[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
Hello again lollyjay. Couple of questions: so I just drop your backup into the twrp backup directory then resore through twrp? Second question. Will I be able to restore my twrp backups after installing pheonix?

Many thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
On my flo, TWRP does not overwrite its own backup folder. So I go back and forth between them. So just make a full backup in TWRP, reboot, place unzipped backup in the same folder as your other backup, reboot to TWRP and restore the unzipped backup that you placed there.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
OK. That's what I thought, just making sure...

Thanks for the reply...?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
I'm enjoying having true multitasking. I'm surprised that this old device can easily handle multiple open windows :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] TyrellCorporation:
Im dreaming about add it a keyboard+mouse+cast big tv screen and play doom 3 on it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
I use a Bluetooth keyboard for terminal commands. For the rest good luck :D

BTW I am typing this while watching a YouTube video on the left half.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] TyrellCorporation:
I have keyboard too, doom 3 running ok on phoenix , but i have no big tv :_). One question: Its posible to plug usb keyboard and mouse on usb hub both at same time?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
I haven't tried it. I do know that you can buy y cables
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
Yeah, its a great device. A while back I was looking to upgrade from flo, but couldn't find a replacement that was substantially better...

Cheers.

Edit: I installed Phoenix and it's running great. Had a couple of play store issues but everything else is fine...

Thanks again...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
I'm glad it's working for you. I'm hoping the new Nexus 7 2016 is worth the wait
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] nickd03:
Thanks for the backup, works great. :) I love Phoenix OS so far, even with the few bugs.

Hi lollijay. In the apps settings I can see Titanium backup and solid explorer but can't launch them. Do I need to install 3rd party launcher?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
You will have to uninstall and reinstall from Play Store
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
Has anyone managed to install Nova launcher on this ROM?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
Yes... sort of. Check out this thread most recent exchange http://xdaforums.com/nexus-7-2013/nexus-7-2013-qa/phoenix-os-t3309049

Even when I put Action Launcher 3 in /system/app, it still is a normal app, how do I make it a real launcher for the desktop?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
I haven't found a way yet. I use Nova Launcher and have it pinned to the taskbar to use as a "home" button.

Do you mean the delete\install google account method?

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
Sorry wrong link.

Here is what [MENTION=4282532]shadie21[/MENTION] pointed out:

1 download the latest version of Nova launcher from apkmirror etc

2 rename the apk to NovaLauncher.apk

3 navigate to system/app and create folder NovaLauncher

4 copy NovaLauncher.apk to the new folder

5 set NovaLauncher.apk permissions to rw/r/r

6 reboot

7 go to settings/apps and give NovaLauncher full permissions

You can open it and pin it to the bottom bar to make it a pseudolauncher

I used Solid Explorer to do the renaming, copying and setting rw/r/r permissions via properties/attributes
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
Nova launcher now working...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] nickd03:
I tried to install tasker from the play store, and it won't work, but I can't download the apk since its a paid app. Does anyone have any ideas?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
settings/accounts delete your Google account

Then reenter it and Play Store will work

You will have to go through this every so often it's an unfortunate byproduct of "forking" the PhoenixOS :rolleyes:

Brilliant rom! I'm using it as my daily driver and I like the native launcher (it's a nice change from the usual).

The rom is smooth and runs perfectly. And the ability to use, move and resize windows so effortlessly is fabulous.

Thanks for bringing this to us.

Hi there, I'm getting a Google Play error when trying to install any app error code [DF-DLA-15], can anybody help with this please?

TIA
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] strofo:
I had same problem. Wiping data to Play Store and Play services helps. Then i have to enable all permissions to play service, otherwise I received force close error.

Hi,

Please support my request for creating a separate XDA forum for Phoenix OS here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68137715&postcount=20928 and/or write your own request. Please also forward this message to other Phoenix OS users you know - maybe they will support the idea too.

Phoenix deserves an independent forum - let's make it happen.

Thank you for your help,

Karol
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
Yes it's an unwanted "feature" of forking around with the OS. For now we'll have to live with it until the Phoenix devs make the Play Store native.

After deleting your Google account and re-enter it you can use the Play Store again.

Edit: I think all you need to do is:

1 clear data for Google Play Services

2 turn on all permissions for Google Play Services
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Okaham:
hmm, still doesn't seem to work. I guess for now I'll just have to sideload my apps
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
That's odd I have 2 Nexus 7s and the clear data and reset permissions for Google Play Services works every time
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
Here is a clarified method to get the Play Store working again:

You will periodically get failure of the Play Store; you can fix it by going to

settings/apps/Google Play Services/storage/Manage space/clear all data.

Then go back to

settings/apps/Google Play Services/permissions

and turn on all permissions

Great ROM I've installed it as a backup and had 5mins playing around then wiped it to start a fresh got play store working but don't have root how do i root this brilliant ROM?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
Hmm it should include SuperSU in my version in OP.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] toonarmy4life:
When I reset ur backup ROM I installed super su off play store it said I didn't have root.

Quick question how do I change DPI ???

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
I think you need to use the new download in the OP.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
Flashing the latest su .zip from twrp should do the trick.

You can set the DPI using any buildprop editor. Just scroll down to DPI entry, then change it manually (320 is default).

Good luck.

Not a good start for the magpies BTW....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
SuperSU is already installed on my download in the OP. If you follow the instructions then you will have rooted with SuperSU
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
Yeah, mine works fine. I find if I get into su difficulties, re-flashing su usually sorts it out. Just a suggestion...

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
Yes I think that [MENTION=4845085]toonarmy4life[/MENTION] may have installed the one from the PhoenixOS website.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
Yeah, I think you are right...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
Actually, I think that's what I did when I first tried to flash POS....?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
OK would you be willing to try following the instructions in the OP? I would appreciate feedback on how it goes. I will be happy to make any changes that you feel would make it easier to follow.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] toonarmy4life:
I installed from first page and I put it in twrp backup then restored the backup and loved the ROM so much I factory wiped ur backup to start a fresh but it seemed like root wasn't working when I installed super su from play store it said I never had root anyway I restored ur backup again n kept it like that which root works but has faults as I have to go into super su every time I use a rooted app as the window never pops up requesting root access and another fault is play services its a pain but works over all my fav ROM thanks.

Also theres some chinese writing after factory reset too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
Ahhh I see. Yes I open SuperSU b4 I open a new app that will request root. I'll put that in the OP. Thanks.

Edit: I upgraded to SuperSU Pro and now I don't have to open SuperSU first now. I did set it in Settings/AutoRun also
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
Here are my AutoRun settings
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
I think we maybe at cross purposes here...I don't have any issues with POS (apart from the documented issues).

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lollyjay:
Hey that's good news. I didn't mean to imply that pos wasn't working for you. I was only asking for a favor to see if my download works for someone else.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DaTrueDave:
The group that I work with spends a lot of time on conference calls together, and lots of time sending group text messages to each other. We often need to be researching something on our phone at the same time.

We have one guy on Verizon and he won't get any texts until he hangs up his iPhone.

We have another guy on Sprint that will get individual texts during a phone call, but not group texts or picture texts on his iPhone.

I'm on AT&T with an HTC M8 and I'm able to do all three at the same time. So is another AT&T iPhone and a Galaxy S6 in the group.

I think this is a network issue, but I'm not sure.

Can anyone on AT&T confirm that this phone is able to send/receive group text messages while simultaneously using voice and data?

Thanks!

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
The APN you're using most likely does not have Ecomobile's MMS server address. Get Ecomobile's APN info and create a new APN with that info.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
i'm not with AT&T (i'm with TMO) but yes the ZTE Axon 7 (of course you are here for a reason) DOES SUPPORT VOICE / DATA at the same time, i do it all the time...searching something on the internet while talking on phone and even sending MMS while talking over the phone....

P.S. i use headphones so is easy to Talk while doing something else specially those long waiting times grrrr hate those calls LoL :p:eek:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DaTrueDave:
Voice and data at the same time is very different from voice and MMS at the same time. Verizon can do voice/data, but not voice/MMS. Thanks for confirming.

but yeah some carriers accept some things and others not....so is cool Tmo service allowing all those 3 at the same time if anyone needs it.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jagr21:
I mistakenly deleted the stock Kindle reading app in the Amazon Fire. Now no other version works. I tried installing from the Play Store, but it closes immediately after opening. I tried also with older versions and the result is the same. Only thing left is to try to reinstall the stock version, to see if it works again. Can someone please upload the .apk? I'd appreciate it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greatestofdanes:
I want to have a rooted stock Android Nexus 5X with stock recovery. I also want to keep my boot loader locked. But I've read that automatic OTA updates don't work on a rooted phone. Then I found out about FlashFire.

But I also read that FlashFire doesn't allow flashing of the radio and boot loader. Chainfire himself said "FlashFire can flash both bootloaders and modems on most Nexus devices. However, I would only flash the modem and not the bootloaders, to be on the safe side. Or, use the full size OTAs available from Google rather than the Fastboot package, and circumvent the issue (those flash both bootloader and modem if necessary, with less risk when doing the bootloaders)."

So I've got 2 questions:

1. Is it possible to flash everything, including the radio and boot loader on the 5X?

2. If the boot loader is flashable, what are the potential drawbacks of flashing it with Flashfire instead of fastboot?

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] smrdelj:
Hello to everybody, thanks for reading.

I will start with facts: on one hand, i have my desktop pc connected via hdmi to my tv, whose analog audio output is connected to my speakers. On the other hand, i also have a Chromecast 2 connected to the tv.

So in both cases, audio output is the same, BUT sounds different (and here's the issue).

For example, when i play anything (netflix, Spotify) through my computer, sound is fine, perfect. But when i do it via Chromecast through my android phone apps, sound is definitely worse: louder and a little bit distorted, like noisier.

I guess that the difference should be on Chromecast or phone audio driver (apparently working worse than pc drivers). But i don't even know if phone's audio is relevant here or not.

What do you think? What can i do? Thanks!
[Google Chromecast] Acid0057:
Do you have any other HDMI only devices to check the audio? Maybe there is something wrong in the TV with incoming audio on HDMI.
[Google Chromecast] smrdelj:
No, but i tried playing and sending Spotify to Chromecast through another phone, and i detected that sounded different than mine. So each phone's audio driver definitely made the difference by equalizing in different way. So I'm closer to conclude that problem may rely on my phones audio eq
[Google Chromecast] Acid0057:
That's so weird because from what I understand the chromecast works by receiving a stream URL and fetching the content itself. Your phones audio eq shouldn't matter.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Check the Apps to make sure they don't have any Audio Boosting features enabled.

Also try lowering the volume on the Apps to see if you can match the sound from the computer.

The Loudness and Distortion sounds to me like you are overdriving the HDMI input past what it should be.

Setting the volume lower should solve that and get rid of the distortion.
[Google Chromecast] dabombcra:
I have no issues with the chrome cast. I would check the connection on the TV or it maybe the chrome cast
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Results will vary from device to device, TV to TV, App to App....Even from content to content.

Reasons why it can happen include:

Encoder/Transcoder used to create the content or stream boosted audio or failed to set levels to normalize it.

App (used to send the stream) has allowed volume control to boost low audio which would mean full volume on that App is much higher than +4 dBu expected by a digital device. This is done by App devs more for playback on speakers but that extra boost can distort the digital being sent to the CCast. Volume levels out of range will distort as the DSP doesn't know what to do with it. Remember the Device that launched the stream uses it's volume control to tell the CCast what level audio to send to the TV.

It can even be a simple matter of a dirty HDMI connection or bad handshake between the CCast and TV.

Both the CCast and the TV expect what we call a NOMINAL Level or (+4, -10 dBu depending on the TV model). This Level is supposed to allow enough headroom for louder sections to not distort while maintaining a decent range of quiet to loud.

If you go past this you are essentially cutting out whatever headroom exists and at some point everything gets distorted.

The solution is to lower the volume on the input (in this case the App sending the stream) and if needed raise it on the output (in this case the TV).

It may be counter to how Google expected and wanted the CCast system to work but it really is better (albeit less convenient) to control the volume on the TV as opposed to the App. Setting the App to full volume can easily lead to distortion.
