mock locations

I have a small issue to report:

I am playing ingress, a location based game. It checks if mock locations are enabled in developer settings. but even though there are no mock location app is selected ingress complains it is enabled. So, I've made my research. Some (very less in numbers) people appears to have this issue and it is resolved with clean install. But I tried clean install and did not help.

I have seen a setting in build.prop named ro.allow.mock.locations set to 1

I tried to change it to 0 and save the file, but it does no effect and file is reset to original with every boot.

I tried setting property with adb shell and it doesn't seem to have any effect either.

Please help. I want to play this game on my tablet.

With the new 02/04 testbuild I think the battery drain is a little bit better but not all.

There is also a signifikant drain, also with wifi switched off.

Attached screenshots with Wakelock Detector. There are many network related - "net_sceduler" - wakelocks by the Google Play Service and als0 by the Android System - "alarm" -.

In the Akku statistics this is under "Sonstiges" / "Misc...".

Wifi is off and also the WiFi function to scan the networks in standby mode.

The automatic wifi reconnection works well and also the connection by switch on the wifi.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
FYI, in my experience, most recent Android builds that use the 3.4 kernel experience high battery drain issues. Those that use the 3.0 kernel seem to fare better.

Sorry all been busy with work.

" http://evervolv.com/get/ev_tenderloin-6.0.1-testing-2016.02.10.zipev_tenderloin-6.0.1-testing-2016.02.10.zip Nightlies are having issues running again something going on with our server. So i ran a new test build for everyone. A few programs have been added AudioFX and replaced the stock music player with Eleven. Along with that a bunch of behind the scene updates. "

In regards to wifi i see eveyone helping out there. I live in the woods and not much around me so that would explain why i don't have any issues with wifi connecting. In regards to 5gh wifi, I activated that in the latest build which i have been getting back alot of positive feedback on that.

In regards to battery life, with all builds I try and make sure battery life isn't affected and if it is affected in goes in the right direction. Right now im averaging -30mA in sleep. This has been the standard on the 3.4 kernel, 3.0 kernel is lower. I have dug into it a little to reduce but really need alot of time to go through everything and find out what is causing the last -30mA. I know in 2.6 kernel it got down to -4mA which is my goal someday. I don't look at the built in battery module as it doesn't nothing for me and there are alot better apps that do more out there. Install battery monitor widget if you think you have issues with your battery drain and after resting for a while you should average about -30mA --- -45mA. If you are seeing higher then recommend a flash of A6 firmware and if that doesn't help it could be an app you installed causing it as well but try a clean install and bring your apps back a few at a time.

If i leave a fully charged TP alone i have done this on a friday afternoon and picked it up on Monday morning and it was still on, battery was about 7% but still on.

On a side not as i know alot of you are wondering BT. I get side tracked very easy, So i have started to look at it but a squirrel runs by and next thing i know im working on Theme issues. I will be refocusing my effort back to BT again. I have a feeling its something small and stupid but will require time to find it.

Enjoy the new build. If you live in New England like i do or even any of the high states for that matter hunker down this weekend we got a little chilly air coming. 8)
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Thanks Flintman. Seemed to take a bit longer to download and install. I did a clean install since I'd rather go through a bit more work but know I shouldn't have any leftovers causing probs.

And so far so good. There was a weird wallpaper that came with the new build, but a quick reapplying of Euphoria Dark CM13 got rid of it. So far running smoothly, will wait a day or two before looking at battery life (with GSAM... ok?). No issues with wifi.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Ya install does take longer as there are more checks. In regards to wallpaper that is our new default paper. As you noticed with boot animation we have (Nick) updated to be inline with google materialized look. I like them, they make me smile. With soo many themes out there everyone can customize the way they want. Glad wifi is working better

Flintman, the 2/10 version flashed with no trauma after wiping only system partition. Reboot went well, but the network do not auto connect to my known, saved home WiFi. After manually forcing it to connect, it only stayed up for 40 minutes or so. I've seen one event already of the exclamation mark beside the WiFi funnel in the upper right corner. This supposedly means the WiFi is connected except there is no Internet link. Internet access and programs can still reach out as normal. More testing to follow...
[TouchPad Development] axel_rex:
Yep, something strange going with WiFi... No connection (it is connected well), do not inform again and connect... But every restart need to repeat it, as well as connecting manually.

But, may be, it is my device model problems...
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Well being looking at the kernel and BT and decided to update the kernel to 3.4.110. Along with that i grabbed a patch from shumash that ported the 3.0 power code and was able to save an additional -7mA. I still have to put it through some tests but looking good right now for a little more power savings.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Good logs. Looking into it now

Similiar wifi issues, though it seems to be a bigger issue while using mobile hotspot.

Wifi never reconnects after sleep and drops after 30 minutes or so.

Further tests of 2/10 release

I've spent a little time with this edition. Notes and log below.

- lost screen touch once while actively typing mid sentence with SwiftKey input app.* Sleep/wake restored screen as usual.*

- I've noticed an occasional double type with SwiftKey keyboard. Auto-correct usually fixes it nicely, but I've learned to reread material before sending in case something slips through.*

- lost one icon on secondary menu under Nova Launch. There may have been an update from the play store yesterday,* but I don't recall seeing icons disappear before. Easily fixed from the Google master app selection menu. This observation may be a fault with the launcher or the update process. But you never know, I mention it just in case others see it also.*

- the "go back" left soft button at the bottom (nest of three centered) disappears for some apps,* but not all. Xda itself is affected, always, but BlueMail never. See screenshot. The button is still active and works properly when invisible location is pressed. Sleep/resume has no effect on restoring visibility.*

- network drops persist in nagging me toward insanity. I expect network drops when I roam around town, but I think the device should auto connect to my known, saved WiFi locations when in range again. I believe this may be the root problem with network issue.*

- Bluetooth no change,* will pair with external devices,* but nothing after that. For keyboards, the pairing process can see the input of the device code, but nothing after that. I don't have an audio BT device to test, but expect similar results.*

- Internet connection lost flag (small exclamation mark beside WiFi funnel) often seen, but all apps still work and can connect out to the full Internet as normal. This seems to be a mistake in falsely flagging the situation. Or this flag is marking some other situation.

- overall speed seems good most of the time, smooth and clean.

- Daydream setting does not work when the device goes into sleep mode. And the associated quick wakeup touch, only the home button or the power button will wake up the screen/device.
[TouchPad Development] blaz4me:
The App in the play market Connection Stabilizer Booster seems to help quite a bit, for anyone having wifi issues, should you be interested in a semi-temporary-fix.
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
for those with network connectivity / stability issue, can also give 'Use legacy DHCP Client' option a try; this option can be found under Settings, Developer options.

works well for me even though I m still on 0104 build; wifi used to cut in and out pretty option previously, now it occurs only once or twice during a 4-5hrs of video streaming.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
OK new build up. Biggest things are updated kernel and wifi module. If you like performance go into the evervolv toolbox under performance. Switch the scheduler to FIOPS and governor to smartmax. Its a great setup and pulled 18000 on a benchmark. in regards to everyone issues with wifi. I switched to using backports which is an external module build. Its the same setup as the 3.0 kernel so hopefully this will fix everyones issues. Please let me know. You should see alittle saving in sleep. i would average -30's mA now its a solid -27mA. READ FIRST POST AS IF YOU HAVE WIFI ISSUE ON A FIRST START DIRTY FLASH JUST REBOOT.

Happy flashing
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
The best peformance so far. Can't tell the battery results yet from a short time of testing. Still need to manual connect to wifi after reboot. No big deal for me. Great update. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I would be curious if a clean install fixes that. Thanks for the feedback.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
I have been holding off flashing the new version, in part because I haven't been having the wifi challenges others have been, and in part because the last version has been working so well (great battery, smooth and no issues with any apps.). But my flashaholic curiosity is getting the best of me. I usually flash clean anyway so I am charging up, will wipe system, data, cache and dalvic and give it a go.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Hi flintman. A clean install made a difference. Now after reboot, wifi reconnects automatically. I should test out more after I reinstall my apps from the backup. Thanks

Restored all my apps and they all run fine. Very good performance now. Thanks
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Best. Build. Ever.
[TouchPad Development] marc25v:
Hi Flintman and all,

Love the new nightly build. Performance does seems to be better. However immstill experiencing issues with Netflix and Youtube . when i clear my cache, i can get Youtube to work on the initial reboot, however if i close it, it will error out with "Tgere was an error whilenplaying". As for Netflix, i cant get it to work at all... It is producing error 1018 when trying to play anything.

Is this a common issue? Thanks
[TouchPad Development] jimjack:
Hi Flintman,

thanks for your work.

The test builds work so far.

But there is a problem with the HW+ decoder since the 02/04 build.

There is no HW+ decoder possible in MXPlayer and also no HD streaming.

The last build with running HW+ decoder is the 01/04 build.

With automatic Wifi reconnect there are no problems since the 02/10 test build.

I've tested the 02/04, 02/10 and the last 02/13 test builds yesterday with wipe cache/dalvik.
[TouchPad Development] Chevyguy85:
Log from trying to use youtube. I've been having problems with youtube for quite a while with different builds. I thought it was wifi related but since it seems like the latest 2-13 version fixes wifi, or at least significantly improves it, I'm not so sure anymore. Also having problems getting SuperSU to work. It won't update binaries from the Playstore version and I can't get the recovery flashable one to flash. I get an error of unable to find boot image. I thought I read something in this thread about that but I haven't been able to find it yet. Maybe it said not to use the newer versions of systemless supersu? I'm assuming I need supersu since Titanium just stays on 0% when I try restoring with the built in superuser.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Weird. I used netflix all last night and able to watch youtube videos fine. In regards to su its already built in. No need to updatr or install.

You got a clean install or is it a dirty flash. If dirty flash try a reboot could be a cache issue.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
I used both Neflix and YouTube with the new version without any issues. I clean flashed the ROM if that made a difference. I almost think that each individual device acts differently, since some have probs I haven't, and I suspect mine has had past probs that others haven't.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I did a clean install yesterday, including wiping cache and dalvik cache. I tested out YouTube video after seeing problems reported. I was not able to play video from youtube app. But after I wipe cache and dalvik cache again and reboot, I was able to play video from youtube app again. Not sure it is only temporary. There is another tv streaming app I cannot use hardware decoder at all (just audio, no video).

Youtube video just failed again. Since kodi comes with hardware decoder, I can play youtube video there.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Perhaps you still did this, but a clean flash means you wiped system, data, dalvic, and cache before flashing. Flashing just dalvic and cache is considered a "dirty" flash.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Hmm updating the hal a little more today.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Just to be sure of no residual issues, I would suggest a "Complete Data Reset" with TPTB, then "Install Android". However, you may have to manually enlarge /system to 1024mb. Though I seem to remember it was mentioned that as long as the Rom install script has the correct info, the /system volume will be sized on whatever the dev puts in the script, 800mb or 1024mb for example. I know that Android 5 and up needs a 1024mb /system size. Also, a method I use to install different builds by the same dev as wells as move to a different version such as CM, I use a DM aware version of CWM such as update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317.zip. Under "Factory Data Reset", there is an option to "Clean to Install a New ROM". This leaves your partition/volume structure intact but cleans up everything needed to install a different build of the same Rom or a totally different dev's Rom. I have used this method many times and never experienced an issue. And you will have to restore your apps, setting and data using this method too.

[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I did wipe everything with the exception of internal storage before flashing. This corrected the wifi reconnect issue.
[TouchPad Development] Chevyguy85:
This particular time it was a clean install but it's been the same for some while for me. Clean or dirty flash I still get an error from YouTube. The only thing I've done on this install is install TB, SuperSU, and youtube from the playstore since I can't get TB to restore anything or get SuperSU working.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Do a facory wipe and format just system. Reinstall with gapps. Su is already installed just install TB and thats it.
[TouchPad Development] blaz4me:
The integrated su needs its binary updated, i think..

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

Titanium backup said the binary was outdated. I tried restoring apps and data and it froze at 0 percent, which is usually indicitive of out dated binary.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

Anyway to update the integrated su binary?
[TouchPad Development] axel_rex:
With clean install WiFi re-connection issue fixed, YouTube works well, Titanium still didn't try - no time...

Change Data and Cache partitions to F2FS, of course not made any updates of SuperSU.

Thanks a lot for your work.
[TouchPad Development] Chevyguy85:
I guess I'll try it that way. Normally I wipe everything except "SD cards."
[TouchPad Development] Troyman:
Install the app super in normally update, robot TB is good. https://dailyuploads.net/jekio46k2jt6
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Did you make a backup of your previous install? If you did, you can use recovery to do a data only restore and that will give you back all your apps, settings, and data. In fact, if you are using TWRP, I believe it has a function to do a data only restore. Have not used it in a while, I prefer CWM which I've used it to do the same thing and it works great and no complaints about SU binaries.

GPS

Has anyone experienced problems with GPS? None of my applications will start or use gps...
[TouchPad Development] jimjack:
The Touchpad don't have GPS.
[TouchPad Development] JhoonB51:
Well, i guess that would be why! Thank you
[TouchPad Development] Chevyguy85:
Same problem for me as well.

I haven't done a backup in a while, not even sure I have one anymore as I usually delete them when they get old. Maybe I'll try an older version of SuperSU before it switched to systemless type thingie.
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
[MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION]. Do you ever think about to add CMA? Or doesn't it make any sense for our TP?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
You will have to install an app like Fake GPS if your applications need a GPS location to run correctly.

NT
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
Or use a BT--receiver, works great!
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Does not hurt to have one around just in case of a catastrophic event. Or you could use TWRP to do a data only backup. You can do the same thing with CWM, it's just not as easy as with TWRP. However, you can always do a data only restore from a full backup too.

NT

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

Don't think Flintman has the BT working on this version yet. But, when he does, that's an option. What's a BT receiver cost?

Of course, Fake GPS is free. :D

[MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION] is any chance to get working camera on marshmallow?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Well haven't look to deep into yet. Although a few commits were pointed out so i may try a camera build and see what happens. I have a wifi commit im testing now but look like it fixes an issue where wifi doesn't start and a reboot fixes it. I have a bunch of video updates and have tested youtube, netflix multi times without issues and even over multi TP's are fine. Just trying a few more things and will release a update in the morning.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I can't figure out where you are having su issues. I have have always just installed TB from the play store and of course need to change the setting under security as stated by TB and a popup asks if you want to give it access to su. click yes and poof. It does say that the SU is outdates but thats fine it will work. If it doesn't your backup is most likely the problem
[TouchPad Development] JhoonB51:
thanks guys, I will do some research on both and give it a try.

Marshmallow 6.0.1 related 2/13 test results (good and bad)

I've been knocked out the past few days trying to flash this new release. Here's my stream of consciousness and observations.

First, I eventually got things lined up and pulling for me properly. It seems faster, smoother and more stable. This is great progress now. The WiFi woes appear to be a thing of the past, as it reconnects swiftly to saved known Hotspot nearby. Way to go, Flintman!

Now the bad stuff and how I got it running. It took me four tries to flash the rom.

First attempt was a dirty flash by wiping only the /system partition. This resulted in the WiFi not starting at all or detecting any nearby routers. Start over...

Second attempt was better after I scrubbed /system, /data, cache and dalvik. But I bumbled when I ran titanium backup the first time and it asked me to keep/replace some unique id and I said to replace the new one with the old id. This resulted in an instantaneous reboot or crash. After the tp rebooted, the network went back to the previous inability to turn on or detect any routers nearby. Start over...

Third attempt I tried to recover the /data partition from a previous TWRP backup after flashing rom/gapps. This came to the same result as above. Start over...

Fourth attempt was slower but steady, allowing the system to download/install all apps from the play store. After everything settled down, I copied a previous backup from my NAS via Samba share using andsmb. Then rebooted and most things were right; I only had to reconfigure a few apps.

Lessons learned:

- don't let Titanium Backup change the ID when it asks. Bad things happen that take hours to correct.

- a factory wipe and format of /system and /data partitions is required. Be sure to take a strong backup before starting this upgrade.

Observed issues (mostly minor) :

- back button in bottom center still goes away sometimes, but not always. Just some apps. The function still works, but the soft key is invisible.

- BT, well what's to be said here...

- double touch has been seen twice so far. Using SwiftKey input app

- Daydream clock does not function when the TP sleeps while plugged into power.

Still testing performance, results later... But I'm very hopeful so far.
[TouchPad Development] Chevyguy85:
At this point i use my TP so little that only thing catastrophic to me woild be the device dies. Youtube, twitch, and web browsing are about it for me on this thing. So 1 out of 3 isnt too bad. I guess youtube has to be something on my end since its working for most other people. Twitch will only give me audio and the chat no video.

I used to use my phone for gps on the touchpad. Used to be a good app for that but that was a couple years ago.

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ----------

Just uninstalled restarted and installed TB I get no security warning. Not really going to bother you about it anymore. Wifi is immensely more reliable now so if youtube would start working for me I'd be set. Twitch just doing sounds and chat is acceptable as well. If you need more youtube logs let me know. I don't know if the one I posted was any help or not. I could go back and try to remember how to get logs via adb instead of using catlog, or use whatever app puts out the best logs for you.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Do a clean install with the build i release today should fix your youtube issue.

Marshmallow 6.0.1 related 2/13 (follow-up)

Overnight, the WiFi failed and shut down badly. This morning I found the WiFi OFF and would not come back on or discover any nearby Hotspot in the neighborhood. I then noticed that Titanium Backup was still running since 2am, stuck at 96% backing up WiFi network list of saved networks.

Rebooting the device brought the network back online. So I next tested Titanium Backup again while I watched to see if was causing the network to fail. Sure enough, when it got to the 96% point again, the network dropped hard and wouldn't come back online. Rebooted again to get the network back, captured the logs, disabled Titanium Backup to not run again and entered this note.

Titanium Backup is up to date. Even though I've paid for the premium edition, I'll have to put it aside until this new issue is resolved. Now what to do about backups... Hmm...
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
New build up should fix the wifi issue its up now.
