fav thing in lollipop

going through recents

:homerdrool:

[stonehenge]

whoa so they aren't half-assed. thats cool, I like where Moto has gone recently

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

holy hell this CM12 is smooth... the animations, keyboard, etc are so fluid. Seems faster than my N7 for some reason. Maybe I just haven't used the N7 enough.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

oops, must flash SuperSU :pow:

[stonehenge]

I expected lots of bugginess but so far everything is smooth, no FCs, everything I've tried (handful of apps, calls, SMS, music) has worked. I had ONE reboot while I was restoring apps with Titanium. After the reboot I restored them no problem.

Battery life seems awesome too. We'll see today.

there is a cm12 build up for the nexus 7. flash? or not flash? :chin:

[stonehenge]

not yet, since the N7 has 5.0 already, there's no point to flashing CM12. It's pretty close to AOSP at this point. Once they add some more goodies it will be worth it.

Unless you're bored, it won't hurt anything :happeh:

[chevyrado14]

yea ill wait ive seen that there is a battery drain bug in some builds. for now my batt is very good. been off charger since this morning and is still at 100% its just been sitting here but still thats good stand by time.

[stonehenge]

I haven't been using mine enough to notice if batt life is good or bad. Need to use it more.

Still loving CM12 on my G2. I've had maybe 3 random reboots total in 3 days and the only FC I have is if I go into Settings > Cell Networks > Carrier Settings and I don't even need to use that, I was just looking around.

SMS, MMS, Camera, LTE, GPS, DT2W, etc all seem to work great. I haven't tried NFC or Bluetooth yet.

Battery life is pretty damned good too.

Sand and some rocks can still pit it but keys, your nails, etc won't do much to it.

Its about the same size as a Note 2, but more screen, less bezel, and thinner.

I think.

[shootermcgavin003]

tis not no bigger than s5 actually but has much larger screen if that makes since. note 2 was huge compared to it. it might have been the orignal note she had its been a while. prob was note 1 its .3 inches wider thats quite a bit and bit thicker. was not as tall as note 4.

Been trying to update my GNote2 the past couple days and no luck. Still running Build 22 of Jelly Beans on 4.1.2 and been trying to update to 4.4.2. The new baseband/modem/etc wont flash right in ODIN (due to PIT file issues) so still running my 4.1.2 build.

Guess I will stick with 4.1.2 until I can find a good deal on a GNote4 to update devices.

[stonehenge]

1. Wtf, if you have the right files and version of Odin, it should flash no problem.

2. Why not a Note 3? Might find one cheap since its "outdated" and its a great phone. Just an idea.

Is it possible without root to make an app make noise whether the phone is on vibrate or silent? My friend is looking for a new phone and wants this feature he said his blackberry way back used to do it.

Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

[theholycow]

There are plenty of ways to override silent mode for calls from specified contacts but I'm not sure if I've seen a way to do it for a specific app.

[stonehenge]

I know that the lookout antivirus/security app has a feature where you can go to the website and tell it to sound an alarm and it will do it regardless of silent/vibrate. So its possible, but idk if its available.

Lollipop has priority notifications where he can put his important apps in the priority category so they can get through silent/vibrate.

[Cez★]

i think my phone is broken or something. i cant make calls, or at least i cant listen to anyhting through the speaker or the headpiece itself. its just silence when i see the time being recorded on how long i talk. and when i listen to snapshats dem shits are silent too and i know they has sound. app volume be high so idk wtf happened

[stonehenge]

Hmm so earpiece AND speaker are silent? :think:

Are you on a ROM or stock?

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

Give this a try:

Just had a similar problem on two Nexus 4's after Lollipop OTA upgrade.

My solution: Take out your SIM card then re-insert and re-start your phone.

Next. Go To: Settings/More/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names (APNs) top right three dots/ Click: Reset to Default.

That seems to have fixed the issue on both Nexus 4's, one using O2 the other using Vodaphone.

His son has been using it since he got a new phone years ago. Poor thing refuses to boot up now (stuck at the red M) and it has a few weird dead spots in the LCD. Factory reset and cache clearing hasn't helped, I'm going to try and find an SBF file for it and flash it to see if that helps. If not, then it may be the end for this glorious bastard.

I remember when I got this phone, I thought it was huge and bordering on ridiculously sized. It isn't as big as my G2, let alone the Note 3 :jester: I also remember how thin it felt, now it feels thick.

I had a Droid X...tis was my first Android after getting away from my Blackberry Tour.

Welp, I sold my GNote 2 (and extras) for $180 yesterday. Using the ol' backup Galaxy Nexus. Updated it to Slimkat (4.4 custom ROM), while I figure out what device I want next. Anyone have any suggestions on low-resource launchers for the device?

In the running, I think the GNote 4 and S5 are in the running but debating on waiting. Any opinions, as I have been out of the game for quite sometime...

[stonehenge]

Check out LG imo, I love my G2 and people like their N4s and N5s

[race2c]

How is the dev support on the LGs?

[stonehenge]

I had AOSP lollipop before any of their phones got it stock. G3 is starting to get official lollipop and my G2 should get it soon since one version already leaked.

There are also ports of stock G3 ROMs that run great on my G2.

I've been pretty happy with the available ROMs.

[stonehenge]

Forgot to mention, MB Co has a G3 and loved it last time I heard. He had lollipop on it a little while after it was released.

Check the subreddit for whatever phones you're looking into and post on them with any questions you have.

decided to clean out my "sdcard" (internal storage)

found that Titanium had backed up to two different locations at some point or another, removed the older one. Then found an empty folder called "storage". Deleted that. Checked available space... 18gb

:suspicious:

investigate and allthethings were deleted... I guess that "empty" storage folder somehow deleted everything... luckily G+ backed up all my pics. Nothing else really matters, I just have to copy music all over again.

It had to have been some kind of symlink loop or something. I deleted a folder ON the sdcard and it deleted the whole thing. :jester:

I just flashed a stock (4.4.2) based ROM. I already kinda miss Lollipop but LG knows how to make a smooth ROM. DFW stock 5.0.2

[race2c]

Hmm...

I am thinking about just buying a VZW CPO device be it, Note 4, S5 or an LG G2/G3.

Juan - how hard was it to root and rom the LG? I am still using a non-dual booted macbook pro so that is definitely a consideration for all the devices.

[stonehenge]

I honestly can't remember which process I went through but it looks like the latest way to root can be done on any OS:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869

And to get recovery after you're rooted, the easiest way is to use AutoRec:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496

After that, flash whatever you want from recovery like usual.

According to those links, they support the VZW model of the G2.

Note3 was super easy to root also, but I think the VZW model is a lot tougher.

You really can't go wrong with any of the phones you listed. You can always post "If I buy a VZW [phone name] tomorrow, how easy is it to root and flash a recovery?" on the appropriate subreddit if the XDA threads are hard to follow.

[race2c]

Thanks Juan!!!

[stonehenge]

Hope it helps. MB Coe has a G3 on Sprint if you want to PM him

[M.B Co]

Stumproot is the easiest IMO. DL the apk, install, boom rooted. Uninstall app then install recovery of choice.

I'm running Illusion 5.0.2, newest twrp.

Illusion for me runs the best.

[stonehenge]

I flashed the newest TWRP a few days ago, I'm about to flash 5.0.2 again. Stock LG is nice but L is better.

I'm going to try Validus, some peeps on the g2 subreddit are saying it's the best and has allthethings built into it while still being stable. We'll see

:suspicious:

[M.B Co]

18 hours on battery = 62% remaining

Standby time is flippin awesome on illusion with kernel fire

[race2c]

Juan - Sent you an SMS...hope its the right number. :lol:

MB Co - you enjoy your G3? How much a difference would you see between your Sprint device and VZW device?

Really contemplating the G3 after seeing price compared to others and how easy it is for root compared to the S5/Note4's lack of root.

[stonehenge]

I replied but didn't get a response. G2 has non removeable battery and no SD slot. G3 is the same I believe.

[M.B Co]

I love my G3. Hardware wise its a great device. Should be 2015 proof...compared to other flagships.

Sprint version has removable battery, SD card

Diff. Between vzw and sprint may not be much difference. I'm far from stock so hard to compare. The day root was out I rooted. The day twrp was out I was running aosp

Development is big. Getting bigger everyday.

Root, recovery and plenty of AOSP Lollipop romz and stock LG ROMs avail.

AOSP Lollipop runs great on the G3. Only downfall is the camera....sucks. Potatoe quality

[stonehenge]

G2 is the same and AOSP Lollipop should improve as soon as LG pushes out dat stock 5.0

difference?>

[chevyrado14]

2012 was a pos low memory crappy screen etc. the 2013 is much better.

[stonehenge]

2012 was okay in the beginning but they used shit memory so after a year or sometimes less, the I/O performance goes to shit.

Plus, the 2013 model is faster, higher resolution, etc.

So get the skinny black one, not the wider silver rimmed one.

Mmm now if LG would push out the official L update, that'd be nice.

So far there is AOSP (which is pretty nice) or a port of a leaked (and semi-buggy) pre-release version from the Korean model lol

[stonehenge]

Some nice free icon packs here: http://www.reddit.com/r/androidthemes/comments/2vyrbx/_/

[M.B Co]

Tried the rooted ZV8 L and couldn't get data even after prl update or activating. Pretty odd....

Still played around with it and its nice. But being on aosp L there is no way I can run a stock ROM. My current setup and 560 DPI is perfection IMO.

And wtf google app wakelocks. Just the past day I've been getting horrible wakelocks on just about every app. Never had this issue before.

Ugh

[stonehenge]

I'm running BlissPop and it's been great. Best L ROM I've tried so far.

[M.B Co]

Tried that at one time and ran well. Moved to illusion and haven't changed.

[stonehenge]

no Illusion for le G2 :emo: but I've been loving BlissPop so far.

[M.B Co]

Bummer.

It has kernel fire. Tons of kernel tweaks

[stonehenge]

meh, I haven't played with kernel settings in years. I flash ROMs so often that I'd have to set them up every time and sometimes I'd forget to do it and usually didn't even notice much of a difference. Plus I'm lazy.

I bet if I tweaked them I'd get better life, a cooler running phone, etc but

:sweetbrown:

[Cez★]

so lately when i get messages broken up into 2. i can only see the 2nd part of the message :wtf:

[stonehenge]

dafuk, tell those bishes to send shorter messages :crossarms:

idk, I haven't received a 2 part one in a long time

[Cez★]

lawl. i assume theres no option to get a long paragraph?

[stonehenge]

Are you running lollipop? Stock or ROM?

[Cez★]

is stock iirc

[stonehenge]

Damn I usually don't flash kernels or tweak them. Did it yesterday and got 8 hrs of screen time today (was home/bored today lol)

[stonehenge]

5.1 images are coming out for Nexus devices

No 2013 N7 yet. :emo:

Also, I don't think the sources are available yet so no ROMs for a while.

[chevyrado14]

yea i was hoping to flash it this morning on my 7. came to work and nothing.

[stonehenge]

OIC, just saw links saying 4.4 and 06/14 so thought you were linking to old stuff. Just clicked them and see lollipop.

Either one should work. You can always flash the other one if you don't like the first one too.

Damn, I think the G2s screen is sexy. The G4s is two generations newer. Dfw

So far my next phone is waffling between Nexus6 and S6. Leaning towards S6.

Once the G4, next Note, and LGs Note competitor (rumor at this point) come out, we'll see. I have a while before I'll ditch the G2.

Use gmail and add exchange?

I've tried that and it didn't work. Its the way my employer sets up the link to view owa. Its weird.

They have a fairly high level security it dept. For not so high level data.

[theholycow]

Not gmail, just the regular native Android "mail" app. Works great with my Exchangen 2010 and offers the necessary features to comply with security that Exchange is capable of enforcing.

[stonehenge]

Either use Email like Rick said or the GMail app should work now that it supports Exchange.

I'm using the GMail app and we have decent security here. Maybe you just need the correct server address or they're using a different port. The address of the exchange server isn't necessarily the same as the address you use to access OWA in a browser. Go ask on of your IT peeps.

Our it sucks. They told me to use an iPhone instead and to use their own app and pay $115 up front and $15 yearly.

[stonehenge]

WHAT

:fp:

I'm sure there's a way to find out the address. Hmm

[theholycow]

:ohshit:

Do you use Outlook (not Outlook Web Access) on a desktop at all? You might be able to find the server address in its account settings or connection status dialog.

[stonehenge]

:word:

This says you can find the server address from OWA: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/outlook-access-server-address-44964.html

Ya, wrote down any and all info I can and tried different variations for the server with no luck.

[stonehenge]

Hmm your IT can probably give you the right info, too bad they're dicks

I just checked this. As expected, CAS was an internal-only name. It did provide correct host name and host address; they match the OWA URL, which should be the address to use in Android account settings anyway.

So they really only support a special app? Might not have Outlook Anywhere enabled. Do try asking aboot Outlook desktop app settings at home, which will confirm Outlook Anywhere and the address you need.

[stonehenge]

or tell them you want to setup Thunderbird or something at home and you need the address/port/etc and then use it for your phone.

[Cez★]

Tried installing new kernel but when I try booting into recovery it said invalid command or something. Dafuk

[stonehenge]

Wat, try updating recovery. You using TWRP?

[Cez★]

no idea :roflshrug:

[stonehenge]

LOL well first of all, your phone is unlocked right? You've flashed ROMs on it in the past?

[Cez★]

yeah

[stonehenge]

When you go into recovery to flash the kernel, what do you see? Is it big grey buttons and says TeamWin when its starting?

[chevyrado14]

does it look like any of these?

[Cez★]

nyet. it has a droid bot thingy open and then i choose from restart, shut off, reset bootloader, and load recovery. yeah, just 4 options

[chevyrado14]

this?

http://falstaff.agner.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/android-galaxy-nexus-fastboot.jpg

thats the bootloader screen where you would use fastboot to flash things on the phone. select recovery and what happens?

[Cez★]

thats it. when i try it says no command.





wait up, is this the one i have to input comands from laptop wihle phone connected? :hmm:

[chevyrado14]

yea on the bootloader you use the computer to send commands with fastboot. you would use that to flash a new recovery. you use recovery to flash roms and kernels in .zip form.

[Cez★]

fak. such complicate. any easier way now to do that?

[chevyrado14]

twrp has an app that will automatically flash the recovery if your bootloader is unlocked then all you have to do is reboot to revoery and flash zips

[Cez★]

brb downloading

[stonehenge]

Cez, when you use volume buttons to select Recovery and then hit power, what do you see at that point?

[Cez★]

it goes to the google loading promt then says no command

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

i then have to turn off phone

[stonehenge]

Wtf

[chevyrado14]

guess id need to update to a lolipop one?

[stonehenge]

Yeah, that's stock. Do you see the unlock icon on your Google boot screen?

[Cez★]

yea

[stonehenge]

OK so you're unlocked but stock recovery. You need to flash TWRP and then you can flash ROMs/kernels.

[chevyrado14]

yea use that twrp app to flash twrp recovery and you should be gold

[Cez★]

Will do :shake:

Talked to an IT guy that was at my office. They have anything related to gmail blocked minus a select few with google docs for business.

He even has to do the crappy app work around. Their servers and internet are on lock down.

[theholycow]

Forget "gmail". That's the gmail app for accesing gmail service. It's not going to work, I'm the Exchange admin/general network admin here and I control the policies and I doubt it would work for me. http://apps.systena.co.jp/googleapps/img/appsicon_gmail.png

Do you not have the native Android "email" app? That's the app for accessing generic email services like POP3, IMAP, Exchange, etc. http://www.chip.de/ii/2/2/1/5/4/8/1/2/fa43369378312cc1.jpg

Another angle would be to forget apps entirely. Go to system settings, Accounts & Sync, Add account. Once the account is added, when mail comes in you'll get notifications and can get into it that way.

[stonehenge]

cao, up until last year sometime that would have been true, but in the newer versions of Gmail and Google Services, Exchange has been integrated. It works just like the Email app as long as you choose "Exchange" when setting it up.

I use the GMail app so that all my accounts are in one place and behave the same. I'd get annoyed because Email/Gmail would have different reply/forward behavior and whatnot.

Also, not sure what the IT guy meant. There is no "blocking Google stuff". Email/Gmail apps on the phone behave just like Thunderbird and any other email client. They should all work.

Overall though, fuck your email IT guys. It's shitty to make you use a specific app.

[theholycow]

OIC.

Fuck everything.

How hard it be to add new icons?

[chevyrado14]

not hard at all. if you use a 3rd party launcher you install the icon app and then select the icon theme in the launcher settings

[Cez★]

Ohhh. like nova and shit?

[stonehenge]

yep, just install Nova, set it as default, install an icon pack you like, then go into settings > look & feel > icon theme and choose the icon pack.

you can also change individual icons on your homescreens by longpressing and choosing Edit, then tap the icon to change it.

[chevyrado14]

yep easy peasy

[Cez★]

Shittt. Has lots of modding to do when I get home

[MikeH]

I havent even went and looked at a S6 yet. Love my N6 and dont plan on switching anytime soon.

[Cez★]

What is best launcher for my n4 anyway? Lol

[chevyrado14]

ive always liked nova prime.

[MikeH]

Im using Apex, but only started because nova took forever for material design
