Wifi Direct for Nexus S???? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am wondering why I simply cannot find any way to install Wifi Direct onto my Nexus S. When ICS came out tons of articles like
androidauthority,com/nexus-s-how-to-enable-face-unlock-44254
< this one popped up all around Google. (I can't post links yet so please change the ,com into a period) Is there any way to get Wifi Direct on the Nexus S too? I think it's a really underrated phone. I have heard that changing roms may help but i have heard about all these issues with roms and missing features so i would prefer to stay stock.

http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-s-how-to-enable-face-unlock-44254/ is an example of what im talking about. Is there anything like this but with wifi direct instead of face unlock?

I was hoping i dont have to flash any roms but i guess so. Does this rom have any kinds of missing features or issues?

[Q] Would it be possible to port...

Would it be possible to port a i9300 rom such as the 4.2.1 paranoid android rom from this link to the i535? im not asking anyone to do it. i just want to know if it is possible since they are very similar close to exact phones just different cpus. not sure if that has a relationship with it

It's probably possible to port, but would most likely require lots of work. The fact that the I535 and the international model i9300 are based on very different hardware chipsets actually makes these phone very different from each other, from a development perspective.
JUST SO THAT THIS IS CLEAR TO ANYBODY WHO READS THIS THREAD. DO NOT FLASH THE INTERNATIONAL ROM LINKED IN THIS THREAD TO YOUR I535.

Ever since a few days ago I keep getting this message whenever I reload Google
Now saying that theres as sign in error. And I also noticed that anytime
I would try to log into a game with Google play games, it would
give a no connection error. I u rooted my phone and flashed stock and the
re rooted but the problem came back after a few days. Then I flashed cm12
and just like before the problem came back after a few days. I also tried deleting
the host file whichakes it work for a few minutes but then it goes back to the
to the same state. If anyone could help, I'd be very thankful.

This is for hangouts and chrome and things but the only problem I have is with play games and google now. Any chance you'd know what to do with that? ?

I'm sorry but I can't find anything else regarding your problem on XDA. Have you tried contacting Google regarding your issue. Click on the help when you get that pop up.
I actually kind of solved it. All you have to do is download hosts editor(you need root) and when you open it all you have to do is add the things found in here. Don't add the things that are already there.

I'm glad you got it resolved! I'll close this thread now.

Anyone else get this update? I'm on sprint. Also, I haven't installed it yet, I presume I need to flash the stock recovery if I choose to take the update

Mmmmh htc did not plan to update the A9 now so maybe it's an update late of MM. But still sense 7.0

The only thing I've noticed is that that amoled saturation controls have been brought back
same here, i'm on sprint. is it ok to flash being deodex?
Not sure. I haven't got too deep into flashing on this phone, as there's not a heck of a lot to flash. Typically no, you would need to be stock odex and stock recovery to take an ota
Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk
me too , i have this update 2 days ago , only changes i noticed :
* my hand free stopped working with my htc a9 and now its back again
*have new app called ""HTC VIP" , but its not working in my country
@k2buckley yeah, what a shame :/ i guess i'll have to wait and see what's new with this ota. it was a pain in the arse to get all things done yet i have some issues.
I'm getting that annoying notification about the system update. I'm just rooted with twrp. What would be the best way to update?

Have a look in Post TWRP Recovery #2
chapter 8,9 and 10.
NB: Download and save the ota in your sd card (you'll find it in /data/data/com.htc.updater). You could share it for XDA members...
Cheers
was about to ask the question where i could find it, thanks kho
any feedback abt this ota?
Only thing I've noticed is we have an option for the fingerprint scanner to wake the screen and use it as a home button.
it was already there. i think it's just some improvements and bug fixes.

Good Debloater and Volume Hack?

I just rooted my phone using the Freeza method (Thumbs up). The rom unfortunately comes with 2 gazillion apps on it.
Does anyone know a good mod or program or zip to get many of them off? It is a lot of clutter. Also, anyone know of any volume hack zips or mods or Wanam Kit for Marsmallow?

You know, when I googled those last 2 things; "music mods XDA" and "wanam Xposed XDA".. there was like a gazillion results (well actually 200k+ and 19k+ but there probably isn't actually a gazillion apps on the rooted firmware either lol)

I still get so excited on a new OS release, although I've read my most important metric of a good OS, battery life, is worse on Nougat.
Performance mode defaults to FHD screen resolution on my update.
How soon can we get the full ROM so that we can install our devices that are rooted?
Now the million dollar question, can it be rooted

Lol a little to late there. I'm upgrading to the 8+
It's this an OTA? All I can find is QB1 on any of the pages. I don't want to restore with Odin just to find out its not avaliable OTA yet.

APN Still grayed out. But the upgrade did keep my previous edit..
Thanks!
Installed and everything looks good. Phone runs little bit faster and keyboard easier to use. I can edit APN and also have hotspot feature, I guess I used idonapps unlocked my phone. One problem is that there's a badge icon on the settings icon shows "1". The settings menu is totally different now and I don't know what to do to get rid of that badge icon. I thought it was from the updates but I went there and found nothing.
