Touch Control - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any word/confirmation that TC will be available for the N5?
I would assume so, couldn't imagine using the N5 and shortly the 5 without it unless I missed some sort of built in touch control into 4.4.

Ask the developer that does Touch Control, none of us has the answer but himself.

Ah I thought maybe he posted here, I emailed him.
Seeing as how he made it available for the Nexus 7 2013 I'm sure he will for the N5, just wanting to make sure.

Did you hear back from the developer?

I ask him:
I have a question. you will also develop the touch control app for the nexus 5?
He answered:
I will try when I get my N5.

Yes he said it's a hack so it may not work on the N5 but he will try. He doesn't have the phone yet and he said it will be at least a month if it works.

You need to get a kernel that support it, like faux kernel (I haven't checked to see if the feature is implemented yet), then you can use TricksterMod or 'S2W Switch Free' to enable it.

i hope i understand you right. With faux kernel and the app "s2w" or "trickster" i can use the feature sweep2wake?
I have loading the two apps but i can not see the options in the app to get the feature.

I have seen people saying faux will support it soon, but I haven't seen any source for that anywhere.

Request: Wii Controller

I'd really appreciate it if someone on here can figure out a way to get the Wii Controller app running on the EVO with or without going around whatever the problem is with Sense UI. I'm using a stock rooted EVO running the latest rooted updates.
That would be awesome!

Just posted under the other thread, this one being the original I thought the information would be better here. I most recently tested "Wiimote Controller" (free version) on Avalaunch's Deodexed 2.2 ROM, and keep coming up with a failed to initialize error, same thing happens with stock.
Still looking for a way to get this to work... bump.

This. Screw Sense and its lack of Bluetooth support.

hah
the best part is how 4g works in cyanog
oh.. wait..
I looked into this a few weeks ago, I found the actual developer of the wiimote app had posted for help trying to solve the issue, it sounds like it's something as basic as sense using a custom function for bluetooth syncing and the developer doesn't know which function call to use as a replacement. The function could very likely exist, he just needs to know what it is.
Here is the thread, which he seems to have abandoned..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676212
We need to connect him with some of the other seasoned developers, htc would probably share whatever the function he needs to use is if someone would just ask using the correct channels.. I've seen several developers in the evo forums get direct responses from HTC over proprietary code issues, I think it's all about persistance.
Bump. We despritly need this support for our EVOs...
if cyanogen can do it, someone else should be able to mimic that and port it over to us

the problem is the bluetooth drivers in EVERY rom that has HTC Sense. Period. Unless HTC fixes it, it more than likely won't happen. it's not exactly something that can be flashed or installed...
Makes sense.

[Q&A][Official] Scorched Kernel ICS Discussion

The main thread should be limited to bug reports and logcats - use this thread for general conversation and question/answers stuffs.
Hope you guys like it!
Great work! Thanks for fixing the standby issue so quickly!
General question: Is it possible to have BLN support with this kernel for use with Tweaked?
I don't really know all that's involved with adding BLN, but it's the reason I keep switching from Tweaked to Thomas's PA. Then I miss wifi calling so I switch back

There are two components to BLN. The first part is kernel support, which is ridiculously easy to add in. The second part is a module called lights.msm8660.so that must be built against the proper Android framework (I think).
I've tried getting it to work with erikmm, using a .so file from Cyanogenmod and the BLN application just crashes.
I'm just a kernel developer... I have very limited knowledge of how to build the OS or modules like this one. However, if someone wants to chip in on that part, I'd be more than happy to lend any help I can.
I'll go ahead and add BLN support into the kernel in the next couple of days, and whoever wants to tinker around with getting the module working can do that
Dumb question
How do I access governor settings? Thanks.

Download antutu cpu master (free) from the play store, or another free app or buy or try some other program. There's quite a few. Almost all do the job well.

Thanks! My real job is getting in the way, but I'll get the change in there. Well, my real job and figuring out why the f**k I can't get adb shell to start as root. Seriously tried everything.
(edit) Everything I had not tried... root ADB access is now achieved. Woot!

Can I change the battery icon to percentage?

As the title says want to change the battery icon on the front screen to show the percentage of battery available. Anyone know how to change it?
I've only ever seen that feature in custom roms...it may not be available out of the box.

I thought that could be the case.. Will check on the play store for an alternative until a custom ROM is available.
Battery Widget Reborn is a good alternative until you get root.
I'm surprised google didn't introduce this in 4.4 as a built in option, it seems silly that they haven't.

Multi Window on Nexus 5

I'm sorry If I am asking a trivial question, but I just switched from Blackberry bold to Nexus 5 (Wooo big change) and now that I'm into rooting and customizing my stock android, I would like to add the multi window feature you find on Samsung galaxy s 4 to my nexus 5, so is this possible?
I'm not 100% sure but I think Omni ROM has multi window built it.

There is a thread in the development forums.

Also if you mean dual booting both Roms I haven't seen anything available for the nexus 5 yet. Or if you're talking about running both Roms together than no that's not possible
Omni's developers say they're almost done with multi window. Considering how efficient they seem to be so far, I guess that means it will be a few days. There are rumours of unofficial builds with glitchy multi window support but I can't find them.

The module hasn't been updated since Feb either. It's loosely based on XHaloFloatingWindow, so I imagine it has the same issues, eg not all apps working properly and inability to switch between full window and reduced (floating).

Development Release Notes...
Thread CLOSED. Builds are all broken, no updates EVER. No chance of being fixed.​
I don't mean to be rude or anything, but what is the purpose of this thread? Why don't you just let the people convert the ROM themselves with the app by @legolas93? This way you are just taking away legolas93's profit from the app.
Sorry... I guess i didnt think about that... Removing link...

I think you're being a bit harsh to the guy tbh, he was just trying to provide a service, if he had actually mentioned @legolas93 then I bet you wouldn't have slated him?
Anyway, good work @LiquidSmokeX64 with providing your service. I'm still sticking to my own conversion (Edit: Using @legolas93 Convert to F2FS) but I still think yours is as important as anyone else's on here. However please just remember to give thanks if the work is not entirely your own. (Edit: Noted that @LiquidSmokeX64 has now edited his first post).
Thanks,
TS
P.s. Convert to F2FS is available on the Play Store.

Well I thank you for your kind words. I was just trying to make it easy for the leery traveler and provide a simple CM-11 with All-F2FS support.
@legolas93.... If you have an issue with me doing this for people please let me know. And we'll figure out something.
I believe that a simple converted CM shouldn't be an issue.

Well, yeah, it probably sounded harsher than I wanted. I'm sorry, I mean no disrespect and wish to support people who actively participate in Android development. On the other hand, I still don't think this work is original enough to justify its own thread. Anyway, mentioning @legolas93 in the OP and perhaps adding a message encouraging people to buy his app would be appropriate here.
To end this on a more friendly note, please, don't stop developing and bring us something awesome
I edited the post to encourage buying the app and am going to be intentionally late with the nightlies as well.
As far as development goes. I'd like to get into it again but I only know how to edit a few things in the build.prop, and updater script.
Besides that adding a few apps is no big deal lol.
I'd like to actually figure out the good stuff but sadly have no clue how to go about learning that stuff. I'm just a regular guy trying to do what I can for the community where I think I can be of some use.

And if @typhoonscotland would be willing.... I would greatly appreciate your knowledge on how to do the conversion myself if you would be willing to share said knowledge to help me in my quest for a better ROM for everyone
Sent from my Nexus 7 (grouper) using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well if I can't get a way to convert from my computer using some OS this thread may be dead before it even gets going...
Dropped my N7 off a roof... needless to say it didn't survive. But if something can get figured out I'll still build for this device even without my own lol.
OK. Back up and running. Found a tool i can use on windows to do this. Have credited accordingly, for this is almost no work on my part besides the thread.
So sweet deal. I'm open to suggestions for a better kernel if needed.
So what kernel does this new method use? I'm really curious, just can't see for myself
Hey. I have a whole new ROM I've been working on (for Jewel). Pure CM. With an incredible Aroma Installer. No need for Gapps either. Just was looking to see if I should build it for Grouper and place it here. Any takers?

Ok ROM is finally out of hiding. Soon as AFH stops being weird and not letting me upload for some reason I will have it up.
Prepare for some nice advanced features here . The folks in EVO 4G LTE seem to enjoy it so far. Last release before project rename had 56 DLs in a couple days with only one complaint that got fixed this time around.
Edit:
it'll be up tomorrow...

Well give me a few hours ok man. I had to remove Gapps and that process has been giving me issues. But UNITYROM-RELEASE-3-jewel is up, and im starting the crossover process for the other devices now. Nexus 5 is still uploading, and Nexus 7 is next. Just hang in there. I think you'll be pleasantly suprised with my work.

It may have been a bad upload. I had some issues that day it seems. But if I had more info on the error I can try to get it fixed up real quick. I'm sure it's something easy. But I am building blind (no device).
I just checked It. Yes it was a bad upload the sizes were wrong. I'm reuploading now and will verify its the right size this time
OK thanks
