Hi,

I am working on a coffeemaker that helps people diagnosed with dementia getting a bit of there independence back. It has to show the directions of the coffee making process. The coffeemaker has some sensors placed on it to register what steps have already been completed and has a arduino + bluetooth module for communication. I would like to build an app that makes it possible to show a particular page of the app>res>layout depending on what number it gets from the arduino. So basicly it should whent receives like a 4 from the arduino it should set the contentview to r.layout.4. I am a absolute noob at android programming and I have no clue where to start. I even cant get the Bluetooth connection to work. The arduino code is working so when I am using a android Bluetooth serial terminal I can communicate with the arduino.

So it has to fetch the data of the incoming bluetooth (serial) data and according to that data view a page on the app.

I am also able to create the layoutfiles with the desired text and pictures.

Do you guys have some tips and like a good tutorial for me or some help/advice?

I have looked at the android development pages but I simply cant get it to work.

Thank you in advance,

Marijnsp
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlengner:
My Nexus 6 has presented me with an interesting challenge. During my attempts/process to root my phone, inevitably, one must reboot your phone. And as the reboot takes place the phone always goes into the "Charge" mode and not the "File Transfer" mode that the phone was in as it began the root process. I'm at a cross in the road because I cannot complete the root process. The only option that has presented itself to me is to restart the phone. And while my phone works properly, it halts the root process. I have just purchased another USB cable that charges and transfers data/syncs to cover that question. Any hints would be appreciated. I have had this phone unlocked using Chainfire's Nexus Root Toolkit a while back. It worked flawlessly. I've not really been interested in a custom ROM/Kernel etc. but in continuing to research this area. I'd like to try and unlock then root the phone again. Any hints would be appreciated
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wosumner:
If your phone got the January update from Google, they patched a ton of the "exploits" that previously were/can be used to root Android devices. These were pushed out to the Nexus line by Google and made available for OTA by wireless vendors otherwise. This could be the issue you're running into now. If you haven't updated, then I think you just may need to find an alternative rooting method, as the one you tried may not be 100% compatible or is missing some sort of command to direct the device to go into file transfer/download mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlengner:
I really appreciate your perspective. And without a doubt I'll look around and see where this goes. Just reading about all the work that has taken place since I purchased the phone, the landscape is a lot more enticing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexDoran:
Hi everyone, I recently got a Novatech nTab II (RK3288 Chip), I think this tablet is pretty much a clone of a Pipo P1. The Tab comes rooted but does not have Google Play Store. So i flashed TWRP onto the tablet and flashed GAPPS for KK4.4.2 (Which is what comes onto the tablet), this is where it all started to fall apart LOL

The first problem was that there was a constant error of System Installer has stopped working. I went back into TWRP and renamed SystemInstaller.apk so that it did not give constant messages. Anyway, the Google Services wont connect. I decided to try and flash a RileyRom for the Pipo P1, but wanted to backup in TWRP first, I tried to backup but i got the error E: Unable to mount Internal Storage. I done some digging online and tried to format the UserData and Data partitions through TWRP but each time i got the same error E: Unable to mount Internal Storage.

Onto the next solution, i tried to format the partition using ADB but i cannot get the ADB Shell to work, it always gives 'Error: Closed'. I've tried updating the ADB, constant Restarts of PC and Tab, Stopping and starting the ADB server, switching to CWM and formatting the partitions there, using sideload in CWM, nothing seems to let me use the Shell.

I can see the device is in Sideload when i send ADB Devices through ADB, but as soon as i try ADB Shell i get the error.

I need the backup because Novatech refuse to release their firmware.

Even if i do flash the Pipo P1 ROM and it is stable i still need to format the partitions, they no longer even show when loaded into system.

Desperately need some help with this and any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Alex

PS: Also would someone help me try and identify if the Pipo P1 RileyRom1.8 will work on the Novatech nTab II they appear to use the same Tablet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexDoran:
OK so for anyone out there who like me could find no information on the Novatech nTab II, i got the tab working on RileyROM 1.8, when flashing i left the Loader out and it seems to boot and work ok.

I fixed the Internal Storage by mounting it to the PC then formatting.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avoli0:
Hello guys,

I am new to the site,registered today, but always been a lurker from now and then.

Anyway after the mugging of my previous Note 4 about 3 months ago, i now have bought a new Note 4 again, They exynos model i believe SM-N910C (definitely wouldn't buy a note 5 or anything else, i'm just wowed by it) and this particular one, had android lollipop 5.1.1 already within the box. I did a software update, and it downloaded a 90mb update and installed.

The point of the thread is about Android device protection.

Does my Note 4 have it? I've read multiple places that most devices shipped with lollipop 5.1.1 will have it,

But when i locked my phone (using pin,pattern,fingerprint,passcode) and then after removing it, i did not receive that dialog which says "are you sure you want to remove the lock,device protection will be disabled".

So does the phone have it?

I appreciate your help guys.

hello,

I need to return the phone to retailer, but cannot get rid of the tux penguin, I need the old ZUK bootloader splash to return the phone. How can I do this? Would returning the phone to Stock COS 12.1 with a COS recovery do this?

cheers

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrColdbird:
Flash the emmc-appboot file from a COS fastboot package into the aboot partition, that should restore your previous Cyanogen screen.

You might have to also flash the sbl1 file into the same named partition when doing this.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EggZenBeanz:
Thank you - Would flashing the whole cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3OH-ham-signed-fastboot.zip file via TWRP achieve the same result or would I need to flash the files only you mention via TWRP be needed?
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet X:
This is what I did:

Download the fast signed image of COS 12.1 here http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/ham/...d-fastboot.zip

Unzip it

Open cmd or terminal

Go to the unzipped folder

Execute this step by step:

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash rpm rpm.mbn

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash dbi sdi.mbn

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash splash splash.img

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash tz tz.mbn

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash persist persist.img

This will restore your bootloader with logo to stock Cyanogen. It will remain unlocked.

Maybe I`ll get a respons in WM6 maybe everyone is here now !!! :)

Hello,

THis is probably posted some where, but I cant find it.

When I pair my GPS using bluetooth I only get an option of using port 6 or 7 and my program wants to use port 8 or 9 where in registry can I change so it will give me an option for any port that I want. Thank you.

[Sony Xperia T3] olli14:
I have bought a second-hand Sony Xperia T3 and I have great problems.

After restart the handy is working normal. But after about 7-10 minutes the sound doesn’t work anymore. I see the audio player working but I have no sound via loudspeaker nor via headset. Even when I get a call I hear no ringtone and the handy vibrates about one minute longer though the call has already ended. The camera app also doesn’t work correct. Only after a restart the handy works again correct for about 7-10 minutes.

So I downloaded the original Sony Firmware and flasehd the Handy two times. But I have still these problems.

Does anyone has any ideas?

Now I’m thinking about flashing the handy with a custom ROM.
[Sony Xperia T3] olli14:
Because of all my problems with this Handy I probably want to Flash a Lollipop custom ROM. But it seems no Lollipop ROM is working so far for daily use, right? Is there any other custom ROM I could test?
[Java for Android App Development] JonasCloudRail:
Hey guys,

I want to explain you how you can integrate different services like Facebook, Dropbox or Slack into your application.

Why is this important?

In the kind of ever evolving market place that we are now in, it is more important than ever that your application can rapidly add new features. You don't have to invent the wheel again, there are thousands of great software solutions out there. All you have to do is to leverage those software and integrate them into your application. By doing so you can provide your users a more pleasant user experience and make your application stand out from others.

What is the problem?

Integrating different services also means to deal with all the different APIs since all the services are using their own API which are very often complex and you will need a lot of time to become familiar with all of them. This means you lose time which you could spent on focusing on your core application.

How to solve this issue?

A very simple solution is to use the CloudRail SDK. CloudRail is a completely free developer tool which allows you to combine all the different APIs including all the features you want to only one universal java or android API in only a few steps. By making the process of adding any new integration quick, simple, and easy, you can start ignoring all of the busy work and get on with making simply great applications.

I would love it if you did check it out and let me know any feedback, good or bad!
[LG G Watch R] jbf_nano:
I got my Lg G watch R yesterday, and I used it during the whole day. At night, when I placed it in order to charge it, It appeared, that I could go from version 5.1.1 (LDZ22D) to 5.1.1 (LCA44B) so I left the Watch updating, in the Charging base, when I woke up the watch screen was off and I can turn it on, on the phone it says conected and the watch vibrates but the screen doesnt turn on, I have tried with a reset, pressing the button for 10-15 secs till it vibrates many times and nothin appears on my screen.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thank you

[LG G Watch R] connor5671:
I'm having a very similar problem apart from my screen is orange and pixelated. No idea if it is permently broke or what. I am waiting for a reply from LG customer support to see what they say. Once I get it I will update if there is a solution for us :)
[LG G Watch R] gioakjoe:
mine goes into periods of not being able to get my watch screen to turn on but still connects to my phone then when the screen finally turns on when it goes into power save mode it artifacts and looks orangish, I have to keep the "always on" on caz if the screen turns off i cant get it back on for hours.

sounds like the same as what yall are getting. I tried factory resetting a few times no luck after factory reset seems like a software problem since it works fine once the screen is on.

Hi,

I have a HTC One M8 running CyanogenMod 13 Nightly beta, unlocked bootloader, rooted. Recently my carrier (Optus, Australia) has released an ota update for 6.0 Marshamllow and Sense 7. I have two questions.

1. How do I switch from the Cyanogen recovery (which just appeared one time) back to TWRP?

2. How do I go back to the rom I have for my device to receive the ota update?

I would really appreciate some help, still new to all of this.

Thanks heaps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderjax:
My girlfriend uses Galaxy S2. She can't install any apps anymore because her memory was full. It seems that the 16gb is devided up in 2 parts of which 2gb is used for the system. the other 14gb are practically empty but the system part of the memory is full. Will installing a new rom and or kernel help this? And what ROM/kernel would you recommend.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Hi,

Installing a new rom should free up the space for apps since you will require a factory reset.

For recommendations, try Slimsaber 4.4.4 by Fusionjack with Apolo kernel (DorimanX may be a little too complex especially for new user). If you don't like it, CM12.1 (Lollipop) or NeatROM (Stock 4.1.2 based ROM) are also nice options too.

Alternatively, if you don't want to go through changing roms, you may find re-partitioning a better option using this guide:

SINCE TWRP 3 THIS POST IS USELESS

Hi !

In this thread, you can find vendor.img from factory images in flashable zip format.

The zip will flash your vendor partition unconditionally (write_raw_image).

Flash it at your own risks

This is my first thread, be gentle plz ;)

Thx to [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] (Pure Nexus ROM) and Google
[Nexus 5X General] Blueblob:
Update to MMB29Q vendor
[Nexus 5X General] gpvecchi:
Vendor from P and Q are the same in Nexus images...
[Nexus 5X General] Blueblob:
Not the same CRC (md5 or sha).

Can you explain plz ?
[Nexus 5X General] gpvecchi:
Sorry, my fault. I probably compared two times the same vendor.img. It's indeed different.
[Nexus 5X General] Blueblob:
We can do error, we are human.

Feedback is always a good thing.

I didn't compare img before your feedback, so next time I will do it, thx ?
[Nexus 5X General] ubcjack:
What's so special about vendor.img so that we'll want to flash just this file?
[Nexus 5X General] draggehn:
Some people (myself included) are too lazy to download the factory image and extract the vendor.img and then flash it in fastboot and find it easier to flash in recovery.
[Nexus 5X General] alwaysbelieve1:
Sorry for this question, but what does the vendor file do exactly?
[Nexus 5X General] aschere:
The vendor partition contains proprietary drivers and such, if I understand correctly.
[Nexus 5X General] Blueblob:
Drivers and binaries from manufacturer (not open source).

Before 5X and 6P, it was mandatory to build Android (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers)

Now it's a dedicated partition.
[Nexus 5X General] psycho_asylum:
When I booted the 2/4 nightly of CM13, I got the error about an "internal problem". Doing some searching, it said to flash the vendor.img that matched the build, which would be MMB29Q. When I flashed this zip, I still got the error. I pulled the vendor.img out of the stock image from google and flashed it with fastboot and now the error is gone. There is some sort of difference between this file and the google one.
[Nexus 5X General] Blueblob:
Thx. Gonna check

Edit : Same CRC for vendor.img in my zip and zip from Google

Strange, maybe cache or something like that
[Nexus 5X General] Blueblob:
Experienced same thing...

Looking for why

Haha ok, vendor partition needs to be mounted

You can do it in twrp

I'll will update files later
[Nexus 5X General] oo0:
today's cm shows MMB29U in build.prop thus showing internal error message with Q

[Nexus 5X General] Blueblob:
https://twrp.me/site/update/2016/02/05/twrp-3.0.0-0-released.html

No need to make a flashable zip anyway. We will able to flash vendor.img in twrp.
[Nexus 5X General] Wooaarr:
Is there any way to check which vendor image is installed?

Edit 1: Nevermind, found it under vendor/build.prop

Thanks for this, saves me from downloading a whole img.

Edit 2: Doesn't seem to work, even when I mount the vendor partition in twrp it doesn't seem to properly flash it. Any advice?
[Nexus 5X General] Blueblob:
I gonna ask a mod to close my thread

I will find another way to contribute to community with my skills ?
[Nexus 5X General] Wooaarr:
Keep it going! I got it to work by extracting the .img from the zip and then just flashing that in twrp.

You still saved me a ton of megabyte to download, which is a pain at the place I'm staying at the moment.

I for one really appreciate what you have done.
[Nexus 5X General] queerquirks:
So we just need to flash the vendor img for same version updates?
[Nexus 5X General] Paragon_X:
When you flashed did it erase your data?
[Nexus 5X General] Wooaarr:
No it did not.
[Nexus 5X General] ovu85:
ho can in check if my vendor image is as new as the rom?

Do i need to flash the vendor every time i flash a rom?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
Look at /vendor/build.prop to see which vendor you are using. Ordinarily, update the vendor partition once a month. Right now, for 7.0, it's NRD90S. When your rom developer tells you their rom is updated to the next OTA, that's when you flash the vendor and updated custom rom.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EasyWorld:
When my N910F had Android 4.4.4, I could easily enable both reactivation lock and remote control, even though the phone was rooted and had a customary recovery installed (TWRP). Now with Android 5.1.1 I can only enable those options if the phone is NOT rooted. As soon as I root the device, I'm unable to activate either of the options (I check the checkbox and then it immediately unchecks itself). Is there any way around this issue?
