting and re-pairing helps but also - for a while.

I know this is MIUI problem because on unnofficial AOSP this problem does not exists.

Reported this in the bugs section on official MIUI forum but maybe someone knows some workaround. They don't seem to care much :/

Clean install of MIUI 5.10.15

Please help!
[General Questions and Answers] Rockstah:
I know there are a few different Threads on here that show how to make boot animations on your own, but I'm still learning and don't want to make something that looks like garbage. I'm hoping I can contract someone to make a specific boot animation/audio combo. I would need it to run in 1440x2650 30 fps. I have two specific ideas and would obviously pay whoever is interested in doing the work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewicc:
Hi there, I am having problems with my nexus 4. when i make a call sometimes.. i hear nothing, not the dial tone or the person on the other end, just silence. Restarting the phone seems to cure it, so i am having to restart phone quite a bit.

I did have my phone rooted and had a custom rom on it but for a while now i have been using the stock roms which i downloaded and upgraded when they become available over the air., on android 5.1.1 currently. I used the nexus root toolkit to root my phone by the way.

Do you think if i unrooted and completely wiped my phone and installed 5.1.1 again it would cure my phone of its problem, as it seems like a software issue more than a hardware one to me?

Does anyone know of the easiest way for me to unroot my nexus 4, wipe then install the stock 5.1.1 rom on it please?

Thanks in advance guys :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostel666:
Sounds you have the same problem I had after the latest update.

Good luck....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewicc:
I have had this problem for a while now, even before I updated to 5.1.1. What's the easiest way to unroot and then completely format the phone.. before putting on a stock 5.1.1?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elonus:
I never personally used wug-fresh but I'm pretty sure there is an back to stock option. If there is that will both unroot and wipe your phone.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] officer_slater:
Hi,

I consider buying the Sony Xperia M4 Aqual Dual. It is very important that my new phone is able to run the app “garmin” streetpilot: .gpspower.net/garmin-phones-tablets/333671-streetpilot-v2-36-v2-37-app-release-android-4-2-2-later.html?

Does someone have experience installing streetpilot on the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua / Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual ?

I use streetpilot to visualize offline topographic vector maps, navigate and to show my position on my current phone (Lenovo A660).

Maybe someone is interested in trying to install the app on a M4 or M4 Dual and give some feedback if it works or not?

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 5X General] hudsoncouto:
I'm starting this thread for owners of the Nexus 5x (maybe 6p too?) to share their results using third party camera apps that support manual controls. The most obvious one being Manual Camera.

The new Nexus phone both support the full range of manual controls, being:

- Shutter Speed

- Focus

- ISO

- White Balance

- RAW shooting

It should be interesting to see how much better results can be achieved by fully leveraging these controls, since the stock camera app is so barebones.

Post you photo samples, along with the settings you used! :laugh:
[Nexus 5X General] blinkin01:
I would also be curious about an app that has built in video stabilisation
[Nexus 5X General] AuxLV:
Some RAW images can be downloaded here. The same images developed using Adobe Lightroom with a bit of retouching can be viewed here. IMHO the quality is extremely good for a phone camera.
[Nexus 5X General] Marcksaf:
Third party camera apps aren't good as lg g4/g5 camera app.

Then the best thing would be to have a porting of this, because is the perfection of manual control camera apps!

But i can't do this. D:

Thank you in advance . please do reply.
[Nexus 5X General] redsmith:
Unfortunately, this device goes up to only 0.2 sec, nowhere near to 0.8 sec as the N5. The awesome camera almost makes up for it, but I'm sure Google could change this with a software update.

According to B&N's fact sheet, this baby runs KitKat and has a 300 dpi resolution. I wonder if it will be hard to root it? There are a couple of apps I'd love to run on such a device. No microSD card slot, though, and 2.8 gb of free space in internal storage If it csn be rooted, I'd be tempted to buy one.
[Nook Touch General] spedinfargo:
Stoked! Esp. the amount of space available compared to the previous model. Definitely hoping someone can root this quickly so I can put Dropsync on it.
[Nook Touch General] Nate the great:

[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
Great! I know you did a lot of work to help develop a rooting method for the last Glowlight. I plan to pick one up soon. I wonder if this one will be hard to root.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, I bought my Glow Plus, turned it on and it said, "Let's Get Started".

So I did.

The entire display is simply glued to the frame.

You can work a knife carefully around the rim and detach the display, folding it gently to the left side.

Does it mean your new Nook is rooted?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
It means that I have full control of my new Nook.

I still have to figure out a bunch of stuff.

Currently, to gain this access requires opening your Nook.

We may gain enough knowledge to make it possible to root without opening the Nook.
[Nook Touch General] dnastase:
Wow, you are good ! :)

I have the Plus too, lmk if you need testers ;)
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
I also have the Plus now, and I could be a tester, too.

I had a hard time getting my MacBook Pro with Android File Transfer to see my new Nook, but I finally succeeded. Then I tried Calibre. I got a "failure to communicate" error message from Calibre. I persisted and tried to send a book to the Nook. Calibre couldn't see the book on my Nook. However, it showed up in the Nook library after a few minutes. I also noticed that I can't create a new folder on the Nook using Android File Transfer. I only mention these things in case they might give someone else a clue in figuring out a rooting process.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
So, to let the cat out of the bag, getting a root console connection to the new Nook Glow Plus is quite easy.

There is a connector location, J4, which is quite clearly labelled with the pinout.

The output is 115200-8-N-1 on a 3.3V signal level.

TX refers to the output of the Nook, RX is the input, connect up ground, leave the V alone.

(Don't connect anything to this unless you understand the description above,

it's not anything related to a 9 pin RS-232 signal without a converter.

There are plenty of cheap USB-UART converters that run 3.3V that you can buy for $3.)

You can:

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb
setprop sys.usb.config mtp,adb

Then you will have (unrooted) ADB over USB, which is still useful to load things.

Those who don't want to scuff up their new Nook would do better to wait a bit.
[Nook Touch General] Mikegrmn:
I've been following this since I heard that a new nook is available. Funny that I stumbled over the waterproof Kobo h2o a week ago and thought, I could get me a new ebook reader (I had a couple of Sonys and then switched to LCD tablets). I just don't know if I should jump the gun and get one or if I wait until I see what you all can achieve. Tinkering with my toys is important to me, but loosing the waterproofing due to opening would be a bummer.

BTW, how does that aluminum shell feel. I like the front looks of the nook, but am not too convinced about the aluminum back.

Anyways, great work. Keep up with it. I'll probably see if the local B&N has them, and I may end up buying one without knowing about how this here will develop ;)

Getting new toys is just too tempting.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I've thought about the latter problem of reassembling the Nook.

The edging is a double-stick foam tape.

That's easy and convenient for the factory assembly.

You could just press it all back together and it would be 98% so waterproof as before, there's a lot of stick still left.

You could also clean all the tape off and put this back with a thin bead of silicone caulking.

This would actually be better waterproofing and not impossible to re-open your Nook.

[Nook Touch General] sunami88:
There are only two things I'm waiting on before I upgrade from my beat to heck Nook Simple Touch.

1) Root- I know this will take a little while, I can be patient

2) I would like to know if the issues with the glow light have been resolved.

I've actually been looking for a new e-reader for a few months now, but couldn't find anything I liked on the market. But a Nook Glowlight with Android 4.4 + water resistant + metal case? I'm in :) . You should see the gouges my poor old NST's screen has lol. Thanks for your work so far Renate.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
That's for you to wire in your GPS to make a really cool hiking map. :p

Um, it's apparently unused.

Ok, just to make your Nook livable for now:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
cd /system/priv-app
mv partner.apk partner.bak

This gets rid of the forced registration screen.

There is a launcher installed, but the HOME intent was removed from the manifest.

Install your own favorite launcher and it will reboot on that.

Can't install a "Launcher2.apk"? Try this:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
cd /system/priv-app
mv Launcher2.apk Launcher2.apk.bak
mv Launcher2.odex Launcher2.odex.bak

Now I throw on a few pretty fonts from my old Nook, install my Library and my Reader

and now I have the basic NGP that allows me to read the library book that I was reading.

That's the main point of this exercise.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Hmm, interesting.

Although, of course it requires rooting.

It still seems to me that it would affect the background on standard launchers as it just strong-arms the Wallpaper.

It doesn't address having a general directory where you could just pop in random images when you felt like it.

Also, I don't have partner.apk any more!

One of the issues with this whole question is that the sleep screen is drawn by the system user.

The system user does not have an access to "external storage", i.e. /sdcard

I could write a multi-image sleep screen, but I can't think of a good place to put the images.

OTOH, since this requires rooting anyway, I might as well make it /data/sleep
[Nook Touch General] clavierkid:
I'm on Mac OS 10.9.5. I did not load any drivers. When I searched for drivers, nothing really came up. I updated Calibre, and that works now. I do have access to a Windows computer, so I could look up what Device Manager says about it.

Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] Rhuarc:
So just to confirm, at this point it is possible on the Nook Glowlight Plus to install other apps for reading like Moon+ without having to crack it open?

Thanks everyone for all of the work you are doing on this!
[Nook Touch General] clavierkid:
Yes, if you can get ADB to work, which seems pretty flaky.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Hmm, I've never had much trouble with ADB.

That goes for Linux, Mac, XP, W10, Android.

(Yes, you can ADB from one Android to another.)

If you want to try the patch for cycling (or fixed if you only use one) user sleep screens, here are the (slightly) complicated directions.

Go to the signature below, then the page for mergesmali

Download mergesmali

Download nook45patch.zip

Unzip nook45patch.zip (it contains only one file now, Screen.smali)

Make the modified jar:

adb pull /system/framework/android.policy.jar
apktool d android.policy.jar -o \AP
mergesmali /v \AP\smali Screen.smali
apktool b \AP -o android.policy.jar

Sideline the original files:

adb shell
stop
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
cd /system/framework
mv android.policy.jar android.policy.jar.bak
mv android.policy.odex android.policy.odex.bak

Then push the new version up:

adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework/
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/framework/android.policy.jar
reboot

At this point you should have the Zzz sleep screen working

Copy your own images in:

adb push flowers.png /sdcard
adb shell
cd /data
mkdir sleep
cd sleep
cp /sdcard/flowers.png .
chmod 644 flowers.png

Add or delete images as you like.
[Nook Touch General] clavierkid:
Oh yeah, ADB works fine for my phone, but my Nook isn't connecting. It never brings up the authorization prompt for some reason, so it won't work.

Calibre works fine.
[Nook Touch General] slmillman:
I found a much less sophisticated way to set your own sleep image (and wallpaper, unfortunately).

For a routed Glowlight Plus, you can install any wallpaper you like (I used Wallpaper Setter)--it will be removed the second time after that you put the nook to sleep, so don't put the nook to sleep.. Then using a file explorer that can deal with root files (I used Total Commander) go to data/system/users/0/, find the file "wallpaper" and remove the write permission. Apply and reboot.

To change the sleep image you will have to restore write permission and repeat.

This hasn't caused me any side problems. Yet.

ADB Files

Can you help me with uploading the ADB files to my new Nook Glowlight Plus. I can't fine the files.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
You don't upload ADB to your Nook, adbd (the daemon) is already there.

You have to go to settings, click on the Build Number seven times and become a developer.

Then you can enable "USB Debugging", a/k/a ADB.

On your host, you need to install adb.exe

If you use Windows, you will have to load the driver too.

This can be found in the Android SDK, which is a bit large though.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools

There is also this pre-packaged minimal toolset:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

For Windows you will have to modify the android_winusb.inf file.

(See a few post before this.)

How to run my NGP into Normal

Hi,

I didn't carefully deleted the Nool.com.apk and Nookbook.apk files on the core file list with USB debugging.

The device did not display the home interface.

so i did the hard reset factory , but after this done, the system is running with three points until the power is empty and not performance the hard reset.

Now i don't know how to do.

thanks,
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Three dots? You mean the boot animation?

That turns on when it's booting and it turns off when something responds to:

android.intent.action.MAIN android.intent.category.HOME

That is, if you have a home activity.

If you don't have one, it will just play the animation continuously without a problem.

If your ADB is not enabled, you have a problem. You might try recovery.

(The hardware console UART inside the case will also work fine.)

If ADB is installed, you can install a home activity.
[Nook Touch General] sbwtxj:
thanks for your important messages.

What you said is what i met, i don't know how to deal with it.

Through four times interrupt the boot animation, now not display the home activity information.

My device plays the animation continuously with three dots.

I dont' know if The home lanuch apk was deleted by me.

I want to know if there is a simple method , which recovery the original system.

Or install the home activity apk.

So you told me two methods,

sorry for i know nothing, can you tell me try recovery steps ?

The ADB your said installed in PC or NGP?

Or give me about these with URL link.

thanks a lot, thanks!!!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
ADB (the client part) gets installed on your PC.

I covered that in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64535600&postcount=191

If you never got ADB working before you had your problems, you may not be able to get it to work now.

Plug your Nook into your computer.

Windows - use Device Manager:

devmgmt.msc

Mac OS

system_profiler SPUSBDataType

Linux

lsusb

Look for 2080 000A, there will probably be multiple interfaces.
[Nook Touch General] sbwtxj:
Thanks, i am studying the content.

But because i had a hard reset, the system is halt in booting with three dots, the USB Debugging disabled under Developer Options .

I can not connect Nook device with PC, but the PC shows an U disk(only a disk storage 2.6G,NOT NOOK directory in it).

How to go on?
[Nook Touch General] jwalraven:
Installing APK Software Only

To make a concise summary of what most be done, I am consolidating all of the steps for installing apps software side on Windows into one post. Note: Unfortunately, I cannot post links because I just created my account. All links are in code boxes and begin with "///".

Set up Nook

These steps have been previously mentioned, but for the sake of unity, I will mention them here again. On your Nook, select Settings > Software and tap "Software Version" many times until hidden menu shows. Once the hidden menu is open, scroll to and select Development Options. Scroll down and check the box for USB debugging.

Install Android SDK

Download and install the Android SDK from

///developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools

Optional: Add SDK tools to path to improve accessibility. Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables... > (Select PATH) Edit... > Add

;ANDROID_SDK_PATH\platform-tools

to PATH variable (where ANDROID_SDK_PATH is where you installed the Android SDK).

Install Universal ADB Driver

Download the Universal ADB Driver for Windows Installer from:

//plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/BQ5iYJEaaEH

Continue installation to completion.

Set Device Driver

Open Windows Device Management control panel by executing

devmgmt.msc[\CODE] in cmd.
Find, right click the BNR device, and click "Update Driver Software...". Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and then click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Select "HTC Android Interface" from the list and click next. A scary warning will pop up telling you the risk of taking such action. If you are willing to take the risk, click yes. Now, if you execute [CODE]adb devices[\CODE] in cmd it should have a device in the list.

[SIZE="3"][B]Install an App[/B][/SIZE]
To install an app on the device, download an APK (I used Nova Launcher [CODE]///teslacoilsw.com/tesladirect/download.pl?packageName=com.teslacoilsw.launcher

). Execute

adb install "APK_PACKAGE"

in cmd with APK_PACKAGE being the path to the downloaded APK. If you installed a launcher, an alert should pop up on the Nook asking which launcher to use. Select the new one and hit home. You should now be able to use your tablet as a normal device.

Hopefully I have recalled these steps properly. If there are any questions or corrections, don't hesitate to tell me. Have Fun!
