[Nexus 5X General] graffixnyc:
Yeah well if someone relies on toolkits only, and say something goes wrong.. They have no idea how to fix it, then they are here trying to get people to fix it... Not every one is an Android nerd but come on, these are nexus devices.. If you do not know what you're doing, you shouldn't be messing with and modifying your device. Just because I can take my toaster apart, doesn't mean I should.. Or just because I can modify my car doesn't mean I should do it myself.. You wouldn't go messing around in your cars engine if you didn't know what you were doing, so then why is ok to mess with your phone when you have no clue what you're doing?

I do not flash roms or kernels anymore, I'm not even rooted nor is my bootloader unlocked. People do not take the time to read and learn how to do things for themselves.. They expect to be hand held and spoon fed. How did I learn? By screwing up my device and reading how to fix it and doing the leg work myself..Not coming here and expecting people to basically be my help desk. I'm very much a supporter of learning by your own mistakes and learning how to fix them.. If you don't then you'll never learn anything.

I've been on xda for coming on 5 years now. The Nexus sections always had more experienced and seasoned users.. Now look at these sections, so many clueless people who need how-to videos and step by step instructions. They ask and post the silliest things.. The lack of knowledge is now at an all time high and it's because people do not want to learn, they just want instant gratification, their hand held and everything made easy for them.. It hurts my head reading some of these threads.. Never has the moron factor been so high in nexus sections . This use to be a forum for developers by developers, now it seems like more and more developers are leaving (just look at older nexus development sections how busy they were compared to more recent ones) now xda is more of a end-user community. There is nothing wrong with not knowing something, but at least take the initiative to learn, why should I take my time to learn and put in the work and then just spoon feed it to someone else? No F that.. If I put in the work, then so should they..

Sorry.. That's been building up for quite sometime.. I kinda started with one thought and ran off in another direction.. It wasn't directed to you.. Lol just saying..

I heard there were quite a few problems with WugFresh for some people on their Nexus 5Xs in previous weeks. Has this now been resolved ?
[Nexus 5X General] jzyoufool:
Nope. Busybox still won't install and there are some issues when flashing TWRP.
[Nexus 5X General] SlyUK:
People are therefore using manual adb method I guess. Slightly off-topic are people decrypting once unlocking the bootloader ?
[Nexus 5X General] jzyoufool:
I'm not sure what the story is. NRT worked fine for me when I was on the "I" release but once I updated to L and M it has the present issues. I tried reflashing back to "I" but it still wasn't working properly. I imagine these things will get sorted out soon enough. I unlocked the bootloader with NRT when I was on "I" and have not heard any issues with that, so I assume that portion of the tool is still working fine. Really the only problem is busybox not installing, as you can get around the other issues by manually flashing TWRP with the advanced utilities.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
I used this NRT to root my Nexus 5X. While everything went smoothly, the only thing that sorta went "wrong" was after flashing TWRP, it would boot back to bootloader and try to flash (and fail) the stock recovery. Which.... Made no damn sense at all, lol. So I would have to reroot and reflash TWRP, and unplug the cable as soon as that was done.
[Nexus 5X General] formula91:
Don't use flash to stock+unroot on this.

It formatted my drive to 16 GB instead when I have a 32 GB phone.

[Nexus 5X General] JeeperDon:
I played with it, tried root, went back. The two things that suck are you still can't make /system into r/w, which means you can't do things like add AdAway. Also it's got the dumb "we think you broke it" boot splash screen (?? It's a Nexus! I can't play if I want?). The last Nexus I had, the Dec 2011 "Galaxy Nexus" was clean after root other than small unlock image, and the pre-M Androids allowed r/w on /system. Fortunately, the stock phone and OS are pretty great.
[Nexus 5X General] jimmyschmidt:
I haven't had any of these problems. Call me crazy, I also use a browser when connecting to the internet and a car when going to the grocery store. And I use XDA when I want to know the best way to do something on my devices.

[XDA Assist] ChrisDovahkiin:
My coworker bought an LG Realm for $20 from some dude. It worked fine for two days. Then he was letting it update, and his daughter dropped it mid update, and the battery popped out. Now, it will ONLY boot into recovery mode. He choose 'Clear all data' and 'Clear cache' before he handed it over to me. The recovery menu is telling me:

E: missing bitmap stage_empty

(code- 1)

E: missing bitmap stage_fill

(code -1)

He said it was running KitKat (4.4.2)

I'm more PC savvy than phone savvy, so I came here. It would appear that I can't get into the phone from my PC as it not in debugging mode, which can't be set as it will not boot. Also, it does not recognize my micro SD Card.

Can anything be done to restore, recover, or just get this damn thing to boot?

Many many thanks!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ORTOX:
I'm looking for some help with flashing CM 12.1 on a Nook Tablet. It was a gift from a workmate and I thought I would give it to my wife, but wanted to give her a full blown Android tablet, not a Nook device.

I have CWM recovery flashed on the device and I can boot to recovery no problem.

I had flashed CM 12.1 a few days ago with a version of GAPPS, but it was crashing routinely so I wanted to reflash with a different GAPPS version.

I think I may have done something wrong. Here's the procedure I used. In CWM I reset to factory, formatted the cache, and formatted the Dalvik cache. I also formatted the data, rom, system, and all other partitions OTHER than boot. I did not format boot as I know this would brick the device.

Now that the device was totally wiped clean, I mounted the internal USB to my computer while in CWM and brought over my CM 12.1 zip and GAPPS zip.

I then unmounted and flashed both zips without any errors. I then rebooted. During the reboot, I get a flash of white and then I'm right back to recovery. I tried flashing again and same thing. I'm not sure where to go from here. I think what I'm going to try is putting the zip files on an external SD card and flashing from there but I don't think that's going to change anything.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ORTOX:
Well, tried a couple of things last night. I tried flashing the CM 12.1 snapshot from 11-17-15 from the internal SD partition without GAPPS and got the same result. After reboot, just brings me right back to recovery after a flash of white.

Next I tried installing the 10-07-15 snapshot from an external SD without GAPPS and got the same result.

Do you think I hosed something when I formatted all partitions other than the boot partition? From everything I read about CWM, it seemed safe to do so. I know of course not to wipe the boot partition, but didn't think that wiping the other partitions could brick the device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ORTOX:
I'm sorry, this should be in the Q&A section. Mods, please move if possible.

Hey all, I've just got my Z5C the other day and just can't seem to get on with it due to the lack of gravitybox tweaks I've been spoiled by and other things like DPI changing without breaking swiftkey.

I'm on the latest firmware (32.0.A.6.152) and wondered if it was possible to root on this version? Thanks all
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilezon:
Yes, it is possible to root using TWRP.

You might want to re-put the TMobile ROM on there (you can find it on HTC America's website) and then try again. What program are you using to try to flash the XM6 ROM?

XM6r3's forum thread also states this requirement: "You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other). "

[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
Display: 4/5 - i dont have or see many of the problems people have complained about regading this. My display is crisp, sharp and bright. My only small complaint is that it can be prone to scratches from what I hear. With a user-replaceable front, this isnt a huge deal

Performance: 5/5 - This phone is fast, snappy and is a joy to use and scroll thru menus. No lag at all

Battery: 4/5 - Coming from a droid maxx, I am getting about a day and a half on this with moderate usage. On my maxx I was easily able to get 2. With turbo charging though this is not a problem or issue

Customizability: 1/5 - Since there is no root nor does there seem to be ANY dev interest in the DT2, this gets rated very very low. Only reason I gave 1 point is because I am able to disable MOST vzw bloat.

Feel: 4/5 - Coming from the Maxx, this is definitely a larger and lighter phone. I perfer my devices a bit on the heavy side as it feels sturdier to me. However, I am getting used to the size and feel. I just wish I could use it comfortably with one hand.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bballengphd:
Does any owner of the Turbo 2/X Force know if this device has front color LED notification that gives different color for different apps?

TIA.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] elvee68:
None for the Turbo 2. Just the Moto display. Now it would be nice if you could change the color of Moto Display.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] XXchocolatetouchXX:
I came from a LG G3 and so far the phone has been an upgrade! Screen is about the same. 0.1in is not noticeably smaller. Screen seems always brighter than my G3. Brightness all the way down is bright for laying in bed at night.

Performance is great. I feel if root is an option it'll only get better. Debloating it will be huge for performance upgrades. But the hardware is certainly there.

Battery so far has been great. Typically 30% when going to bed, when on the G3 I'd have 30% aroind 5pm. So I'd have to charge at least once before bed. With the turbo 2 it'll last all day.

No root, and maybe none is saddening. Biggest fit at first was the dpi, which I changed, but some apps parts are broken and it sucks. No big deal but it just looks worse. With root I'll be much happier with this device, but I can't blame the device.

Feels good as a device. It's sturdy and doesn't feel like it'll break easy. Especially with the shatterproof screen. I am using a UAG case and its sort of bulky, but no big deal.

Overall, I enjoy this phone and do not regret trading it. An upgrade to marshmallow or root will be huge for the future of this device. But that's all software and not hardware.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bballengphd:
Thanks for the reply.

I was hoping these 2 would have color front LED.
[Android Auto General] krcsimple:
Waze on twitter mentioned, "Android Auto is on the way". No plans for Apple CarPlay.

I just tweeted Waze asking when we can expect Waze to be compatibly with Android Auto. Awaiting a response.
[Android Auto General] ireknole:
I've never used waze, but how will that functionality be different from what is already offered with Google maps?
[Android Auto General] krcsimple:
Search youtube for videos regarding Waze.

For a short explanation: Waze is a crowdsourced mapping solution. Users that are actively navigating via the Waze navigation input road conditions, pot hole locations, debri in the roadway, road closures, traffic jams, traffic accidents, construction areas, and where police are located. This notifies other Waze users who are going through the same area of the aforementioned conditions ahead. After a few users pass through the area and do not see the tagged item, they simply let the app know that it is no longer there, and it gets cleared from the map. So it is constantly updated and fairly accurate.

City road contruction actually has been known to use waze to locate pot holes that need to be repaired around the cities.

It will be Android Auto's main killer app.
[Android Auto General] ireknole:
Oh sounds awesome! Does Google maps already pull in waze data and this functionality will allow users to update it or will waze be a standalone navigation app?
[Android Auto General] krcsimple:
Waze is standalone.

However, some data is cross referenced with google maps. The only thing I've seen cross over is traffic accidents. Google bought out Waze not too long ago.

Within google maps it will actually show that it was inputted through Waze.
[Android Auto General] PaisanNYC:
Google bought Waze years ago! :)

I would love to see Waze on AA. But with big buttons to easily tap while stuck in traffic. They better not say they won't for the driver safety reasons. The whole idea of Waze is for the driver to submit notifications while driving :)
[Android Auto General] krcsimple:
I'd expect it to be integrated with voice commands. That way you wouldn't have to tap anything to report road conditions.
[Android Auto General] manos78:
Yeah! This will be perfect! :laugh:
[Android Auto General] malimal:

[Android Auto General] Gabryael:

[Android Auto General] war1:
Google Maps now receive information from waze. Very good.
[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
This could be the method of integration with Android Auto then. And Maps can be pickier about not showing distracting info or offering methods of inputting data.

Is there some setting required ?

I can't see any Waze stuff in Maps, on Nexus 9 with Android N dev preview or on One M8 with MM GPE.
[Android Auto General] war1:
Only install waze. You only see information on android auto google maps.
[Android Auto General] o0adam0o:
Can't wait for it to happen
[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
Instead of Waze + WHAT ? I don't understand.

If Maps is not installed, AA will attempt to install it, and refuse to run if it is not installed.
[Android Auto General] HairyMilkshakes:
Not a good idea. Waze's interactivity and user-generated reports are far more accurate and more interactive than what Google Maps currently offers. I would rather run the Waze program as a standalone. Not sure what Google's approach for it is considering they have to either pick between one or the other or having to put in resources to bring Waze to the AA market and maintain both at the same time.

There's still no updates from the development team regarding bringing Waze to AA other than "it's coming." Only time will tell.
[Android Auto General] marcjero:
I'm afraid this will never happen.

At beginning I was very excited about AA. There are (still) many issues/bugs and I'm running a Nexus device + OEM head unit. No hack anything standard and it's still not stable.

Second point is AA is very proprietary and closed and limited. Google wants you to use Maps and nothing else. Devs can only brings apps to messaging and media. Moreover AA apps have to be deployed through playstore. As a result you only find very few AA apps in the playstore.

Now I think that a basic mirroring solution would be a better. choice. Mirrorlink already exists but is not widely deployed (Nexus devices don't support this).
[Android Auto General] ski522:
What will never happen? Google owns Waze, doubt they would say it's coming for AA and then not actually do so..granted vendors say things and not deliver, but I suspect that Waze, which is an ideal AA app, is definitely on AA's roadmap.
[Android Auto General] marcjero:
So I don't think we will ever see Waze on our head units. I think Waze really wants to go to AA but Google has to agree with that. Google has to open more AA APIs for Waze. So the decision is up to Google not just Waze. I really hope I'm wrong.
[Android Auto General] arghness:
I'm really hoping for some news on new APIs for developers for use with Android Auto at Google I/O, allowing for more 3rd party apps.

I've had this issue on stock rooted kitkat 4.4 on my z3c since I've had it ( or since I rooted it, don't remember - since I rooted it right after getting it)

I recently installed the debloated/rooted/xposed version of 4.4 available here on xda, and did a full wipe and clean install.

Now I'm using Simpler contacts instead of Sony contacts and whenever I make a call or select a contact it asks me which app to use, every time! So the problem has persisted. It seems like regardless of if I set the defaults, it forgets or ignores that and asks me every time.
